Learn how to make homemade crunchwrap supremes -- way better than anything you'd get at Taco Bell! This handheld, fully loaded wrap is filled with a layer of ground beef, a crispy crunchy tostada topped with melty nacho cheese, cool sour cream, lettuce, and tomato then pan-seared until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Beefy, cheesy, crispy, and crunchy in every bite!
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and water and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Notes
These are best enjoyed immediately after cooking, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. They will likely get soggy and lose the “crunch” both from the tortillas and from the lettuce/tomatoes.
Rico’s brand nacho cheese is very close to Taco Bell’s, but any brand can be used. Shredded cheese can also be used in place of the nacho cheese.
For a vegetarian option, skip the ground beef and use black beans or refried beans.
