Important Ingredients
Beef Grain – Ground beef cooked with taco seasoning provides those delightful Mexican spices we all know and love. If you like, you may easily replace the beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Tortillas de Flour – These are crucial for your Mexican tortilla wraps. Flour tortillas are significantly more malleable and fold readily than maize tortillas.
They’re the foundation of this dish, and they do a fantastic job of holding the rest of the components in place.
Crushed Tortilla Chips — At the end of the recipe, we cook our tortilla wraps to get a wonderful crispy surface, but what about the inside?
The crushed tortilla chips come into play here. They give these wraps an additional crunch layer. They are, believe me, necessary.
Chef’s Advice
- When folding, remember to be careful. This portion of the process must not be hastened, or the contents will pour out. Make sure your tortilla is folded neatly all the way around.
- Drain as much fat as possible from the ground beef during cooking. The amount of fat released by the beef depends on how lean the meat is. Before adding the taco spice and water, remove the fat.
- Experiment with the fillings! If desired, black beans can be added. Substitute your favorite cheese for the shredded Mexican cheese. There’s no wrong way to stuff these Mexican tortilla wraps, no matter what you put in them!

- On a level surface, place one flour tortilla. Cut halfway up the tortilla from the bottom edge to the center. Toss cooked nacho cheese and cooked ground beef into the tortilla’s lower left quadrant. In the top left quadrant, place a tiny quantity of shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Top right quadrant with crumbled tortilla chips. In the lower right quadrant, finish with sour cream and grated cheese.
- Fold the quadrant with the ground beef and nacho cheese up and place it on top of the lettuce and tomato quadrant.
- Overlap the first two quadrants on top of the tortilla chip quadrant.
- Fold the first three quadrants over the cheese and sour cream quadrant.
- In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter and carefully arrange crunchwrap in the hot pan. 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown
- Continue with the remaining crunch wraps.
Notes
