Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

Ground beef: Cooked and seasoned to perfection, this is the main protein component of the wrap.

Flour tortillas: Large and soft, these tortillas will encase all the delicious fillings.

Tostada shells: These provide a satisfying crunch in the middle of the wrap.

Lettuce: Shredded for a fresh, crisp texture.

Tomatoes: Diced to add a juicy burst of flavor.

Cheese: Shredded to melt perfectly inside the wrap.

Sour cream: Adds a creamy tanginess to balance the other flavors.

To ensure your tortilla stays securely wrapped and doesn't fall apart during grilling, slightly warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before assembling. This makes the tortilla more pliable and easier to fold tightly around the tostada shell and fillings.
