We took a fast-food favorite and made it way (way!) bigger. And since it’s stuffed with delicious layers of beef, cheese, crunch and sour cream, you’ll be glad it’s large enough to share.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- One 1-ounce package taco seasoning
- 1 cup jarred cheese sauce
- Seven 12-inch flour tortillas
- 4 tostada rounds
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1 plum tomato, diced
- Canola oil, for brushing
- Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to the package instructions on the taco seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cheese sauce in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warm and pourable.
- On a work surface, lay out 5 flour tortillas in a circle, overlapping slightly. Add a tortilla to the middle, on top of the others. Spread the ground beef evenly over the center tortilla. Pour the cheese onto the beef (it’s okay if it’s not completely covered). Cover the cheese with a layer of 4 tostada rounds. Press them down, breaking them a little, to make a flat layer. Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the tostadas. Sprinkle the lettuce over the top of the sour cream, then sprinkle with the tomatoes. Add the final tortilla over the tomato. Fold the sides of the tortillas up and over to wrap around the layers. The top should be covered in overlapping folds. Press the wrap down so that it is even and not domed. Brush the top with canola oil.
- Remove the rimmed baking sheet from the oven. Brush the baking sheet with canola oil, then carefully transfer the wrap to the baking sheet meat-side down. Bake immediately until the top is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Invert the crunch wrap onto a serving platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with hot sauce if using.

Reviews
Just awesome and very fun to make. I’ve made it 3 times. I don’t eat meat so I used Morning Star Crumbles a meat substitute. Very, very good
I have now made this recipe many times in the past 6 months so I feel qualified to share what I have altered. I add black beans between the meat and cheese layers. I don’t know why, but it just tastes so much better than it already does. I also sub store bought pico de gallo instead of the tomatoes because it means less prep work. Either way, it comes out great. I recommend the cheese sauce you might find in the refrigerated section of the store and make sure you use the canola oil. Other oils do not seem to have the same result. I also have left it in the oven for around 10 minutes and this heats it through better for my oven.
This has become a staple in our house- quick, easy, and tasty. I use ground pork.
Family approved! Used low carb tortillas as lower carb option with Alton Browns taco mix recipe. Fantastic!
Love this recipe. The ease of making these with all the ingredients fits my very much older way of thinking beautifully. We make only one addition: sliced black olives because we always put them on our tacos. And even better is a fantastic taco sauce recipe my MIL got way back when my FIL was in the U.S. Navy. It doesn’t get better than that!
The kids really like my recipe for this version ok!!..!!..!!..
Very good!
We LOVE this Recipe!!! Thank You!!!!
The BEST…… my family couldn’t get enough.
Have to make this every Friday now, instead of pizza nite.
This is good! I used half hot and half medium spicy taco seasoning. Low-fat sour cream. It’s really good!
