For the Taco Meat
Ingredients:

- Salt, to taste
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 2 tbsp oil for cooking
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
- Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin powder, black pepper powder, and salt.
- Add the jalapeño and tomato paste, stirring well.
- Pour in the water and simmer for 8-10 minutes, letting the flavors combine and ensuring the meat is fully cooked. Set aside.
For the Assembly
Ingredients:
- 10 large tortillas
- 10 tostadas (or 1 cup nacho chips)
- 10 mini tortillas
- 1 cup lettuce, sliced
- 1 cup tomato, diced
- 1 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole (optional)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- Oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Take a large tortilla and spread a spoonful of taco meat onto the center.
- Add a tostada or a handful of nacho chips on top of the meat.
- Layer with lettuce, tomato, red onion, sour cream, guacamole (if using), salsa, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Place a smaller tortilla on top of the filling.
- Fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating pleats. Ensure the folds overlap to seal the wrap.
- Invert the wrap so the pleats are on the bottom, securing the filling.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the Crunchwrap seam-side down for 3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Repeat for all wraps.
Tips for Success
- Fold the tortillas gently to avoid tears.
- Press down lightly while cooking to ensure even browning.
- Serve the Crunchwraps immediately for the best texture and flavor.
