- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 20 round tortilla chips
- 20 teaspoons sour cream divided
- 2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
- 1 ½ cups finely shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 40 5-inch flour tortillas
- ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
Step 1: Cook the Meat
Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook it until browned. Add the taco seasoning and water, letting it simmer for about five minutes. Stir in smoked paprika for an extra kick.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer, and then add the shredded cheese, stirring until it’s melted and smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Crunchwraps
Now comes the fun part! Take a tortilla and spread a teaspoon of sour cream in the center. Layer a tablespoon of cooked beef on top, followed by a bit of cheese sauce, three tortilla chips, diced tomatoes, and lettuce.
Step 4: Folding the Crunchwrap
This step might take a bit of practice, but it’s fun! Gently fold the edges of the tortilla inward, forming pleats. It should look like a little pocket. You want to keep everything tucked neatly, so have a bit of patience.
Step 5: Cook the Crunchwrap
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies enhance the flavors significantly.
- Customize the Meat: Feel free to use chicken, turkey, or even beans if you want a vegetarian option.
- Temperature Matters: Make sure your cheese sauce is warm and gooey for easy layering.
- Get Creative: Add your favorite toppings—black olives, jalapeños, or avocado work beautifully.
- Practice Your Folding: The more you do it, the easier it gets to fold those little pockets!
