Serves: 4Prep: 20 minsCook: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/4 cup Water
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 4 Small crunchy corn tortillas (optional, for freezing)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tbsp Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the lean ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and water to the ground beef. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is cooked through and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Lay out the large flour tortillas. Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly onto one half of each tortilla.
- If freezing, omit the crunchy corn tortilla. If serving immediately, place a crunchy corn tortilla on top of the beef mixture.
- Fold the other half of the flour tortilla over the filling to create a semi-circle. Carefully fold the edges inward to secure the filling, creating a sealed package.
- Melt butter or heat oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sear the crunch wraps seam-side down for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and sealed.
- Add the shredded cheeses to the hot skillet until they bubble and begin to melt. Place the crunch wrap on top of the melted cheese.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining crunch wraps, adding more cheese as needed.
- Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil and plastic wrap for freezing. Reheat in a microwave for approximately 5 minutes.
