### **How to Make Homemade Crunch Wrap Supremes**
Now that you have all the ingredients, it’s time to assemble your **Homemade Crunch Wrap Supremes**! Here’s how to do it step by step:
#### **Step 1: Cook the Beef**
Start by cooking your **ground beef** (or protein of choice) in a skillet over medium heat. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the **taco seasoning** and **water**, then stir until everything is well combined. Let the beef mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, until thickened and flavorful. Set aside.
#### **Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas**
You’ll need two sizes of flour tortillas: one large for the outer wrap and one smaller for the inside. If you don’t have smaller tortillas, you can cut a larger one down to fit, but having two sizes really helps keep everything secure inside.
#### **Step 3: Assemble the Crunch Wrap**
Now it’s time to layer everything inside your tortillas:
1. **Start with the large tortilla**. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the **seasoned beef** in the center of the large tortilla.
3. Top with a small handful of **crushed tortilla chips** for the crunch factor.
4. Add a layer of **shredded cheese**.
5. Place a **smaller tortilla** on top of the cheese (this helps keep the fillings in place and provides an extra layer of crunch).
6. Now, top the smaller tortilla with **sour cream**, **shredded lettuce**, **diced tomato**, **sliced black olives**, and **jalapeños** if using.
#### **Step 4: Fold the Crunch Wrap**
Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling, starting with one side and working your way around, until the entire wrap is sealed into a hexagon shape. Tuck in the edges as you go to ensure the filling stays inside.
#### **Step 5: Cook the Crunch Wrap**
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with **olive oil** or a non-stick cooking spray. Place the folded **Crunch Wrap Supreme** seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about **3-5 minutes** on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and crisping.
Once the first side is golden and crispy, flip the wrap and cook the other side for another **3-5 minutes** until it’s crisp and browned. If necessary, you can cook the wraps in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
#### **Step 6: Serve and Enjoy**
Remove the Crunch Wrap from the skillet and slice it in half for easy serving. You can garnish with extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side for dipping. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and flavorful goodness!
### **Tips for Perfect Homemade Crunch Wrap Supremes**
– **Get Creative with Fillings**: While the traditional Crunch Wrap uses beef, don’t be afraid to experiment with other fillings like **chicken**, **ground turkey**, **beans**, or even **grilled vegetables** for a healthier option. You can also use **refried beans** for an extra creamy texture.
– **Don’t Skip the Chips**: The crushed tortilla chips are essential for adding the signature crunch to your homemade wrap. Be sure to add them before the cheese so they stay crisp and crunchy.
– **Make It Spicy**: If you like heat, try adding **hot sauce** or **spicy salsa** to the filling, or include extra **jalapeños** for a fiery kick.
– **Customize Your Cheese**: Feel free to mix different types of cheese such as **monterey jack**, **pepper jack**, or **queso blanco** for a meltier, more flavorful wrap.
– **Make Ahead**: You can prepare the filling and even assemble the Crunch Wraps ahead of time. Just store them in the fridge, then cook them in the skillet when you’re ready to serve.
