A complete copycat version from Taco Bell! Except completely homemade and made so much more healthier! Get your fix now!
Guysssssss. I’m finally heading home. I’m literally enroute to Los Angeles right now, about 21 hours into my journey of a total of 33 hours.
South Africa is quite the journey but so worth it. The culture. The market shops. The bartering. The view on top of Table Mountain. The breastfeeding mama rhino. All of it.
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
But I’m also thrilled to be heading home. I miss Butters. I miss that four-legged turkey-legging troublemaker.
But not only that, I miss this crunch wrap. Yes, I made a complete copycat version except the homemade version is epic. So epic, I ate 5. But it’s homemade so we’re good.
Just don’t tell anyone. K, thanks.
Homemade Crunch Wrap Supreme
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasoning
- 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
- ½ cup nacho cheese
- 4 tostada shells
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; stir in taco seasoning. Drain excess fat; set aside.
- Heat tortillas according to package instructions.
- Heat nacho cheese according to package instructions.
- Working one at a time, place ground beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with nacho cheese and tostada shell. Spread sour cream in an even layer over the tostada shell; top with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Fold the edges up and over the center. Continue to work your way around the tortilla, folding as tight as possible.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Place wrap seam-side down and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook wrap on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer.
- Serve immediately.

Great meal. Easy to make. Hint: Found a video that puts a round cut out from another tortilla on top of the tostado tomato lettuce and cheese. It makes it easier to fold up nicely.
I made a vegetarian version and it turned out great!
Beyond Meat Ground Beef
Vegan Refried Beans
Good Foods Vegan Queso
Chao Creamery Slices
This thing is so Delicious if you follow the instruction. If you haven’t made it yet you better make it cause of how good it is . 10/10 I defiantly recommend.
Hubby loves these and I had never eaten one, made them for dinner as a treat and he bragged that they were way better than the fast food version, kids devoured them too.. Used our favorite Queso Mama white queso with green chilies and Ari will definitely make them again
Haven’t made but I will very soon, and I know it’s going to so darn good. I ordered this item off Taco Bell and it is nothing like what a taco Crunchwrap should look like.
So, thank you very much for bringing the REAL into the Crunchwrap supreme!
It has been years since I’ve made this, and it was beyond delicious! Coming back to make it again – but wasn’t the cheese sauce homemade before? I remember making it from scratch, not a premade nacho sauce
Making this tonight with your recipe . Question though . Do I bake the tostadas first? Packaging says they get baked but do you in your recipe ? Thanks in advnace .
Tastes like Taco Bell, but better!
Ok so I love you and all your recipes & never comment. This is my fav from Taco Bell and made it tonight for 5 BOYS who all said it was their favorite dinner I’ve ever made lol!I’ve made some good other things of course! We loved it too. Thank you!!
Delicious! I was lazy and didn’t drain the beef because it was extra lean and didn’t drain the tomatoes, so there wasn’t as much crunch and the tortillas were slightly soggy last few bites. I don’t think the recipe mentions to keep refreshing the oil in the pan as you go, but you definitely need to do that. Also, put some sour cream in a small piping or ziploc bag and cut the corner, or use a squeeze bottle to save a bunch of time and potential frustration.
Taste awesome very easy to customize; but could not get them to close decently.
You should try not to add too many toppings so it can close.
These ARE AMAZING!!!!
These turned out great and were deeeellliiiiooouuussss
Pretty tasty!! My family loved them!
My family loved this and asked for it to be a regular meal. If you have little kids: I broke the tostadas a little smaller for the Crunchwrap to be easier for little hands to hold. I have 6 kids and they all loved that they could customize their own.
These were so good and easy to make! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and low sodium taco seasoning to make it a little healthier. Next time, I won’t put the sour cream directly on the tostada because it made it soggy by the time I toasted the final product. My husband and I loved the recipe though and would definitely make this again for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Thank you!
This was so good! I used 1/2 pound ground beef and 1/2 can refried beans…it was good! I cannot believe how easy and how GOOD these were! I ordered and received your cookbook last week and love it…but so grateful you have your blog also….AWESOME recipes! THANK YOU!!!!
So so good and easy!! 17/10 from all family members 🙂
I loved it! I used oatmeal instead of the ground hamburger, and boiled water instead of everything else. I served it in a bowl, and ate it with a spoon. It was awesome!
Just kidding..I made it exactly as listed, and it was awesome 🙂
Why would anyone change such a perfect recipe? Shame shame..
Cliff wins best comment ever.
Omg this comment had me gone for a min thinking what is this person possibly thinking lol
Cliff Dude! So freaking funny!
LOL!
I made these and let me tell you…THEY ARE THE BOMB!!! I really love this recipe. 10/10
Excellent! Made it as is for my husband and sons. Made it vegan for me. Used beefless crumbles with taco seasoning. Used some shredded vegan cheese. On 2nd layer, I used Kitehill plain unsweetened yogurt as sour cream (this brand is so thick like sour cream, it’s perfect!!). My flour tortillas were a little too small so I placed a corn tortilla on top and then folded the flour tortilla as directed and they turned out perfect. Made them on my panini maker.
I don’t eat at Taco Bell but my 22 y/o and asked me to make this for dinner. The 18 y/o and the 22 y/o loved it. I did too! My tortillas were not quite 12 inches and the “cheese” top was a bit exposed but it worked. Formed its own crust. Definitely, a fun dinner to present to the “kids”. I had guac ready for me and I did not even need it. I enjoyed it too!
Going to make this with ground turkey tonight.. don’t have queso but I do have a bottle of taco Bell’s avocado ranch which I bought at my local Winn dixie. I’ll let you know how they turn out!!
Thank you for sharing. This was so good. My kids was like, this was better than Taco Bell’s.
thanks for sharing! Made it today and it came out awesome. Added some modifications to my taste but followed the putting together instructions and came out super good!
Just made these for dinner tonight! Sooo good! I couldn’t find 12-inch tortillas at my local grocery store, so I made it work with the 10-inch ones. Thanks so much for creating this copycat recipe!!!
Crunchwraps are my favorite fast food. I haven’t been eating out since the pandemic and this hit the spot!!!! I used the largest tortillas I could find and they were still too small to completely fold over the top, so I had to tear off another tortilla and use that small piece to close it off.
I did the same thing, Yvette!!!
I originally used another recipe that was pretty much identical to this one, but it said to cut one of the 12 inch tortillas to the size of the tostada to cover where it won’t folder over completely – Instead of doing that, I bought the large tortillas and a package of the taco size tortillas – they worked perfectly! I know that’s a lot of tortillas to buy, but I knew that we would use them up…(Family of 6).
I can’t wait to try this! Always love Chunga’s recipes!
Any recommendations for “Nacho cheese”?
You can buy individual serving sizes of nacho cheese from Taco Bell. Their nacho cheese is the best.
I made this for me and my two roommates. We all agreed it tastes EXACTLY the same. Amazing, never going back to Taco Bell again. Crunchwraps are my fav. I had leftover greek yogurt from a different meal I made, so I used that instead of sour cream – tastes exactly the same (for anyone who’s looking for a healthier sub). Thanks for sharing.
OMG–I have moved overseas almost 2 years ago. I have completely forgotten how delicious the occasional Crunch Wrap Supreme was!!!! There is a bit of a problem getting all the ingredients–I will have to rely on friends, once worldwide travel begins again–to bring the taco seasonings. Homemade just doesn’t quite make it (I am sure it is all of the chemicals) the same.
My husband and I have been together for over three years at this point and I’ve been cooking the whole time. I made these tonight and he said it was his favorite thing I’ve ever made (and I cook delicious, gourmet, from scratch meals)! We are big Taco Bell fans around here and this tasted even better than the real ones! Followed recipe exactly, with homemade taco seasoning, except my tortillas weren’t quite large enough so we cut little circles from the extra tortillas to fill the gap. It worked perfectly! We had some extra Taco Bell hot sauce packets lying around so used those on them. Perfect way to satisfy that fast food craving!
Definitely not healthier, this has more calories than a Crunchwrap from Taco Bell. This recipe has 658 calories per Crunchwrap vs the one from Taco Bell that has 530. Regardless, it’s still tasty because let’s be honest no one wanting a Crunchwrap is looking for a healthy meal lol. So, fun recipe but misleading article :///
Dee, it may have more calories, but it may also have less chemicals
hun, chemicals are in everything. you can’t just “not eat chemicals” in your life, because even WATER is a chemical. think about healthier ingredients as a response rather than blaming everything on chemicals.
But you knew what they meant right? Did you think she meant water or did you think she meant things, like preservatives, that are unhealthy for our bodies and nobody should eat? Bc that’s the kind of chemical in delicious delicious Taco Bell
Fred, I know you wrote this a year ago but your delicious delicious comment has me giggling.
simple solution, use a tablespoon of meat like TB does.
not if you use lower calorie modifications!! mine came out to ~400 calories each because i used extra lean ground beef, low carb tortillas, light sour cream, fat free cheese and go light on the queso! tastes exactly the same!
Even better is you make homemade taco seasoning mix!
This was a huge hit! My kids are super picky eaters and they both liked it. I left the sour cream out because we didn’t have any, and it still worked well.
I made this with lentils and taco seasoning instead of using beef. Its an excellent meat substitute texture wise and with the seasoning you cant tell its not meat!
I haven’t made this yet but I came here because I live in South Africa and have been dying for some Taco Bell and then I read your post – so funny!
Just made these for me and my brother!! So much better than what Taco Bell has to offer. Had to use tortilla chips cause I couldn’t find any tostada’s here but still super amazing!!
It’s so much better and healthier than the fast food version. Glad you agree, Becky!
My husband always gets Crunch Wraps from Taco Bell (I tried one once, didn’t like it, so I get Chalupas) so we tried this. I LOVED these. So much better than nasty Taco Bell. They got better the more we ate. It was weird. Anyway. I couldn’t find 12 inch tortillas anywhere so I got 10 inch. Of course, then I couldn’t fold it and cover the filling so I just broke up the tostada so it was a smaller circle and just had some broken bits inside it like chips. Then it was just fine. Also, I feel like a ton of people are saying they couldn’t figure out how to fold it, which is almost unfair to Chungah because now it looks like her recipe is faulty and its not. Its written just fine, I don’t get why people need a video to help them fold it. I barely even read that part and figured it out.
Thank you so so much for this recipe! I decided to make this homemade Crunch Wrap and compare it to the actual Taco Bell Crunch Wrap and I must say, this one was much better haha! 10/10 would recommend and make again. And if you’re interested in the video, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJd6XrXi7KY&t=31s
EASY! Only thing I changed since mine were so big, that I had to add a small tortilla on very top under large tortilla so when I wraped it, it all was covered tasted and were delicious!
So I’ve made my own crunch wraps before and I’ve got to say it beats going to taco Bell and paying overpriced for a sub par crunch wrap with barely anything in it. Not only that but you can replicate the lava sauce and add your own spices and amounts.
I’ve never eaten Taco Bell food but this recipe intrigued me. I printed it out and will try it soon. I’ll add grilled onions and use shredded cheese and a low-sodium seasoning. Not being familiar with tostadas shells, are they necessary? Can I use a cut round of tortilla shells if they’re used to stop the filling from falling out?
Lauren, the crisp and crunch of the tostada shells are key to this recipe but as always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
Tostadas are simply baked/fried small corn tortillas. Easy to make your own. 😀
I make your recipes at least once a week. These got RAVE reviews from the fam! I even made them up while on a work related call. I forgot the taco seasoning. Added the lettuce, sour cream and tomato after I “fried” them. I never leave recipe comments because I usually tweet too much but this was a Keeper!
Thanks for sharing!
I could SCREAM this looks so good!
I made these this past weekend and they came out great. From one food blogger to another, thank you for this awesome recipe that totally saved dinner for my family!
Confused. 4 tortillas but the servings are 8. so 2 servings per tortilla? doesnt seem that healthy..
Yes, that is correct, this recipe yields 8 servings for 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas and 4 tostada shells.
Five? You must have great mental strength to stop at five!!!
I love your photos!!!
I made these for dinner tonight..so easy to put together and soooo delicious! My husband wants to renew our wedding vows:). Thank you!
What is “nacho cheese”? Assume it’s a jarred product?
Yes!
Thanks Chungah! My kids love these! I discovered a short video at https://www.popsugar.com/food/Taco-Bell-Crunchwrap-Supreme-Recipe-37148033 for the visual learners out there. It compliments your recipe perfectly.
note:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasoning
4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
I made these for my husband last week and he asked for them this week too! I couldn’t find big enough tortillas so I put a smaller taco shell in the middle and wrapped the edges of the larger tortilla around it. Worked perfectly!
Was going to make plain old tacos tonight but then I came across this recipe and figured what the heck! OMG these were good (I made 2 for me) my son had a modified version and asked for seconds. Super easy to make (no video needed) you just pull the tortilla up and turn, up and turn. Grill both sides and serve. Definitely will be adding these to my dinner repertoire.
These are AMAZING!! Super easy to make. Directions were simple to understand & there are pictures to reference. If you haven’t made these yet, Do IT!! 🙂
Thank you Chungah!!
These look incredible and I can’t wait to try them BUT – breastfeeding mama rhino? I need more information!
It looks so delicious, I will try to make it. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Thanks for posting this! Just made this for lunch and it came out perfect and delicious!
Made this for dinner tonight, only subbing lightly crushed tortilla chips for the tostada shells. I also stuck to just using shredded cheese rather than adding the nacho cheese. It was absolutely amazing! Totally recommend, will for sure make again.
I’m not sure ho these go together. do you break up the tostada shell? Sounds good but I need more instructions.J
No, the shells are not broken.
Hi! I’m new to your website after finding your yummy cookbook. My family (who are a bunch of picky eaters, but I still love them anyway!) love, love, love every recipe I’ve made of yours. Thank you oh so much!
I am vegetarian so I subbed refried beans for ground beef! So so so soooo delicious and super easy to make! Careful not to overload the crunchwrap ~ makes for an easier folding experience 🙂
Thank you so much for posting!
My husband and niece are fans of Taco Bell. I don’t eat fast food often but when I do I am totally Team Taco Time and the Crisp Bean Burrito w/ hot sauce. I came across your recipe for homemade crunch wraps and surprised them for dinner tonight with these and I am now currently the most popular person in our house 🙂
Seriously – they went nuts! Rave reviews all around, high praise, snapchat stories, even the cats got in on the act when my husband wasn’t moving quick enough and they slobbered all over the top of his crunch wrap. (Yes, I made him another one). These will now be part of my regular meal-planning rotation and my husband has asked for a breakfast version. 6 thumbs and 8 cat paws up for this recipe!
Amazing! I made these tonight and we all loved them. So simple to make too
OMG these are glorious. I made them with refried beans instead of beef and they were great!
Can I freeze these? If so how would you recommend reheating them?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
I understand that this is homemade, and supposed to be better for you, but if you check the Taco Bell nutrition, their crunchwrap supreme actually has way less calories (530) and fat (21g)…any suggestions on making this “healthier” without sacrificing taste? …Not trying to be a negative Nancy, I truly love your website and recipes, just trying to eat a little better 🙂
You can serve this as smaller portions, and/or reduce the amount of nacho cheese, sour cream or cheese. Hope that helps!
Thanks! 🙂
Try leaving out the olive oil. Use a little water while separating and Browning.
We use ground turkey rather than beef or occasionally will use shredded chicken. The ground turkey with homemade taco seasoning doesn’t taste any different after seasoning it.
I love your recipes Chungah! I’m not sure what is up with the negative comments lately, but I love YOUR website and recipes. I hope those who don’t quite understand or agree, find their own way to make the recipe to their liking. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Awesome recipe. Depending on the size of the tortilla used, a small piece from an additional tortilla may be needed to cover all of the filling.
I made these tonight. Although I have never purchased these at Taco Bell, I thought it looked like a nice change from ordinary tacos. I found your instructions to be very clear, and easy to understand. Perhaps you meant for the recipe to use 12″ tortillas. The tostada shells were 5″. That is not enough tortilla to fold over the top and have it closed up. I instead had to cut the tostada in half and place it so it was “taco” style, in order to brown.
It wasn’t as impressive tasting as it looks. But it was fun to try!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like one of my greatest first-world challenges in life is getting a Taco Bell fix without said “ground meat product” or a drive-through. You rock.
How do you keep conetnts from falling out when cooking?
It’s wrapped up! 🙂
Wow I love this!!!
What kind of nacho cheese did you use?
I used store-bought from my local grocery store.
Get outta town….these look amazing! Can’t wait to try them!
This is the crunch wrap I’ve been craving!
Whaat, I just realised I missed quite a few of your posts, somehow 🙁 … Thought I was subscribed to your blog but looks like not. Re-subscribed! Love this crunch wrap supreme! Wish someone made that for me right now as I am starving here! 🙂
This crunch wrap looks perfect! I’m sure south Africa was amazing. I have been there thrice and every time I go I just fall more and more in love with its beauty!
love

is there a video to this recipe? I need visuals………Thanks!!
Not at this time.
Thanks! Recipe is super clear – no video required and your generosity is lovely! To some others – get some class!
Is there a video for this?
Not at this time.
Why would anyone need a video? YOU DON’T GET ONE IN A COOK BOOK
There’s one on either FB.
This sounds delicious but can we have a video of this please? Can’t “see” the process in my mind…
Wish there was a video on how to put together. Kind of confused lol. Thanks for the recipe. Definitely will attempt.
Same, or photos!
Is there a video for this? Looks yummy!
Not at this time.
I saw a video on FB for it
.
It’s by Delish.com
How could this be labelled homemade and healthier using “packaged” taco seasoning. Isn’t packaged seasoning loaded with sodium?
You can use homemade taco seasoning!
You’re too nice! Some of these comments are so rude. LOVE your site! Thanks for all the dinner inspiration!
Check your store for a low sodium version. I like the Trader Joe’s version. No preservatives, fillers, or excess salt.
I always make my own taco seasoning. I never buy the packet seasoning, although it is available in low sodium.
