The Ultimate Guide to Making the Perfect Emma Crunchwrap Supreme at Home

Emma Crunchwrap Supreme

Every time Emma made these golden Crunchwrap Supremes, the kitchen would fill with laughter, and we’d all sneak bites before they even hit the table. Just like those late-night drive-thru runs, but made with a whole lot more love. Make a batch, gather the family, and relive those warm, cheesy memories one bite at a time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. ground paprika
  • Kosher salt & black pepper
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • ½ cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 4 tostada shells
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef

  1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Break it up with a spoon until fully browned (~6 min). Drain excess fat and transfer to a bowl. Wipe the skillet clean.

Step 2: Prep Tortillas

  1. Stack 4 large tortillas and place a tostada shell in the center.
  2. Use a knife to trace around the shell, cutting out 4 smaller tortilla rounds.

Step 3: Assemble Crunchwraps

  1. On the remaining 4 large tortillas, spread a scoop of beef in the center, leaving space at the edges.
  2. Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, then place a tostada shell on top.
  3. Spread sour cream over the shell, then layer with lettuce, tomatoes, and both cheeses.
  4. Place a small tortilla round on top, then fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over, pleating tightly.
  5. Quickly flip the Crunchwrap so the pleats stay sealed.

Step 4: Cook to Crispy Perfection

  1. Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place each Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  3. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps.

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the crunch!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Cook and cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap individually in foil, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
  • Customize: Swap beef for ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles. Add jalapeños or avocado for extra flavor!
