Fast food is not always the best answer to “what’s for dinner?” and lucky for us, making Crunchwrap Supremes at home is easier than you think. In fact, call your family and friends into the kitchen to help. Prep the ingredients ahead of time and set them out for everyone to build their own. Then, pop them on the griddle to brown and warm through as they’re built.
Tips for Making a Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme
Practice makes perfect when it comes to assembling a Crunchwrap Supreme. Here are some quick tips to help you along:
If the tortillas are a bit stiff and difficult to work with, heat them for 10 seconds in the microwave or for a minute on a warm pan. They will become more pliable and they won’t break.In the recipe, I recommend a specific order for layering the fillings. Follow the order! It’s the only way to ensure the cheese melts, the meat warms up, and the lettuce stays crisp and cool.Don’t overfill your Crunchwrap Supreme—it’ll be difficult to wrap and it won’t stay wrapped. To fold the Crunchwrap Supreme, start by folding the side of the tortilla closest to you towards the center. Use both hands to press the folded edges down so that they keep their shape. Rotate the Crunchwrap Supreme clockwise little by little as you continue folding the tortilla. There are photos in the recipe below to help you along!
Two Easy Substitutions
If you don’t have tostada shells, use salted tortilla chips instead.Looking for a meatless option? Use your favorite plant-based meat substitute or your favorite beans instead of the ground beef.
Plan Ahead
I would not recommend assembling the Crunchwrap Supremes ahead of time because the tostadas will get soggy. Store all the ingredients separately in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, assemble and griddling them fresh to order. If you do choose to assemble them ahead of time—pack them for school lunch and you’ll be called a cafeteria hero—wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. If you’re home and would like to reheat them, pop them on a griddle on low heat directly from the fridge until just warmed through.

Lay 1 whole tortilla on a cutting board or clean work surface. Spoon about a quarter of the nacho cheese into the center of the tortilla. Spread it out to approximately the size of your tostada. Spread about a quarter of the seasoned beef on top of the nacho cheese and top it with the tostada. If you’re using tortilla chips, layer about a quarter of them on top of the beef. Then sprinkle on a quarter each of the sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Finally, place one of the cut tortilla on top. Use both hands to carefully flip the Crunchwrap Supreme so the folded seams face down. Assemble and cook the remaining 3 wraps following steps 3 to 5. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
