Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup water
- 6 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 6 street taco size flour tortillas
- 2/3 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 6 tostadas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups colby jack cheese, grated
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups diced iceberg lettuce
- Vegetable oil for cooking crunchwraps
- 8 taco-size flour tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup red sauce
- 1/2 cup diced romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup finely diced white onion
Directions:
-
For the Crunchwrap Supreme: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s cooked through, drain the excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, letting it simmer for a few minutes. Take a burrito tortilla, lay it flat, and add the beef, nacho cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, a tostada, and a dollop of sour cream. Place a smaller tortilla on top, then fold the edges to seal all the goodness inside. Heat some vegetable oil in the skillet and cook the crunchwrap until golden brown on both sides.
-
For the Mexican Pizza: Grab a taco-size tortilla and layer it with refried beans and the ground beef mixture. Pour over some enchilada sauce, then sprinkle cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and olives on top. Add another tortilla over it and bake in the oven until the cheese melts and everything is nice and bubbly.
-
For the Burrito Supreme: Take a taco-size tortilla again and layer it with the ground beef, refried beans, red sauce, and a good amount of cheese. Add the diced tomatoes, lettuce, onions, olives, and a swipe of sour cream. Roll it tightly and it’s ready to be enjoyed!
