How to Make
Start by preparing the meat mixture. In a large skillet over medium high heat brown the meat, then drain. Add the packet of taco seasoning and a can of diced tomatoes. Stir, then remove from heat.
Heat a skillet
Heat a clean pan, or griddle over medium heat.
Microwave the tortillas
Wrap a large tortilla in dampened paper toweling. Heat in the microwave for 40 seconds. Repeat before making the next crunch wrap. This helps the tortilla not crack when folding. Go ahead and skip this step if you’re using regular flour tortillas.
Assemble the crunch wrap
Place about a 1/3 cup of meat mixture onto the center of the large tortilla. Place a tostada on top of the meat. Spread with Greek yogurt. Add cheese, salsa, cheese sauce (if using), and lettuce on top of the tostada.
Wrap the crunch wrap
This can be the challenging part. If you simply start wrapping each side in starting on one side and gently working your way around while holding down the folded parts it goes smoothly. Once you do one you’ll get the hang of it.
When using gluten-free tortillas you’ll likely only fold the four sides. Make sure the pan has plenty of oil sprayed in it as this is what helps seal the crunch wrap shut.
Top with the smaller tortilla then bend the corners of the large tortilla around the top to seal shut.
Cook
Spray pan or griddle with plenty of non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil. The oil helps seal the crunch wrap supreme shut along with giving it a nice golden brown color. Cook crunch wrap for 3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Serve immediately.

Now that looks so cool. I love how easy you make it look. I would make a big mess out of that. Love the flavors and love how beautifully you wrapped it.
Create Kids Club says
You’d have it easily, Veena! It’s really easy to assemble, even if it looks tricky! 🙂
Carmy says
I. AM. HERE. FOR. THIS. RECIPE! I’m not even ashamed to say that I’ve always wanted to try the crunch wrap supreme but couldn’t bring myself to go to Taco Bell for it. Their food always look amazing in their ads but definitely are not as… packed when you purchase it. I’ve been meaning to DIY it but never got around to it. Thanks for this recipe!
Create Kids Club says
This made me laugh! This at-home version is so much better anyway, no need to hit up the drive thru! 😉
Ruchi says
Thank you for detailed instructions, it helps a lot! Very creative way to fold a tortilla, i will definitely give it a try!
Create Kids Club says
You’re welcome, Ruchi! I hope it helps!
Marisa Franca says
What a cute idea!! I love how you made it into a filled “pita”. This would go over big time during game Sunday!! The flavors sound delicious and I’m sure the crunchy wraps would be gone in no time.
Create Kids Club says
I love your game day idea! It would be a great halftime meal! 🙂
Catherine says
Oh this looks so good! I’ve seen these around a lot lately and would love to give them a try. I know my family would thoroughly enjoy these.
Create Kids Club says
Thanks, Catherine! I hope your family enjoys!
Heather says
Talk about a reason not to leave the house!! Now that you showed how to make these at home, I can’t wait to give it a whirl. Very informative blog post and a simple, delicious recipe.
Create Kids Club says
Thanks, Heather! I hope you do give them a try!
Mike says
I guess this is a silly question BUT, what do I do with the tortilla with the hole in it??
Jodi Danen, RDN says
Hi Mike – Not a silly question at all! I stood there looking at it myself the first time. I have cut the scraps into triangles, brushed them with oil then sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon and sugar (or just salt), bake at 350 degrees for about 5-8 minutes and you have delicious chips! Or you could buy the 6-inch sized shells and skip the cutting part. I think that size should work. I’d love to hear if you give it a try 🙂
