    This Crunch Wrap Supreme copycat recipe gets an elevated makeover with seasoned ground beef, creamy refried beans, smashed avocado, and Greek yogurt.

    Crunch wrap cut in half and stacked on top of each other.

    I've had my fair share of Taco Bell in my college days. But now I'm all about copycat recipes that are made with ingredients you can pronounce and still deliver on nostalgia.

    The YouTube video is linked below and you can see that this recipe was kid approved!

    The Crunch Wrap Fillings

    Use good ingredients! The secret to elevating any recipe is to use quality, well seasoned ingredients.

    In this case we're making a flavorful, saucy ground beef.

    Crunchwraps cut in half and stacked on top of each other,

    The ground beef is seasoned with spices and I add a blended tomato to make it nice and saucy. You can also used canned tomato sauce, but I blended a roma tomato.

    Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme doesn't have refried beans, but uses nacho cheese sauce. To get that same creaminess, I used my peruvian refried beans as the base of the crunchwrap.

    Refried Peruvian beans in a small yellow bowl with tortilla chips on the side.

    I like my beans extra creamy and run then through the blender with some of the cooking liquid. They turn out velvety smooth!

    The other swap I made is using plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream on the tostada part. This packs in some extra protein and creaminess.

    Assembling The Crunch Wrap Supreme

    You'll need a Burrito size flour tortilla and one crunchy tostada. I suggest assembling the crunchwrap on a cutting board so you have a work surface.

    Burrito size flour tortilla and 2 crunchy tostadas on a cutting board.

    Start by layering the refried beans, ground beef, hot sauce (optional), and finely shredded Mexican cheese.

    Place a crunchy tostada on top and spread a layer of plain Greek Yogurt. You can also use sour cream too.

    Hand holding crunchwrap open.

    Then add shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and some smashed avocado. The avocado acts like a glue to hold the tortilla down, but I also tested a few without avocado and the crunchwrap still held together.

    Folding the Crunch Wrap

    This can be the intimidating part, but it's really not that difficult!

    Start by folding up a small edge, while using your other hand to keep the filling in the center and creating a tight fold.

    Then keep folding up edges till it's completely wrapped.

    Cooking the Crunch Wrap Supreme

    In a preheated skillet with a little oil, place the crunch wrap in the skillet seam side down. You'll have to hold it tight so it doesn't fall apart when transferring it to the skillet.

    Crunchwrap cut in half and layered on top of each other on a plate.

    Allow it to crisp for about 3 minutes, then flip it over and cook the other side for 3 minutes or until you get a nice golden crust.

    Prep Time 25 mins
    Cook Time 6 mins
    Servings 1

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tbsp Oil for cooking the crunchwrap
    • 1 Burrito Size Flour Tortilla
    • 1 Crunchy Tostada
    • 2 Tbsp Refried Beans Canned or Homemade
    • ¼ cup Seasoned Ground Beef with Tomato Sauce Spice mix listed below
    • 2 tablespoon Finely Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
    • Hot Sauce optional
    • 2 tablespoon Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
    • ¼ cup Shredded lettuce
    • 2 tablespoon Chopped Tomatoes
    • 1-2 tablespoon Smashed Avocado

    Seasoning blend for 1 lb of Ground Beef

    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
    • 1 tablespoon Cumin
    • ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
    • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
    • 1 Roma tomato Blended with a tablespoon of water or Use ¼ cup canned tomato sauce.

    Instructions
     

    Ground Beef

    • In a skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef and season with salt and spices. Once it's almost cooked through, add the tomato sauce. Cook a few more minutes till it's absorbed and set aside. I use a lean ground beef and don't drain the fat.

    Filling

    • Slice iceberg lettuce, chop tomatoes, and smash an avocado.
    • If using homemade refried beans, see my recipe below.

    Assembly

    • Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito size flour tortilla on a cutting board and have the tostada next to you to use as a size reference.
    • Place a layer of refried beans, ground beef, hot sauce, and shredded cheese. Then top with the tostada, a layer of Greek yogurt, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and a few spoons of smashed avocado (this will act as a 'glue' to hold it together). It will still hold together without avocado.
    • Start folding the sides over to meet in the middle, while keeping a tight hold. Place the crunchwrap seam side down into the preheated skillet. Don't move it, and allow to crisp up for about 3 minutes. Then flip it over and allow the other side to cook for 3 minutes.
