Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • Taco seasoning (blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika)
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (Velveeta-style or homemade)
  • Crunchy tostadas (5-6 inches)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • Vegetable oil (for pan-frying)
  • Optional extras: sliced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, guacamole

Instructions

  1. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef for 6–8 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning with 1/4 cup water and simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Lay out large flour tortillas and crunchy tostadas. Warm tortillas briefly if desired to make pliable.
  4. Place one tortilla flat, spread 3 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce in center.
  5. Add 1/3 cup seasoned beef over cheese, then place a crunchy tostada on top.
  6. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream on tostada. Add optional extras if using.
  7. Fold edges of tortilla up and around filling, pleating to form a circular package without tearing.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat. Place folded crunchwrap seam side down and press gently.
  9. Cook 3–4 minutes until bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook other side for 3–4 minutes.
  10. Remove from pan and let rest for a minute before slicing in half to serve.

Notes

Warm tortillas briefly before folding to prevent cracking. Use just enough oil to crisp without greasiness. Press gently when cooking to ensure even crust. Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Place crunchy tostada in the middle to keep it crisp. Lower heat if tortilla browns too fast before cheese melts.
