Key Ingredients for Homemade Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme

• 1 medium tomato, diced
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (optional)
• Cooking oil (for grilling)

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Assemble the Crunchwrap: Lay down a large tortilla on a flat surface. Start with a layer of meat in the center. Top with a small crispy taco shell (yes, this creates that delightful crunch!) followed by cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. If desired, drizzle nacho cheese sauce on top.

Top Tips for Perfecting Homemade Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme

• Ingredient Substitutions: For a healthier twist, feel free to substitute ground turkey or a plant-based protein instead of beef.

• Avoid Sogginess: Try not to overfill the Crunchwrap to keep it from becoming soggy. A little goes a long way!

Storing and Reheating Tips
