## How to Make Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme
Creating your Crunchwrap Supreme involves three main stages: preparing the beef, assembling the ingredients, and cooking the wrap.
## Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 6 large flour tortillas
– 4 small corn tostadas
– 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup shredded cheese
– Cooking spray or olive oil
## Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is brown. Drain any excessive fat and stir in the taco seasoning by following the instructions on its packet.
2. Lay a flour tortilla flat and layer the center with the cooked beef, a tostada shell, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
3. Fold the tortilla’s edges over the center, making pleats until the filling is completely enclosed.
4. Use cooking spray or lightly coat a skillet with olive oil and heat it over a medium setting. Cook the wrap seam-side down on the skillet for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip it and cook the other side for the same amount of time.
