Are you ready to elevate your crunch wrap game with a symphony of flavors and textures? These gourmet cheeseburger crunch wraps are a culinary masterpiece that combines the crunch of a tostada shell, the savory goodness of seasoned ground beef, and the freshness of tomatoes, lettuce, and pickled onions. Drizzled with our signature house sauce and oozing with melted reduced-fat cheddar cheese, each bite is a journey into cheeseburger paradise.
Ingredients needed:
4 tortilla wraps
Cooking spray
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
Table salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Mustard
1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tomato, diced
8 dill gherkins, finely chopped
1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
How To Make:
Step 1: Toasting the Tostada Shell
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place one tortilla wrap on a cutting board and spray both sides with cooking spray.
Cut the tortilla wrap into quarters.
Arrange the quarters in the pan and cook until toasted and crisp, about 1 minute per side.
Cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Preparing the Cheesy Beef Filling
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Spray the pan with cooking spray and add ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
Cook, stirring to crumble the beef, until cooked through and the onion is tender (approximately 5 minutes).
Cool the mixture slightly.
Step 3: Assembling the Crunch Wrap
Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Place one tortilla wrap on a cutting board and spray the top with cooking spray.
Flip the tortilla over, so the sprayed side is down.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over the center of the tortilla.
Spoon about ½ cup of the beef mixture in the center of the wrap, leaving a 1½-inch border.
Layer with ¼ cup cheese, ¼ cup tomato, 2 teaspoons pickles, and ¼ cup lettuce.
Place one toasted tortilla quarter on top.
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling toward the center, creating pleats to cover the toasted tortilla quarter.
Press gently to fold the pleats.
Carefully flip the wrap over and place it in the heated skillet.
Cook until toasted and crisp, pressing occasionally with a spatula, about 2 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining tortilla wraps, beef mixture, cheese, tomato, pickles, and lettuce to form 4 crunch wraps in total.
Step 4: Serving and Enjoying
Serve these gourmet cheeseburger crunch wraps hot, and watch as your taste buds dance with delight. These wraps are perfect for sharing with friends and family on game night or as a crowd-pleasing appetizer at your next gathering.
How to Fold a Crunch Wrap
Lay a 10-inch tortilla down and place the burger patty on the bottom with all the other ingredients on top.
Fold one side of the tortilla over and then keep folding the other sides over each other.
Place the wrap folded side down in the skillet or air fryer and cook for a couple of minutes to seal the tortilla.
Flip over to brown the other side.
