How To Make This Taco Bell Crunchwrap Copycat Recipe
This recipe is easy to follow and can be prepared in just a few minutes. For a visual demonstration, check out the video in the recipe card below.
Prepare Taco Meat:
- Brown ground beef over medium-high heat with chopped onion and garlic. Drain excess grease.
- Mix the taco seasoning with water and add to the cooked ground meat. Stir until combined.
Fill Tortilla Shell:
- Place ½ cup of taco meat in the center of a large tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Place Doritos in a circle around the taco meat, or place a tostada if you have one.
- Spread sour cream and salsa on top if desired.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, and diced bell pepper.
- Add any other optional ingredients you like, such as black beans or diced avocado.
Fold Up The Tortilla Shell:
- Place a small tortilla shell over the filling ingredients in the center of each tortilla and press it down to flatten the ingredients a bit.
- Fold the edge of the left side of the large tortilla over the filling, then the top, the top right, bottom, bottom right, and then the right side. You should now have a hexagon-shaped tortilla with your fillings inside.
Cooking The Crunch Wrap:
- Skillet Method: Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the crunch wrap seam side down onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until browned on one side. Flip it over and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Spray the basket with olive oil or avocado oil and place the crunchwrap seam-side down. Spray the top with avocado oil and air fry for 3 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Serve Homemade Crunch Wraps:
- Repeat with your remaining homemade crunch wraps until you've made as many as you need.
- Carefully cut them in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately with salsa or guacamole for dipping.
What to Serve with a Taco Bell Crunchwrap
Serve with hot sauce (like my Jalapeno Hot Sauce), Homemade Chunky Salsa, Pico de Gallo, or Canned Salsa. Some other delicious sides are Mango Habanero Salsa, Peach Pico de Gallo, Smashburger Sauce, and Avocado Lime Crema.
Substitutions
- Onion + garlic. Use any kind of onion, onion powder, dried onion, garlic powder, or dried garlic.
- Ground beef. Instead of beef, use ground venison, chicken, or ground turkey.
- Taco seasoning. Use the Taco Bell Taco Seasoning Mix packet from the Taco Bell box, your favorite taco seasoning, or homemade taco seasoning.
- Large and small flour tortillas. Use homemade Flat Bread With No Yeast, store-bought large flour tortillas, or corn tortillas. You can also use a small plate as a template and cut smaller tortilla shells out of large tortilla shells.
- Doritos. I used Doritos in the Nacho Cheese flavor. You can also use crunchy tostada shells, tortilla chips, or hard taco shells, such as crispy corn tortillas.
- Cheddar cheese. Use a Mexican cheese blend instead, or homemade cheese sauce like my Salsa Con Queso or Smoked Queso.
- More toppings: Avocado, spinach, black beans, refried beans.
Storage
Store the ingredients (taco meat, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sour cream, salsa) separately in the fridge in an airtight container, and reassemble when ready. It will keep for 2-3 days.
You can freeze the leftover taco meat in a Ziploc bag or airtight container for up to 2 months.
Jeri's Helpful Tips
- Spray the air fryer basket or skillet to prevent sticking when browning the crunchwrap.
- Don't overstuff it or it won't hold together.
- Break the Doritos so they don't poke through the tortilla shell.
