We took a fast-food favorite and made it way (way!) bigger. And since it's stuffed with delicious layers of beef, cheese, crunch and sour cream, you'll be glad it's large enough to share.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
One 1-ounce package taco seasoning
1 cup jarred cheese sauce
Seven 12-inch flour tortillas
4 tostada rounds
1 cup sour cream
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 plum tomato, diced
Canola oil, for brushing
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to the package instructions on the taco seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cheese sauce in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warm and pourable.
  • On a work surface, lay out 5 flour tortillas in a circle, overlapping slightly. Add a tortilla to the middle, on top of the others. Spread the ground beef evenly over the center tortilla. Pour the cheese onto the beef (it's okay if it's not completely covered). Cover the cheese with a layer of 4 tostada rounds. Press them down, breaking them a little, to make a flat layer. Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the tostadas. Sprinkle the lettuce over the top of the sour cream, then sprinkle with the tomatoes. Add the final tortilla over the tomato. Fold the sides of the tortillas up and over to wrap around the layers. The top should be covered in overlapping folds. Press the wrap down so that it is even and not domed. Brush the top with canola oil.
  • Remove the rimmed baking sheet from the oven. Brush the baking sheet with canola oil, then carefully transfer the wrap to the baking sheet meat-side down. Bake immediately until the top is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Invert the crunch wrap onto a serving platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with hot sauce if using.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Four 12-inch flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 cups prepared Mexican rice
12 slices cooked bacon
1 cup pico de gallo
Four 4.5-inch fried corn tortillas (see Cook's Notes)
1 cup sour cream
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 cup store-bought or homemade salsa, recipe follows
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup oil
5 Roma tomatoes, halved
4 garlic cloves
3 chipotle chiles
1 small jalapeno
1 small Spanish onion, quartered
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • On a griddle over medium heat, lightly toast the flour tortillas for 10 seconds on each side.
  • Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Put 1/2 cup shredded cheese into the center of one and spread slightly. Top the cheese with 1/2 cup Mexican rice and spread slightly. Crumble 3 slices of bacon on top of the rice. Spread 1/4 cup of the pico de gallo over the top. Place a fried tortilla, broken up into pieces, over the pico, then add 1/4 cup sour cream. Layer one-quarter of the avocado slices onto the stack. Top with some salsa. Wrap the flour tortilla around the stack in 5 upward folds. Repeat this process to make 4 wraps.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat until melted. Place a wrap seam-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gently flip the wrap over and cook for 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining butter and wraps. Cut the wraps in half and serve with more salsa.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss together the oil, tomatoes, garlic, chipotles, jalapeno and onions in a large bowl. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the vegetables turn dark brown with a few black burnt spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a food processor or blender, add the lemon juice, salt and sugar and let cool slightly. Puree until a homogeneous salsa forms.
