Introduction: Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme - Copycat Recipe

By tomatoskins
About: My name is Troy. I'm a Mechatronics and Aerospace Engineer. I make things out of wood and electronics and spend time outdoors (especially SCUBA diving).

As a college student, fast food is my Achilles heel. When I'm cramming for a test or staying up all night writing a research paper, Taco Bell has been one of my best friends. Wanting to start saving money and eat healthier, this Crunchwrap Supreme copycat recipe was born.

Step 1: Cook Ground Beef

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 3/4 Cup Water
  • 1-1/2 Teaspoons Seasoned Salt
  • 1-1/2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • 1-1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:

  1. Brown meat in a large skillet on medium heat, drain fat
  2. Add 3/4 cup water
  3. Mix in seasonings
  4. Bring to boil for 5 minutes stirring occasionally
  5. Reduce heat

Step 2: Prep Ingredients

For the copycat recipe you will need the following:

  • Ground Beef (see previous step)
  • Queso (nacho cheese sauce)
  • Shredded Cheese

Step 3: Tortillas and Tostadas

For the Crunchwrap Supreme, you will need to purchase or make the largest flour tortillas possible.

You can purchase or make your own tostada shells. To make your own, brush both sides of a corn tortilla with vegetable oil, bake on a cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes at 400°F.

Step 4: Tortilla

Warm the tortilla in a skillet.

Step 5: Ground Beef

Add ground beef.

Starting on one edge, slowly fold the edges around to the center.

Throughout the previous steps, you will have successfully heated the bottom side of the Crunchwrap.

Flip Crunchwrap and brown the top.

Step 13: Enjoy!
