crunch wrap supreme

Ever since watching "Super Size Me" in my 7th grade Home Economics class I've been pretty anti-fast food. The idea of consuming food, especially meats, that contained that many preservatives just didn't sit well with me. That can't be natural for us to be fueling our bodies with such genetically engineered ingredients. Of course, at the time Taco Bells Crunch Wrap Supremes were all the rage and I definitely may have broken my rule a few times to consume in its deliciousness. But now, I have a guilt-free version that contains all the flavor without the questionable meat!

Crunch Wrap Supreme:

large flour tortillas (burrito style)
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (mccormicks)
sour cream
nacho cheese or shredded cheese
corn tostada shells or tortilla chips
tomatoes
lettuce

Directions:

Cook beef according to taco packet instructions.

Spread choice of cheese around center of your first large tortilla(recipe should make around 6 wraps) and top with cooked ground beef covering no larger than the shape of the tostada shell. Layer with tostada, then sour cream, shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes.

Fold up soft tortilla toward center and continue all the way around until completely folded over in the shape of a hexagon(just like Taco Bells version).

Place folded side down of wrap down onto lightly greased non-stick pan. Press with spatula and cook until nice and brown, then continuing with opposite side(1-2 minutes) until finished. Serve with store bought Taco Bell Hot Sauce or your own favorite version!

Tip: For a faster alternative use a panini press! (PS. totally one of my favorite appliances).
