Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 4 small tostada shells or substitute small corn tortillas
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced pickles
  • ½ cup finely diced onions
  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing or Big Mac-style special sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the beef patties

  • Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Divide it into four equal portions and shape each into a thin, round patty.
  • Cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Lay out your tortilla base

  • Place a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. In the center, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing. Add one cooked beef patty on top.

Layer the toppings

  • On top of the patty, add a slice of American cheese, a small handful of shredded lettuce, some diced pickles, and a sprinkle of onions.
  • Place a tostada shell (or small corn tortilla) over the toppings to create a sturdy base for folding.

Fold the Crunchwrap

  • Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the tostada shell, working your way around to create pleats.
  • Keep folding until the tortilla completely wraps the filling. If needed, place a small piece of an extra tortilla in the center to seal any gaps.

Cook the Crunchwrap

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little vegetable oil and place the folded side of the Crunchwrap face down in the skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining Crunchwraps.

Serve and enjoy

  • Cut the Crunchwrap in half for easy serving, and enjoy the melty, crunchy goodness!
