Cuisine American
- 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
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
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.
