Servings and Timing
This recipe typically makes 4 crunchwraps.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10–12 minutes
Total time: Approximately 25–30 minutes
Variations
I sometimes use ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. If I want extra spice, I add jalapeños or hot sauce inside.
For a breakfast version, I swap the beef for scrambled eggs and sausage. I also enjoy adding guacamole for extra richness.
storage/reheating
I store leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When reheating, I prefer using a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crisp texture. I avoid microwaving for too long since it can make the tortilla soft.
