Ingredients
Scale
Base & Shells:
- 10-inch burrito-size flour tortillas
- Tostada shells (store-bought or homemade)
Protein & Sauces:
- 1 batch vegan taco meat
- 1 batch vegan nacho cheese sauce
- Vegan sour cream (store-bought or homemade)
Fresh Toppings:
- Guacamole
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- Salsa of choice
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- Cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Arrange the flour tortilla on a clean work surface and prepare tortilla patches by cutting an extra tortilla into four triangular segments.
- Generously spread nacho cheese sauce in the center of the tortilla, leaving a border around the edges, then layer vegan taco meat directly on top of the sauce.
- Take a tostada shell and spread vegan sour cream on one side, then place it cream-side up over the taco meat layer.
- Distribute fresh toppings including diced tomatoes, salsa, shredded lettuce, creamy guacamole, and chopped cilantro across the tostada shell. Position a tortilla wedge strategically to help maintain structural integrity.
- Create a secure hexagonal wrap by carefully folding the tortilla edges inward, pressing down firmly to seal the edges. If tortillas seem dry, briefly microwave with a damp paper towel to enhance flexibility.
- Heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium heat (around 350°F). Carefully place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until achieving a golden-brown, crispy exterior. Flip and repeat on the opposite side, ensuring even browning and heating throughout.
Notes
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking during folding.
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure even browning and prevent sticking, reducing the need for excess oil.
- Customize toppings for dietary needs by swapping proteins or using gluten-free tortillas for a more inclusive meal option.
- Press down firmly when folding to create a tight seal that prevents ingredients from spilling out during cooking.
