This is a meal to indulge in every once in a while! Our recipe has about 635 calories, per crunchwrap. If you want to make this meal healthier, you would want to remove the tortillas, tostada shell, and nacho cheese (all the good stuff!) and have a salad bowl instead.
Budget Tip
We buy our ground beef in bulk at Costco and then separate it into one-pound sections. We place the divided sections into freezer bags to pull out one pound of beef at a time when we need it.
Get Kids Involved
Ages 2-3: Give your child one or two of the toppings to help add on the layers as you assemble the crunch wrap. This might include sprinkling the cheese or lettuce on top of the nacho cheese sauce. Ages 4-5: Ask your child to help with adding some of the toppings as you assemble the crunch wrap. Ages 6-8: Teach your child to use a meat masher to brown the ground beef. They can then help spoon the meat mixture on top of the tortillas. Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe. Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe, unsupervised, while you do the happy dance in the corner!

Awesome recipe! I wasn’t sure if I could do it ha. But one 8th grader was excited for me to try it…after he saw a tiktok video about the supercrunch!
I drained diced tomatoes & also mild chunky salsa from aldi…Aldi… everyone likes tomatoes! With the help of the college aged sister….we set out to see if we make these little beauties!
Yes all the way! My other half raved about what we made all evening, 8th grade boy choked down two…ha!

We couldn’t LOVE this comment and review anymore!! Thank you so much for letting us know how much you all enjoyed it and that your whole family was involved in the process!
Urs Rogers says
I just made these copycat crunchwraps @ home, did it like an assembly line, 1st ingredient I added to the middle of the large tortilla was refried black beans, cooked 1 @ a time in the pan, came out great! We are retired and trying to eat out not as frequently these days due to inflation – everything has gone up in price. Next time I make these, I will use either turkey taco meat or chicken taco meat (since I have some in the freezer) and lower fat sour cream to make them even healthier. I have one extra crunchwrap for lunch tomorrow, will top w/a little sour cream & salsa.
Jess Jankowski says
We love this so much! So happy you are making some adjustments that work for you. I will definitely try them with turkey taco meat next time!
Viki Wickstrom says
Hello. Can I leave the nacho cheese out? It’s very spicy for me and I’m not used to spicy foods and it sometimes upsets my stomach and gives me heartburn. Ty.
Jess Jankowski says
Absolutely! It will alter the overall taste but it will still be good!
Angela N says
