This homemade beef crunchwrap is so easy, you will never go back to your favorite fast food restaurant! The meaty cheesy goodness makes for a tasty treat you will want as a snack, lunch, dinner or all three! Make a homemade taco sauce to go with it and you have the perfect weeknight meal.
Step 1: Chop up the veggies.
This beef crunchwrap recipe only takes a few minutes to make and once it hits the grill, you need to move fast. Having all the ingredients ready is important.
To start, make sure all your ingredients are ready. Chop up some iceberg lettuce, dice up the tomatoes and a jalapeno.
Step 2: Make a homemade taco sauce.
While I think packaged sauces are great for convenience, this homemade taco sauce is so quick and easy to make, it should be a staple in your fridge.
In a sauce pan add tomato sauce, white vinegar, water and Dad’s Taco seasoning. Place it over low heat and let it simmer. Whisk occasionally,
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 3: Grill the beef.
For this recipe I went with a beef crunchwrap. If you prefer chicken, I have the perfect recipe for you.
Start by preheating the griddle to high heat and add some olive oil to the flat top. If you do not have a griddle, any flat top or stove top will work.
Place the entire brick of beef on the hot surface and press down which will build a nice crust on the outside. Season the top with Dad’s Taco seasoning for flavor and flip once you see a nice brown crust below. Repeat the process on the other side. As it browns, start to crumble the beef separating it into smaller pieces. Add in the chopped jalapenos and continue cooking. Now it’s time for some cheesy goodness! Add shredded mozzarella and cheese cheese on top of your beef and mix it in as it melts.
Step 4: Assemble the beef crunchwrap
Time to assemble! First, warm up your burrito tortilla.
Recipe Tip
Use Flour Sonoran Style tortilla’s if you can get you hands on some!
Layer on shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese followed with your cheesy ground beef and homemade taco sauce. Next, cover it all with a crunchy tostada and add a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes and some Mexican crema. Finally, cover it all with a flour taco tortilla and wrap it all up with the edges of the burrito tortilla.
Take the fully assembled beef crunchwrap back on the griddle with the seam down for it to seal. After 1-2 minutes, flip it over for the final crunch on the top.
Finally, remove it off the griddle, slice it open and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use chicken instead of beef? Yes, beef can be replaced with chicken. Chicken is leaner than beef. Cut it up into bite size cubes before it hits the grill. Remove the meat at 160 degrees and let it rest. This will ensure a tender and juicy chicken breast.
Can I make this in the oven stove top? All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes.
