Ingredients
Method
- Combine the ground beef and taco seasoning in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly using your hands or a mixer.
- Cook the seasoned beef and water in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains, breaking the meat into very small, smooth pieces with a potato masher or meat chopper.
- Lay a large burrito shell on a clean surface, spread 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce in the center, and top with a quarter of the beef, ensuring the layers are spread evenly.
- Place a tostada shell directly on top of the ground beef layer.
- Layer a quarter of the lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream over the tostada, then cover with a street taco shell.
- Fold the edges of the large tortilla tightly over the center to create pleats, then flip the Crunchwrap so the seams face downward.
- Arrange the Crunchwraps in a single layer in the air fryer with the seam side down and spray the tops with oil.
- Air fry at 400°F for 5-7 minutes until browned, then flip, spray with oil, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side reaches your desired level of crispness.
- Serve hot with your preferred side dishes.

Notes
- To cook the ground beef in the air fryer (if you don’t have a stove to use), season it, spread it relatively evenly, and cook for 8-10 minutes at 400°F, until cooked through. Break it up well after cooking, and add a small amount of water to achieve the right consistency. The stove version comes out better in my opinion, but this works fine if that’s not an option for you!
- Note that your lettuce is going to be soggier than it is at the restaurant. To get that nice crunch, we’re heating it longer than the quick press it gets usually, so it’s unavoidable. You can stuff a little extra in after cooking by cutting the Crunchwrap in half if it bothers you (but you won’t be able to unwrap the wrap)
- You can substitute other meats instead of ground beef, such as ground turkey or chicken, or use a vegetarian meat substitute if preferred (like Morningstar chorizo crumbles)
- You can adjust the ratio of toppings, swap the veggies, or omit things you don’t like – that’s the beauty of making your own! However, I’ve included the classic Taco Bell recipe options here
- Crunchwraps are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
- To reheat a Crunchwrap in the air fryer, air fry at 400°F for about 5-7 minutes, until warmed through and re-crisped
