Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
Tortillas and Shells:
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 4 street taco-size tortillas
- 4 tostada shells
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) taco seasoning (1 ounce packet)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) water
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 ½ cups (180 grams) shredded lettuce
- 1 cup (150 grams) chopped tomatoes
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the meat filling by sautéing ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat and incorporate taco seasoning, stirring to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Arrange burrito-sized tortillas on a clean work surface, creating a foundation for the wrap assembly. Distribute the seasoned beef mixture centrally on each tortilla, establishing the core of the wrap.
- Position a crispy tostada shell directly atop the beef layer, creating a textural base for additional ingredients. Generously spread nacho cheese sauce over the tostada shell, ensuring complete coverage.
- Apply a creamy layer of sour cream across the nacho cheese, then scatter fresh, crisp lettuce and juicy diced tomatoes for vibrant color and added freshness.
- Crown each wrap with a smaller street taco tortilla, strategically placed to contain the internal ingredients. Carefully fold the edges of the larger tortilla, enveloping the fillings in a secure package.
- Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat to medium temperature. Carefully place wraps seam-side down, applying gentle pressure with a spatula to ensure even browning. Grill each side until a golden, crispy exterior develops, approximately 3 minutes per side.
- Allow wraps to rest briefly before slicing, enabling the ingredients to settle and the exterior to maintain its crisp texture. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Crafting this wrap transforms ordinary taco ingredients into a delightful, crispy meal that surprises taste buds with unexpected textures.
- Layering tostada shells inside soft tortillas creates a secret crunch zone that elevates the entire eating experience.
- Pressing the wrap during cooking ensures golden-brown edges and helps seal all those mouthwatering ingredients inside a perfectly compact package.
