Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (or more to taste)
• 4 large (12-inch) flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup nacho cheese sauce
• 4 tostada shells
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (or more if desired) to the beef and mix well. Add a little water if needed to help distribute the seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3. Warm the nacho cheese sauce.
4. To assemble each Crunchwrap, lay out a large flour tortilla and spread a layer of seasoned beef in the center, leaving about 2 inches around the edge.
5. Top the beef with a layer of nacho cheese sauce.
6. Place a tostada shell on top of the nacho cheese.
7. Spread a layer of sour cream over the tostada shell.
8. Add fresh baby spinach and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sour cream.
9. To fold, start with the bottom of the tortilla and fold the edge up and over the center. Continue folding in a clockwise direction until the filling is completely enclosed.
10. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
11. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
12. Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve.
