Notes
Can I change up the recipe?
Of course! There are a lot of ways to adjust this recipe. Cooking with ingredients is what home cooking is all about!
For a lower-calorie alternative to ground beef, substitute ground chicken or ground turkey. If you're a fan of pork or like it a little spicy, you can use chorizo, but be aware that you may need to adjust the seasonings. If you're not a fan of meat, "impossible crumbles", tofu, or refried beans can be used as your base.
For a little extra flavor, try using Doritos instead of a tostada for your crunch layer; we promise you won't regret it. You can also incorporate other cheeses, like Queso fresco, Cotija, or Pepper Jack, to add a little spice to the meal.
If you really enjoy heat, try adding some pickled jalapeños to the crunch wrap.
We use sour cream as a layer in this recipe, but if you are looking for a lighter option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
Do I need to use extra-large tortillas?
No. We have had luck finding XL tortillas, but not every store carries them. You can use a smaller tortilla, but you may need to cut it down a bit to make everything fit.
Do I need to make my own nacho cheese sauce?
No. We like the fresh option, but your local grocery store has many jarred options to make this an even easier meal.
Do I need to use a tostada for crunch?
No. We have used some of our favorite Doritos to add the crunch, or even tortilla chips for our crunchy layer. It will still be delicious.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days, but be aware that they don’t store very well. They will be best when made, as the lettuce will wilt and the tortilla can harden. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350-degree oven for 10 – 12 minutes until heated.
I wouldn’t suggest freezing these; you won’t be happy with the results.
