Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme is a large flour tortilla folded around seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, a crisp tostada shell, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes, then grilled. This copy makes four in 35 minutes. The one trick is a small round of tortilla laid over the filling, which closes the gap that a 10-inch tortilla leaves in the middle.

Crunchwrap Supreme ingredients, from Taco Bell's own page

Taco Bell describes it as a warm flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, warm nacho cheese sauce, a crispy tostada shell, lettuce, diced tomatoes and reduced-fat sour cream, folded into the Crunchwrap form and grilled. Shredded cheese is not part of it; the page offers a three-cheese blend as an add-on.

Taco Bell's nutrition table, updated on 30 September 2026, gives one Crunchwrap Supreme 530 calories and 15 grams of protein. This recipe is a reconstruction from the description and comes to about 650 calories by USDA figures, more than the original. MakeFoodLovely is not connected with Taco Bell.

Ingredients

• For the beef:
• 8 ounces ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• For the Crunchwraps:
• 5 burrito-size flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce (warmed)
• 2 ounces tostada shells (4 shells)
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1 1/3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup diced fresh tomato
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it up finely. Pour off the fat, add the taco seasoning and the water and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until saucy.
2. Cut 4 rounds about 4 inches across from one of the tortillas, using a small bowl as a guide.
3. Warm the other 4 tortillas in a dry skillet for 15 seconds a side so that they fold without cracking, and lay them on the counter.
4. In the middle of each tortilla, spread a quarter of the beef in a circle the size of a tostada. Spoon 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce over it and press a tostada on top.
5. Spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream over each tostada, add 1/3 cup of lettuce and 1/4 cup of tomato, and cover with a small tortilla round.
6. Fold the edge of the large tortilla up and over the middle, pleating as you go around, 5 or 6 folds in all. Hold the folds down.
7. Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Set 2 Crunchwraps in it seam side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and sealed. Turn them and cook for 2 minutes more. Repeat with the rest.

The order of the layers

Beef and cheese sauce go under the tostada, where they stay hot against the pan. Sour cream, lettuce and tomato go on top of it, so that the tostada keeps the cold layer away from the heat and from the sauce. Built the other way round, the lettuce wilts and the tostada softens before the tortilla has browned.

Folding a Crunchwrap with a 10-inch tortilla

A burrito-size tortilla from the supermarket measures about 10 inches. Folded over a 5-inch tostada, its edge does not reach the middle. The small tortilla round covers that gap from the inside. Then:

• Warm tortillas fold; cold ones crack.
• Fold in one direction, each pleat overlapping the last.
• Put the folded side into the pan first. The heat sets the pleats, and after two minutes the Crunchwrap holds together on its own.

Seasoned beef, nacho cheese, tostadas

The beef is the one in this site's other Taco Bell copies, the Taco Bell Stacker among them. A packet seasoning works in the amount given. This site's Taco Bell seasoning is milder by volume: use 2 tablespoons of it and 1/3 cup of water for the 8 ounces of beef.

Nacho cheese sauce comes from a jar or from the Taco Bell cheese sauce copy. Tostada shells are flat, crisp corn tortillas; a single layer of sturdy tortilla chips replaces a broken one.

Crunchwrap Supreme and Burrito Supreme are two things

The Burrito Supreme is a different item. Taco Bell describes it as a flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, refried beans, diced tomatoes and onions, lettuce, red sauce, reduced-fat sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. The nutrition table lists the beef version at 390 calories.

With the ingredients above it is a short step. Leave out the tostada and the nacho cheese. Spread 1/4 cup of warm refried beans down the middle of a tortilla, add the beef, a spoonful of a red sauce such as the Taco Bell sauce copy, chopped onion, tomato, lettuce, sour cream and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar, and roll it up.

What can be made ahead

The beef keeps three days in the refrigerator. Assembled Crunchwraps do not keep: the lettuce wilts and the tostada softens within the hour. For a group, set out the parts and grill the Crunchwraps two at a time.

Another large Taco Bell order built from the same beef is the Superman burrito.
