Crunchy Taco Wrap

Bring fast food home by making a homemade Crunchy Taco Wrap. An easy to eat crispy taco wrapped in a soft shell and browned in a stove-top skillet.

What is a Crunch Taco Wrap?

A Crunchy Taco Wrap is a large soft shell taco, with a layer of taco meat, nacho cheese sauce, a crispy corn tostada, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.

The magic happens when you fold in the edges of the soft shell taco to make a large hand-held envelop of taco supreme yumminess.

It’s all about the folds

To wrap a Crunchy Taco, start with the large soft taco shell on the bottom and fold it up to the middle. Work all the way around folding all the way. Once it’s folded, place it face down on a large plate or cutting board and press down with your hand. It’s OK if you hear the tostada crunch. Continue making and folding the Taco until you have all of the made.

Reheating a Crunch Taco Wrap

While these are best to eat right after they are made, you can reheat them.

Simply wrap one in aluminum foil and place it in a 350° oven for 15-20 minutes.

Never microwave a taco wrap because it will just get soggy.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tip:

Try to buy the largest soft taco shells that you can find.

The 10-inch size is good but the 12-inch size is the best. I had to go to several stores before I found the 12-inch size and I found them at Target.

Trust me on this one because I tried to make these with smaller shells and they just tore.
