Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet of your favorite taco seasoning
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • Cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions. Mix well and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Set aside.
  2. Lay out the flour tortillas. In the center of each tortilla, place a generous spoonful of the seasoned ground beef.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
  4. Add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomato on top of the cheese.
  5. Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a hexagon shape with the filling enclosed.
  6. In a clean skillet, heat a drizzle of cooking oil over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla, seam side down, and cook until it’s golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  7. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

Notes

Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as sautéed bell peppers, onions, or even black beans. For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a bit of your favorite hot sauce on top of the filling before folding the tortilla. Serve your crunchwrap quesadilla with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for an added zing.

Chef’s tip: Make sure to use a cast-iron skillet or a griddle for optimal crispiness and don’t overstuff the tortilla to ensure easy folding and cooking.
