Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups cheese blend, shredded
Vegetables and Fillings:
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 4 tostadas or 2 cups tortilla chips
- 5 large tortillas
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅔ cup nacho cheese sauce
- ⅔ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Fire up the air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C), preparing for a crispy culinary adventure.
- In a skillet, transform ground beef into a savory mixture by browning thoroughly, then eliminate excess grease. Splash in water and taco seasoning, allowing the meat to simmer and absorb robust flavors for 5 minutes.
- Strategically slice one tortilla into four triangular segments, creating a structural support piece for the ultimate wrap.
- Warm the remaining tortillas briefly in the microwave, increasing their flexibility and preventing potential cracking during assembly.
- Construct the wrap by centering seasoned beef on each tortilla, then artfully layer nacho cheese sauce, a crisp tostada shell (or crunchy tortilla chips), creamy sour cream, fresh shredded lettuce, vibrant diced tomatoes, and melty shredded cheese.
- Position the quartered tortilla piece atop the mountain of ingredients, then carefully fold the larger tortilla’s edges, creating a secure, compact parcel.
- Lightly brush the exterior with vegetable oil, enhancing the potential for golden, crispy perfection.
- Arrange the wrapped delights seam-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring minimal contact between parcels.
- Crisp the first side for 3-4 minutes until achieving a beautiful golden-brown hue, then flip and repeat the process, transforming both sides into a crunchy masterpiece.
- Serve immediately, presenting a mouthwatering Air Fryer Crunchwrap Supreme bursting with textures and flavors.
Notes
- Prep ahead by browning beef and having all ingredients ready to speed up assembly.
- Warm tortillas briefly in microwave to prevent cracking and make folding easier.
- Use quartered tortilla as a barrier to keep inner ingredients from getting soggy.
- Brush exterior with oil for maximum crispiness and golden-brown color.
- Place wraps seam-side down to ensure secure seal during air frying.
- Flip halfway through cooking to achieve even, crispy texture on both sides.
