Well, the day has come. We’re not reinventing the wheel here. But, it is safe to say this is one of the absolute BEST dinners I have made this summer. More than a few lucky taste-testers happen to agree!

• In a large skillet set to medium-high, add 1 Tbsp. oil.
• Once hot, add ground meat and taco seasoning. Crumble meat as it cooks, 3-5 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds, until warm and soft.
• Pour nacho cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, until warm.

• Fold tortilla edges up and over the center. Work all the way around, folding tightly.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the same skillet. Once hot, add wrap seam-side down. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook wrap about 1-2 minutes more.

• Depending how much ground meat and filling you have leftover, this recipe makes 4 to 6 crunchwraps.
• You can use 10-inch tortillas instead of 12-inch tortillas. Just be aware, the wrap won’t close completely – this is fine. Close tortilla as tightly as you can over the shredded cheese layer and pan fry cheese-side down first. The fried cheese will seal the tortilla!
• I got the crunchy tostada shells at Wal-Mart, not my local grocery store. Hot tip, if you’re having trouble finding them!
