Directions
In a hot pan, cook the garlic until it just turns brown. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain fat from pan.

To the beef, add tomato paste, water, Sazon, and Mrs. Dash. Mix until combined, reduce heat to low, and cover.

Place one of the tortillas in another pan. Flip when heated through.

To the face-up side, add one quarter of the beef mixture making sure to leave a 2" border of the tortilla with no beef. Top with one tablespoon of the salsa.

Spread 1 tablespoon of the sour cream on one side of a tostada shell. Place the tostada shell, sour cream side facing down, on top of the beef mixture.

Gently wrap the edge of the tortilla around the tostada until it makes a secure pocket.

Flip the assembled tortilla and brown the folded side to secure it together.

Repeat this for all 4 servings. One tortilla "crunchwrap" per serving.

     Where is the shredded lettuce? Where is the freshly chopped tomato? To me it can't be a crunchwrap without these two healthy ingredients. I understand the not including cheese in the recipe but why skip the fresh veggies? - 11/10/09

    In my blog, I explain that I forgot to buy lettuce, which is why I left it out. If you decide to add it, there will be a negligible change in nutritional value. I also do not like tomatoes which is why I used salsa instead. It's very simple to cater this to your own likes and dislikes! :)

     Besides adding lettuce and tomato, I think I'd use ground turkey and add chili powder and cumin instead of the sazon. That way you reduce the calories and the sodium. - 11/16/09

     Excellent work on recreating this recipe! I've been craving taco bell but have been staying away from fast food. Now I don't have to!!! There are so many combinations that can be done with recipe. Thanks for sharing! - 1/20/10

     This meal turned out better than I had imagined. My only issue with it was that it tasted more like Sloppy Joe meat than taco meat. I'll be trying this again, but with variation. - 5/8/10

     It was good and we all liked it, but to call it a restaurant makeover is hard to swallow when the tomatoes and lettuce are not included. Also needs a low-fat nacho cheese sauce sudh as Knouse Low Fat Nacho Cheese Sauce with 1.5gms of fat 1/4 cup. - 1/8/10

    Remember that it's not all about fat and Calories. Look at the sodium content of nacho cheese sauce. Look at the saturated fats, not just regular fat.

    Also, as I said in another comment, I didn't add lettuce because I didn't have any on hand and I dislike tomatoes so I didn't include them.

    :)

     Sounds good. I'll have to try this one with two exceptions. I would put lettuce and chopped onion on mine. I read you did not have lettuce which happens to me all the time. I either have too much lettuce in the house or too little. Thanks for sharing the recipe. - 1/8/10

     This sounds really good and will have to try but am looking for a msg free sazon seasoning. Goya sazon seasoning contains msg which isn't good for my family's ADD. - 11/18/10

     Great idea!! No matter if you stick to the original recipe or tweak it to you taste buds, meat stuffed in a doughy pocket is always fab!! Love it!! - 2/3/10

     I used the wrong size tortillas. I used what I had on hand (small whole wheat) rather than the large ones. But VERY good. My boyfriend loves it! - 1/11/10

     I'm going to try this with my version of taco bell spicy chicken (which is just pulled chicken cooked in enchilada sauce with taco seasonings.) I already make spicy chicken burritos which I miss dearly since they got rid of spicy chicken. But now I can have the spicy chicken crunchwrap too. Thanks! - 1/5/10
  • WANNAGETLOST
     Sounds super-tasty--and the husband is already suggesting that I make this for him some time... ;) - 11/4/09
  • SOSOBIG
     Looks good, but I'd add tomaotes, lettuce, to me it's not a crunchwrap without them - 11/12/09
  • VTMELWEL
     maybe use a low sodium packet instead but that's all i would change, sounds so yummy! - 11/10/09

  • RD03875
     Thank you for posting this. This is a good base recipe for things to add. I will save this recipe to make again. i added refried beans in place of the meat, onions, olives, jalapenos, and tomatoes. - 9/25/17
  • MAGICHEIDE
     I am not sure If I can rate this NO STARS, so I will give it one. Congrats on being in a contest because this came out AWFUL. I would rather use cumin, peppers, and chilis to make it taste better and lower sodium, likewise, the fresh veggies (lettuce and tomato) missing makes the recipe totally miss - 9/16/13

     Tomatoes don't sit well in my stomach so I was happy to see you omitted them. I liked the fact that variations could be done with it as I like Crunchwraps too. High 5s from me. My husband thought I had stopped to get them until he saw no nacho cheese sauce or tomatoes. He added to his. Thank you. - 8/9/12

     This sounds awesome, crunchwrap is my fav soooo glad to have a healthier version. - 6/29/12

     If you use ground turkey you can save even more calories and once you spice it up, you hardly even notice it's turkey. Also, as side note, if you use fat free sour cream, you swap fat calories for sugar which is how they give it flavor. Try using fat free greek yogurt, so flavorful, thick & creamy - 6/29/12
