# A DIY Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme: The Best Cheat Day Treat
Picture an oversized flour tortilla filled with seasoned ground beef, gooey nacho cheese, a crunchy tostada shell, freshly grated lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and cool sour cream, all wrapped and grilled. This is the Crunchwrap Supreme, a beloved Taco Bell creation and a top choice for many, including those who like to make it at home. Not only does making it yourself offer a sense of achievement, but it can also be a healthier alternative to fast food.
## What Exactly is a Crunchwrap Supreme?
The Crunchwrap Supreme is a delightful mix of crispy and soft textures, savory and fresh tastes. It resembles a flattened burrito with a crispy tostada center. The layers consist of seasoned beef, nacho cheese, a big crunchy corn chip, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream, all wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla. It’s a treat that feels less indulgent when prepared at home.
## A Crunchy Secret
The attraction of the Crunchwrap lies in its crunchiness. The tostada, a crispy element akin to a large round tortilla chip, delivers that pleasing texture that keeps you wanting more.
## How to Create a Crunchwrap Supreme
### Ingredients

### Instructions

2. **Layer**: Set a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Add seasoned beef, warm nacho cheese, a tostada, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

## How to Fold a Crunchwrap Supreme
To create the hexagonal shape, take one edge of the tortilla and fold it down over the fillings. Hold it in place with one hand while using the other to fold the next edge over. Keep repeating this until all six folds are finished, then grill seam-side down.
