Easy Taco Bell @ Home

This one is for all you Taco Bell fans out there. I know there are plenty of you, so this should be a real treat. We all know that spending $20 at Taco Bell would land you a regular fast food tex-mex feast. However, I came up with this error proof recipe for one of their best treats, the Crunchwrap Supreme.

Mind you, all ingredients and amounts are at your discretion. The following is a recipe to make just one Crunchwrap.

What You Need:

1 - Large burrito sized flour tortilla
2 - Regular sized corn hard taco shells (or flat round tostada shells)
- A quantity of cooked ground beef (Chorrizo is a great substitute!)
- A quantity of refried beans
1/4c. - Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2Tbsp - Sour Cream
- Chopped Lettuce
1/8c. - Diced Tomato
1/8c. - Diced Onion
1/8c. - Diced Red Bell Pepper

How to Make It:

Start by placing your large flour tortilla flat on the counter. Spoon a good amount of the refried beans in the middle, and spread it around in a circular shape. Next, place your cooked meat on top of that. Cover with cheese.

Now take your two hard taco shells, and break them evenly in the middle, so that that form a circle when laid flat. Spoon the sour cream over the top of the shells, and then place on top of the cheese. Your beans/meat/cheese layers should NOT extend outside of the circle made by the hard taco shells.

Next, put down your lettuce and other veggies. Then proceed to carefully, but tightly fold the outer edges of the flour tortilla, over the top of your layered creation. It is okay to have a small opening on top, but not preferred.

Lastly, you'll wanted to have a lightly oiled skillet heated up to medium/high. Place your Crunchwrap flat side down, and then place something flat and heavy on top to compress your treat and keep the folds from opening. After bottom is lightly toasted, flip so that the folds are down, and again compress. Once both sides are crisp you're creation is done.
