Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
One 1-ounce package taco seasoning
1 cup jarred cheese sauce
Seven 12-inch flour tortillas
4 tostada rounds
1 cup sour cream
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 plum tomato, diced
Canola oil, for brushing
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to the package instructions on the taco seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cheese sauce in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warm and pourable.
  • On a work surface, lay out 5 flour tortillas in a circle, overlapping slightly. Add a tortilla to the middle, on top of the others. Spread the ground beef evenly over the center tortilla. Pour the cheese onto the beef (it's okay if it's not completely covered). Cover the cheese with a layer of 4 tostada rounds. Press them down, breaking them a little, to make a flat layer. Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the tostadas. Sprinkle the lettuce over the top of the sour cream, then sprinkle with the tomatoes. Add the final tortilla over the tomato. Fold the sides of the tortillas up and over to wrap around the layers. The top should be covered in overlapping folds. Press the wrap down so that it is even and not domed. Brush the top with canola oil.
  • Remove the rimmed baking sheet from the oven. Brush the baking sheet with canola oil, then carefully transfer the wrap to the baking sheet meat-side down. Bake immediately until the top is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Invert the crunch wrap onto a serving platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with hot sauce if using.

CRUNCHY MEATLESS TACO WRAPS



Crunchy Meatless Taco Wraps image

This recipe is sponsored by Target. These crunchy taco wraps are bursting with flavor and protein thanks to plant-based ground meat. The folding method is inspired by the viral TikTok method, and there's a medley of textures, from crunchy chips to chewy tortillas. The brightness from the chopped salad kit and salsa verde helps to tie all the flavors together for this weeknight delight!

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
8 ounces plant-based ground meat
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12.6-ounce package Southwest-style chopped salad kit
1/2 cup crushed yellow corn tortilla chips, plus more if needed
4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
1 cup roasted salsa verde
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground meat and cook, breaking into crumbles using a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Put the lettuce from the salad kit in another medium bowl.
  • Put any toppings included in the salad kit, such as tortilla strips and pepitas, in another medium bowl. Add enough tortilla chips to measure 1 cup total and toss to combine.
  • Place 1 large tortilla on a cutting board. Starting from the bottom of the tortilla, cut a vertical slit halfway up the tortilla. In the first quadrant of the tortilla on the lower left side, place 1/3 cup of the plant-based ground meat. Working clockwise, in the second quadrant on the upper left side, add 1/4 cup of the cheese. In the third quadrant on the upper right side, add a quarter of the lettuce. In the fourth quadrant on the lower right side, add 1/4 cup of the tortilla chip mixture.
  • Starting with the first quadrant with the plant-based meat, fold the quadrant upwards on top of the second quadrant with the cheese. Fold the second quadrant to the right on top of the chopped lettuce, and finally, fold the third quadrant down on top of the crushed tortilla chips to form a triangle-shaped taco wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining 3 tortillas and toppings.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add 2 taco wraps and press down with the back of a nonstick spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 2 taco wraps. Remove to a cutting board, cut in half if desired and serve with salsa verde and sour cream.
