GIANT CRUNCHY TACO WRAP
We took a fast-food favorite and made it way (way!) bigger. And since it's stuffed with delicious layers of beef, cheese, crunch and sour cream, you'll be glad it's large enough to share.

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.

Steps:
- Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large braiser or cast-iron skillet.
- Using tongs, slip half of a tortilla in the hot oil to form a taco shell shape. Using a metal spatula with the other hand, keep half the tortilla submerged until golden. Turn the tortilla so that the fried part now sticks out of the oil, letting the bottom fry, while making sure to keep the tortilla open about 2 inches wide. (This creates the necessary space to stuff it!) Then gently turn the tortilla and repeat the process so that the remaining side fries to a golden brown while the rest stays out of the oil. Let the taco shell drain on the lined sheet pan. Fry another tortilla in this manner; reserve the other two tortillas.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Place one unfried tortilla in a pan and top it edge to edge with cheese. Lightly broil until the cheese is just melted, but the tortilla isn't toasted. While still hot, "stick" the cheesy, non-crispy tortilla to the outside of a fried tortilla shell. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese and fried shell.
- Now build! Fill the cavity of the taco with some warm Taco Meat, followed by some lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro.
- Serve with your favorite taco bib.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and brown, breaking the meat up constantly into smaller little bits, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. (If there is a lot of rendered fat, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.)
- Add the onions, chipotle powder and cumin. Cook until the onions are soft, another 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just another 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes. You want this taco meat to be pretty "tight" and dehydrated, not soupy or loose! Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Generously butter a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
- Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
- Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
- Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
- Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
- Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
- Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
- While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Pour the salsa over top, and sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese topping has melted and is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
