If you ask me, what makes this recipe so delicious is the inner “crunch!” from the layer of tortilla chips – hence the name, “Crunchwrap!” The textures of soft and crunchy really elevates this recipe to the next level, in addition to the delicious flavour (cheesy, creamy and savoury!).

How to Make a Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme:

So, you’re probably wondering how on earth to make a vegan crunchwrap supreme? How does one package up all those layers into a neat hand-held tortilla pocket!?

Prepared to be wowed by just how simple it is….

Prepare the ingredients so you’re ready to go:

It’s helpful to prepare all the ingredients in advance. Start by preparing the homemade queso (if you are making it yourself. You can also use store-bought). 

For this recipe, I’ve used my homemade vegan queso recipe. It takes minutes to make and I highly reccomend it for optimal taste. 

Fry up the vegan “ground meat” (such as Lightlife, Beyond Meat, or Yves) with some taco spice. See this article from Kitchn for the best vegetarian meat substitutes if you don’t already have a favourite. I used Lightlife.

Alternatively, you could use extra-firm tofu for this recipe, breaking it up with your hands into “ground meat” chunks for similar consistency and frying up with the taco spice.

Finally, chop the veggies: tomatoes, lettuce, and cilantro, and mash the avocado with a fork.

Build the vegan crunchwrap supremes:

To build the crunchwraps, add the ingredients to the centre of a large (10-inch) tortilla, starting with the vegan queso, followed by the vegan ground meat, a layer or tortilla chips, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, and avocado.

Now, I always find that the tortillas aren’t large enough to fold over and cover the contents inside – even when using the large 1o-inch tortillas available at the grocery store. (They’re just not as big as the restaurant ones). So, I like to also buy some small, 5-inch tortilla wraps to place in the middle. It provides the perfect coverage to seal everything together when folding the tortilla inwards to make the pocket. 

(If you can’t find small 5-inch tortilla wraps, you can cut two 10-inch tortillas into quarters and use those to place in the centre. You don’t need a big piece. The recipe requires 6 large tortilla wraps to make 6 Crunchwraps. So you’d need 8 large tortillas in total). 

Next, we will take the wrapped tortilla pocket and fry it in a light drizzle of olive oil, (folded side down on the the skillet), until it’s golden brown and sealed together. About 2 to 3 minutes.

The heat from warming the tortillas will seal the folds together. Nothing else needed! Flip and brown the other side until golden. Then transfer to a plate and cut in half to reveal the gorgeous layers inside. 

You just learned how to make epic vegan crunchwraps! Pretty simple, hey? Especially given just how delicious they taste! Honestly, the hardest part about the recipe is the chopping of ingredients.

Continue building the crunchwraps with the remaining ingredients until you’ve used them all up. (The recipe makes 6 crunchwraps in total). Then, enjoy your much deserved food coma.
