Ingredients

- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Crunchwrap Assembly

- ½ cup diced red onion
- Non-fat Greek yogurt
- Trader Joe’s Queso Cheese Dip

Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef.
Break it apart and cook until browned. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook until the beef is fully cooked through.
Remove beef from the pan and wipe the skillet clean.
2. Assemble the Crunchwrap Tacos
Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board.
On one half of the tortilla layer:
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 2–3 ounces seasoned ground beef
- 1 tablespoon queso dip
Fold the tortilla closed to create a half-moon shape.
3. Toast the Crunchwrap
Heat the same skillet over medium heat.
Place the folded taco in the pan and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until the tortilla becomes lightly golden and crispy.
Remove from the pan.
4. Add the Crunch & Fresh Toppings
Carefully open the taco back up and add:
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced red onion
- 4–5 elote corn chips for crunch
Fold it back closed and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Crunchwrap Tacos
- Toasting the tortilla first helps it stay crisp even after adding toppings.
- Add hot sauce or taco sauce if you want extra heat.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling if they crack when folding.
- For extra protein, add black beans to the beef mixture.
Storage Tips
These tacos are best eaten fresh, but you can:
- Store cooked beef in the fridge for up to 4 days
- Assemble fresh crunchwraps whenever you want a quick meal
Why This Recipe Works
Using lean ground beef keeps the tacos protein-packed without being greasy. The Greek yogurt replaces sour cream for a lighter option, while the queso and corn chips give you the classic creamy-crunchy crunchwrap experience.
It’s simple, balanced, and seriously satisfying.
