I'm a former Taco Bell employee, and I'm showing you how to recreate your favorite menu items at home. This week, we're making the iconic Crunchwrap Supreme. It's a little extra work, but you'll get at least six for what it costs to buy two at the drive-thru—and you can load them up however you want. Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme (Taco Bell Dupe) Makes: 6 Crunchwraps Total Estimated Cost: ~$15.00 Cost Per Crunchwrap: ~$2.50 (compared to $5+ at Taco Bell) 1 lb ground beef – $4.00 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade) – $0.50 6 Old El Paso Grande 12" tortillas – $3.50 6 tostada shells – $2.00 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (Dollar Tree or Fritos dip) – $1.25-$3.00 1 cup sour cream – $1.00 1 cup shredded lettuce – $0.75 1–2 diced tomatoes – $1.00 Instructions: Warm your tortillas: The 12" tortillas are oversized and may not fit in your pan—just rotate them gently to warm. Assemble: In the center of each tortilla, add a scoop of taco meat and a spoonful of nacho cheese. Place a tostada shell on top, press gently, and give it a twist to spread the fillings. Layer with sour cream, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Fold: Starting at one edge, fold the tortilla up and over the center, then continue folding around in a circular motion until it's sealed. Toast: Place the folded side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast until golden, then flip and toast the other side. Serve: Slice in half or enjoy as-is! #FakeoutFriday #CrunchwrapSupreme #TacoBellDupe #CopycatRecipe #EasyMeals #BudgetEats #TacoBellAtHome #homemadefastfoodrestutant #MealHack #FrugalCooking #tacobellsecrets #TacoNight #wevegottacobellathome

This recipe makes six Crunchwraps for about $15, which could leave you with leftovers, depending on the number of people in your family. The biggest tip is to use 12-inch grande tortillas from Old El Paso. Unlike other tortilla brands, the brand's grande tortilla is the only one that's big enough to fold over and keep all of the ingredients tucked inside the Crunchwrap while it crisps in your skillet. Another important step involves twisting the tostada slightly as you place it on top of the meat and cheese sauce, to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Besides those two things, everything else is customizable. Take this opportunity to create your own Crunchwrap masterpiece (or you could cheat and order the DIY Taco Bell Crunchwrap kit).

Just because Taco Bell uses ground beef in its Crunchwrap Supreme doesn't mean you can't let your Taco Bell creativity run wild at home. Use whatever you have on hand, like ground turkey, ground chicken, or scrambled tofu. Season your protein of choice with homemade taco seasoning or use a store-bought packet. If you don't have cheese sauce, grate up a blend of cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese instead — or skip the cheese altogether.

To mimic the famous crunch, use a tostada, or try assembling a handful of tortilla chips in the center of the Crunchwrap. If you're out of sour cream, add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt to the tostada or tortilla chips, and no one will ever suspect a thing. Next, it's time for veggies. Try using romaine lettuce, little gem lettuce, or spinach in place of shredded iceberg lettuce. Add diced tomatoes, or try salsa in a pinch. You could even sprinkle some diced avocado on top for a little more creaminess. Now, enjoy your homemade Crunchwrap Supreme!
