Ingredients & Substitutions

Ingredients for Ultimate Crispy Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme

1 tbsp olive oil
1 (12 oz) package vegan ground “meat” crumble (e.g., Beyond Meat, Impossible, or a homemade lentil/walnut crumble for a whole-food option)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas (use gluten-free tortillas for a GF version)
4 small (6-inch) tostada shells or crispy hard taco shells (for the signature crunch)
1/2 cup vegan nacho cheese sauce (store-bought for convenience, or homemade cashew cheese for extra creaminess)
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup diced ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup vegan sour cream
1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional, but highly recommended for an extra kick)
1/4 cup fresh guacamole or thinly sliced avocado (optional, for added richness)
Extra virgin olive oil or non-dairy butter for grilling

How to make Ultimate Crispy Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme

Step 1: Prepare the vegan crumble

Vegan crunchwrap supreme makes every moment feel sunny. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan ground “meat” crumble, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the crumble with a spoon, until heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the first layer

Lay one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of vegan nacho cheese sauce in a circular shape in the center, leaving approximately a 1-inch border around the edge of the tortilla. Spoon a quarter of the seasoned vegan crumble mixture evenly over the cheese.

Step 3: Add the crunch

Carefully place one small tostada shell or crispy hard taco shell directly over the vegan crumble layer. This creates the signature, satisfying crunch that makes a crunchwrap so special.

Step 4: Layer the fresh toppings

Spread about 1 tablespoon of vegan sour cream onto the tostada shell. Top with a quarter of the shredded iceberg lettuce and diced tomatoes. Add a dollop of salsa or a spoonful of guacamole/sliced avocado if you’re using them for extra flavor and moisture.

Step 5: Fold and seal

Take the edges of the large tortilla and begin folding them inward towards the center, overlapping slightly, until all the ingredients are fully enclosed and a neat hexagon shape is formed. Press down gently but firmly to secure the folds. Chef’s Tip: If any small gaps appear in the center, you can use a small piece of another tortilla to patch them for a perfect seal.

Step 6: Grill to golden perfection

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little extra virgin olive oil or non-dairy butter to coat the pan. Carefully place the assembled crunchwrap, seam-side down, into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and deliciously crispy.

Step 7: Flip and finish

Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, until it’s also golden brown and heated through. The cheese inside should be perfectly melted, contributing to that gooey goodness. Repeat the grilling process with the remaining crunchwraps.

Step 8: Serve hot

Remove the finished crunchwraps from the pan, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. These are fantastic on their own, or with extra salsa, hot sauce, or vegan sour cream on the side for dipping.

Tips for success

**Don’t Overfill:** While tempting, overfilling your crunchwrap can make it difficult to fold and seal properly, leading to messy grilling. Stick to the recommended portions for best results.
**Seal it Tight:** A good, firm seal is key to preventing spillage during grilling and ensuring a cohesive crunchwrap. Press down gently but firmly after folding.
**Grill Seam-Side Down First:** Always place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the hot pan first. This helps to ‘glue’ the folds together and prevent them from unfolding while cooking.
**Even Browning:** Use a medium heat and a little oil or non-dairy butter. This ensures a beautifully golden and crispy exterior without burning.
**Tostada Alternatives:** No tostada shells on hand? No problem! You can use small hard taco shells, or cut a small circle from another large tortilla and bake or fry it until crispy before adding to your crunchwrap.

Serving suggestions

These Ultimate Crispy Vegan Crunchwrap Supremes are a meal in themselves, but they pair wonderfully with a few simple additions. Serve them with extra bowls of vibrant salsa, fresh guacamole, or cool vegan sour cream for dipping. A simple side of cilantro-lime rice, black beans, or a crisp green salad would complement the rich flavors beautifully. For a refreshing drink, consider an iced tea or a homemade agua fresca.

Storage & reheating

While best enjoyed fresh from the griddle for maximum crispness, leftover Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, avoid the microwave, as it will make the tortillas soft. Instead, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes per side, or reheat in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until heated through and crispy again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply swap the large flour tortillas for your favorite gluten-free tortillas. Also, ensure your tostada shells or hard taco shells are certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat.

What if I don’t have tostada shells?

Don’t let that stop you! You can use small hard taco shells for the crunch element. Alternatively, cut a small circle from another large tortilla, bake or fry it until crispy, and use that as your crunchy layer.

How can I make this spicier?

For a fiery kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the vegan crumble mixture while cooking. You can also opt for a spicier salsa or hot sauce as an optional topping, or even mix a little minced jalapeño into your vegan sour cream.
