This The Best Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe is a Taco Bell inspired food. My family loves them very much so I wanted to create this well-loved meal at home in a cleaner and healthier way. I used home ground beef for this recipe as well.
They are fantastically similar to Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap, but have a fresher and homier taste! I was glad to see it become a huge hit in my house because the requests for this tasty homemade Crunchwrap increased. My kids say that homemade tastes even better, so they came up with a name for this post.
As usual, this is a large recipe, which is unavoidable for my family size. If you make this recipe and have leftovers, it’s not a scary thing. Just refrigerate all the ingredients separately, cover them with plastic food wrap, and reheats them well for a good lunch the next day.
Even though you get your order fast at Taco Bell, I would not call this recipe "fast food," when made at home. It involves multiple steps in prep, cooking, and assembling before you get to the yummy final product. It is totally worth it, though.
Tastes just like Taco Bell's, but prepared in a way that you know you can trust, makes it much more delicious and enjoyable. If you like Mexican food, you will love this treat as well. Enjoy!
