Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) refried beans (or black beans)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or plant-based alternative)
- 1/4 cup guacamole (or diced avocado)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 tostada shells (for the crunch)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- 4 small corn tortillas or extra small flour tortillas (for sealing)
- For the Assembly:
- Salsa or hot sauce (for added spice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for grilling the wraps)
Instructions
- Prepare the bean filling: In a small skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the refried beans or black beans if you like it chunkier and taco seasoning. Stir it all up. Add 1/4 cup of water to thin out the beans a bit so they are spreadable. Cook for about 3-4 minutes till it's warm and thick but not dry. Set this mix aside.
- Assemble the crunch wrap: Lay down one big flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread some bean mixture in the center of the tortilla. Keep it circular with about 2 inches free around edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans. Put a tostada shell on top of that cheese layer. It’s what makes that crunch wrap crunchy. Add a bit of sour cream on top of the tortilla shell, followed by guacamole, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
- Seal that crunch wrap: Take a little corn tortilla or small flour tortilla and put it over those fillings on top of the tortilla. Carefully fold the edges of the large flour tortilla over the smaller one in a hexagon pattern. Press down firmly so edges stay put.
- Cook Crunch Wrap: Heat those 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Put crunch wrap seam-side down in pan and cook for 2-3 minutes till bottom gets golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side another couple minutes until crisp and heated through. Do the same thing with other wraps.
- Serve It Up: Cut Vegetarian Crunch Wrap Supreme in half and serve right off with favorite salsa, hot sauce, or extra guacamole.
Tips and Variations:
- Customize filling: Switch out refried beans for black or pinto beans; even try seasoned tofu or tempeh crumbles if you like it. Add rice or quinoa for hearty filling too.
- Cheese options: Go vegan with plant-based shredded cheese with vegan sour cream too. If you like a melty texture, then use slices of vegan cheese or even some cheese sauce inside there.
- No Tostadas: Make your own by baking small corn tortillas until they are crispy or toss some tortilla chips instead.
- More Chili: Use hot sauce or spicy salsa if you want spicier.
- Healthier Version: Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas. If you want more veggies, then roast bell peppers or sauté onions and corn could work better.
- Prepare early: The bean mix or toppings can be ready by storing two days ahead in airtight containers; it saves time when you need the recipe immediately.
