Equipment:
- Large Frying Pan

Ingredients:
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (Fried)
- 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning Mix (Fried)
- 4 Tablespoons Water (Fried)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (Fried)
- 1 Large Flour Tortilla (Fried and Smashed flat with the bottom of the drinking glass or a rolling pin.)
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to Taste (Optional) (Fried)
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/8 cup of Nacho Cheese Sauce (Fried)

Method:
Step 1: Fry your ground beef in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with taco seasoning and cayenne pepper. Turn your heat to medium and fry until the ground beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. It would help if you were careful not to overcook it since you want it to be juicy and moist in your Crunchwrap.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate frying pan. Once your olive oil has heated, smash your flour tortilla flat with the bottom of a drinking glass or a rolling pin and fry until it is crunchy. This should only take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Wrap up your tortilla in foil and keep it warm in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Heat up your nacho cheese sauce in a separate frying pan. Add in your chopped tomatoes and cook until they are caramelized.
Step 5: Layer the ground beef at the bottom of your tortilla, followed by the cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and nacho cheese sauce.
Step 6: Start rolling up your Crunchwrap. Being careful not to break it as you roll. Serve and Enjoy!
