How to Make Blackstone Crunchwraps (Better Than Taco Bell)
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning and follow the packet instructions, typically adding water and simmering until thickened.
- Prepare the Crunchwraps: Lay one large flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer the following:
- A few spoonfuls of the seasoned ground beef.
- A small tostada on top of the beef.
- A handful of shredded cheese.
- A generous portion of shredded lettuce.
- Diced tomatoes.
- A dollop of sour cream.
- Any additional toppings you desire.
- Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating pleats to enclose the filling. Make sure the filling is completely covered.
- Cook the Crunchwrap: Heat a Blackstone griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or cooking spray. Place the folded crunchwrap seam side down on the griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
- Serve: Once both sides are crispy and golden, remove from the heat. Cut in half and serve with additional sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Substitutions & Additions
Feel free to get creative! If ground beef isn’t your thing, try ground turkey or a plant-based protein for a lighter option. You could also swap out the toppings for whatever you have on hand—think black beans, corn, or even avocado slices for a fresh twist.

Tips for Success
- Make sure your tortillas are large enough to hold all the fillings without tearing.
- Don’t overfill your crunchwraps; it can make them difficult to fold and cook.
- If you’re prepping ahead, you can cook the beef and chop the veggies in advance to save time.
How to Store Blackstone Crunchwraps (Better Than Taco Bell)
These crunchwraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or pop them in the toaster oven for that crispy finish again.
