Homemade Crunchwraps!

Nothing crazy in terms of recipes today but we decided to mix things up a TINY bit and make our own crunch wraps at home. I know this is super popular and they’re really not THAT hard to make but it’s just time consuming. We usually make our own ‘burrito bowls’ at home and do the veggies, beans, meat, and rice all in a bowl that we mix and eat sans tortilla but Caleb watched a youtube video recently and they made their own crunch wraps so here we are.

I made everything per usual, rice, beans, pork, onions and peppers, and Caleb helped me fry small corn tortilas to use for crunch on the inside.

Then I assembled it (Caleb wasn’t sure he could fold it correctly and I used to work at Chipotle so I’m well acquainted with a tortilla). The problem with making this at home is that the tortillas at Chipotle and Moes are actually bigger than usual ones in the grocery store.

I made mine first as a tester and it worked okay though it was tricky to flip into the pan so that the bottom would seal with cheese and not open up while cooking. Caleb’s came out more aesthetically pleasing though they both tasted equally fine.

It was a good meal but I would say, it’s not worth the effort to do this all the time. Burrito bowls are a weekly staple and they’re much easier with just about the same ingredients.

Final verdict: want a crunch wrap or a stack? Got to Moe’s or Taco bell. They have a system and the time to do it. Fun to try once or twice though.
