Crunchwrap-Style Sliders
Crunchwrap-style taco sliders made with queso, taco meat, Tostitos, and lettuce. Crisped to perfection and party-ready!
Ingredients
- 3 6.5 inch flour tortillas
- 2 teaspoons Salsa con Queso
- 4 Tablespoons of your favorite taco meat (See Tip 1)
- 4 Tablespoons shredded Colby Jack cheese (See Tip 2)
- 6 Tostitos Bites Rounds (See Tip 3)
- 2 teaspoons sour cream
- 4 Tablespoons shredded lettuce
- 2 teaspoons diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut 2 3-inch rounds from one of the flour tortillas. Wrap the other 2 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
- Place one of the larger tortillas on a level surface. Layer the filling as follows: 1 teaspoon Salsa con Queso, 2 tablespoons taco meat, 2 tablespoons shredded cheese; 3 Tostitos Rounds, 1 teaspoon sour cream; 2 Tablespoons shredded lettuce, and 1 teaspoon diced tomatoes.
- Place the 3-inch flour tortilla round on top of the ingredients. Tightly fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating pleats. Quickly invert the Crunchwrap so the pleats are on the bottom.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Add the crunchwrap sliders and brush the lightly brush the tops with vegetable oil. Cook on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half and serve.

Tips/Notes
- You can use your favorite taco meat in this recipe. If you'd like to use my favorite recipe, here are the ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef, 1 ounce package of taco seasoning, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, 10-ounce can of Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Chilies, and ½ cup of water. Brown, crumble, and drain the ground beef. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. This also works well with ground turkey.
- When I was experimenting with making this recipe, I used extra-sharp cheddar cheese. While that worked, I thought that it was too greasy. The Colby Jack was perfect. Pepper Jack also works well in this recipe.
- You can substitute other tortilla chips for the Tostitos rounds.
