Recipe Notes
Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme Tips
- Use ground American Lamb for this tasty wrap. American lamb is superior to any other lamb as it's local, fresh and raised with a high industry standard. On top of all, it tastes absolutely better than any other!
- You can skip the seasoning step of the meat by buying taco seasoning from the store and simply mix that in the lamb with the onions and cook until the temperature of the meat is 175 degrees F at least.
- When buying tortilla for this recipe, make sure you buy the large size 9 to 10 inch for wrapping. And a smaller one about 5 inch for the top. There has to be a significant difference in sizes so that the wrap holds its shape well.
- The inside crunch layer is made using a tostado, otherwise you can use your favorite crunchy tortilla chips.
- When it comes to layering, make sure you follow the steps as this is optimal cheese distribution. That way as you're cooking it, the layers hold themselves well as the cheese begins to melt.
- When layering, make sure you only use the center/middle part of the tortilla to layer on. Avoid spreading the filling to the sides because it will be harder to wrap up later.
- When folding, follow the steps and always make sure you have your fingers pressing down on the edges already folded in.
- Sear the wrap with the seam side down ALWAYS so that the shape stays intact right away.
