Ingredients:

 

Taco Meat Filling:

 

-1 package vegan ground meat (I used Beyond Beef)

-1 packet Taco Seasoning

-The Following Seasonings to Taste:

-Black Pepper

-Water for preparation

 

Refried Beans:

 

-1 16 ounce can Pinto Beans

-3 tablespoons oil (I used Canola)

-1 tablespoon minced garlic

-1 teaspoon “Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base”

The Following Seasonings to Taste:

-Garlic Powder

-Black Pepper

 

Queso:

 

-1/3 cup shredded vegan cheddar

-3-4 tablespoons plant milk (depending on how thick you want your queso)

-2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Hot and Sweet Jalapeños, diced

 

For one Crunch Wrap

 

-1 large flour tortilla

-1 tostada shell

-1 tablespoon vegan sour cream

-Iceberg Lettuce, Shredded 

-Tomatoes, diced

 

Directions:

 

1. Prepare the taco meat: heat 2 tablespoons of water in a large skillet. Add vegan meat, garlic powder, and black pepper to the pan. Cook until brown and water evaporates. Add the packet of taco seasoning and finish cooking according to package instructions. Set aside

2. Prepare the refried beans: add oil to a small pot and heat. Add the entire can of beans (including liquid) to the pan. Add garlic powder and black pepper and stir to combine. Allow beans to come to a gentle simmer. 

3. Using a potato masher or fork, mash beans to desired consistency (I like mine pretty thin)

4. Add minced garlic and the Better Than Bouillon to the beans. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Set aside

5. Prepare the queso: in a small sauce pan on medium heat, add vegan cheddar and plant milk. Whisk the cheese and milk until the cheese melts. Add jalapeños and simmer on low for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set aside

6. Build the crunch wrap: place a thin layer of queso in the center of the flour tortilla. On top of the cheese, place about a 1/4 cup of the taco meat. Place the tostada shell on top of the meat. On top of the tostada shell add thin layers of beans, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato. 

7. Time to fold! Take one side of the tortilla and fold it in to the center (consult video for a clearer demonstration). Continue folding the edges of the tortilla into the center, moving around the crunch wrap until all sides are in the center

8. Place the crunch wrap seam side down in a lightly oiled frying pan. Using your hand, press on hold the crunch wrap down for about 30 seconds to help the crunch wrap seal. Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown
