I have to start this off with a full confession.... we love Taco Bell! I never thought I would have to talk about Taco Bell in a blog post. 😁 One of our favorite treats from Taco Bell is a crunchwrap supreme. Soooooo, yes, we had to recreate one of our favorites. Of course, we had to make the crunchwrap supreme in the Air Fryer. Now, don't get me wrong, I love everything that Taco Bell has on the menu. The crunchwrap is just one of our top picks!
Who wouldn't love a flour tortilla layered with seasoned ground turkey, oooey gooey cheese, and a crunchy corn tortilla, all folded together and placed in the air fryer until it reaches crunch perfection? You have to try this taco bell crunchwrap supreme recipe!!!!
This is one of those recipes where you can add additional ingredients depending on what you love in a crunchwrap.... or what's in the fridge and pantry. For example, if you want to add some lettuce and tomatoes, Go ahead and add them, it works great!
Homemade Taco Seasoning
The homemade taco seasoning recipe is below. This is one of those "mixes" we always try to keep on hand. Just get a jar add in the spices and stir. It's perfect for seasoning ground turkey, chicken, or beef for taco night.....or crunchwrap night! 😀We've even sprinkled it on chicken and grilled it to add a little spice to a chicken dinner.
Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe!
Cook the ground meat with the taco seasoning. We add the seasoning as soon as we start to cook the ground meat to ensure the taco seasoning really flavors the ground meat. Some of the seasoning will stick to the pan but don't worry when water is added it will cook right into the meat.
After the meat is cooked and has cooled, stir in part of the cheese. This will ensure the flavors are all mixed together in the crunchwrap. We add whipped cream cheese to "stretch" the cheese and add extra creaminess. This is a fun trick to cut some of the fat in dishes that you would normally load up with cheese. The cream cheese makes the dish so creamy that you forget there's less cheddar cheese because you're not missing that creamy texture. Plus, no one will know that calories are cut by using cream cheese.
Refried Black Beans
If you prefer brown beans for the refried beans, just use pinto beans. I personally prefer black beans; I think they have more flavor, but I have been reminded by family members it's a personal preference. Either way, it's the same ingredients and steps for both beans.
Put the CRUNCH in Crunchwrap
To make a super crunchy crunchwrap supreme recipe, start by spraying a corn tortilla with cooking spray and air frying it for about 5 minutes. This will add that “CRUNCH” to the wrap! Then, place the crispy corn tortilla on a large flour tortilla and cut the flour tortilla to the same size as the corn tortilla to create a "lid" for your crunchwrap. This will make sure that all the yummy filling stays inside. 😁 TIP: try using Street Taco Corn Tortillas and Street Flour Tortillas for an easier time - no need to cut any tortillas!
Building the Wrap!
Lay out a large flour tortilla. Add cheese, cooked ground turkey mixture, crispy air-fried corn tortilla, more cheese, refried beans, and more cheese. Top with another flour tortilla (or street taco flour tortilla). Note: If you want lettuce and tomatoes in the crunchwrap, add them on top of the last layer of cheese.
How to Fold the Crunchwrap
After folding up the sides of the crunchwrap, insert toothpicks into each fold to hold it together. This is similar to using a sewing pin to secure the edge of the large tortilla with the top small tortilla. Then, spray the edges of the flour tortilla with cooking spray to seal them. Remember how many toothpicks you used so that you can make sure to remove them all before serving.
Air Fry the Crunchwrap
Spray all sides of the crunchwrap with cooking spray. I like to use butter spray for the added flavor it gives to the flour tortilla, but olive oil spray works great, too! Place in the air fryer, cook for 5 minutes and then check. Depending on your air fryer, you may need to cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Remove it from the air fryer once the crunchwrap reaches the desired golden color. Don't forget to remove the toothpicks from the crunchwrap before serving.
NOTE: Air fryers may require different cooking times, so it's important to check the food, as it may take more or less time in each one.

Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe in the Air Fryer
A Few Things We Use
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Turkey
- 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Cream Cheese
- 1 Cup Colby Cheese or Monterey Jack Cheese
- 2 Cups Black Beans
- ½ Cup Salsa
- 8 Flour Tortillas
- 8 Street Taco Corn Tortillas
- 8 Street Taco Flour Tortillas
Instructions
- Place ground turkey in the large sauté pan. Add taco seasoning.
- When the ground turkey is cooked (about 5 minutes), add ½ Cup water to the turkey. Turn down to simmer and cook until the water has cooked away.
- Mix together cooked ground turkey, 1 cup each of cream cheese, cheddar, and Colby (or Monterey Jack) cheeses
- Mix 2 cups black beans and ½ cup salsa in a separate bowl.
- Skip this step if using Street Taco-sized corn and flour tortillas. If using larger corn tortillas: Lay a corn tortilla on the edge of a large flour tortilla. Cut the flour tortilla to the size of the corn tortilla. This extra piece of flour tortilla will be used to ensure the crunchwrap can be closed.
- Spray the corn tortilla with cooking spray. Place in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Layer the Crunchwrap
- Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface and add ½ cup of the cooked ground turkey cheese mixture.
- Place air-fried corn tortilla on top of the meat.
- Place 1 Tablespoon of cheese on top of the corn tortilla (Optional)
- Place ¼ Cup of the black bean mixture on top of the cheese and crispy corn tortilla.
- Place 2 Tablespoons of cheese on top of black beans (Optional)
- Place the street taco flour tortilla OR the cut-out flour tortilla circle on top. Spray the edges of the top with cooking spray.
- Fold the sides of the flour tortilla up, spray with cooking spray, and secure them with toothpicks.
- Continue to fold all sides until completely folded and closed.
- Lightly spray cooking spray on the edges of the flour tortilla to seal.
- Spray the bottom and sides of the flour tortilla with cooking spray. Also, spray the bottom of the air fryer so the crunchwrap won't stick.
- Place the crunchwrap in the air fryer. Cook for 7 minutes at 400 degrees. `
- Check and cook for an additional 1 to 3 minutes at 400 degrees until the crunchwrap is golden brown.
- Remove the crunchwrap from the air fryer. Serve with your favorite condiments. We like additional salsa, jalapeños, and sour cream.
- Enjoy!!!!
