When I'm craving a Crunchwrap Supreme, I don't go to Taco Bell; I stay home. In fact, I can proudly say my vegan crunchwrap supreme is way better.
Of course, I had to go to Taco Bell to figure out what was inside and how they double wrap their creation. I was grossed out. Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme recipe is basically a cross between their Tostado and a Burrito Supreme.
Additionally, its grilled flour tortilla is folded into a hexagon filled with seasoned ground beef, a tostada shell, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
Obviously, I skipped the meat altogether, and I veganized it. Also, Taco Bells' Crunchwrap Supreme was really greasy on the inside, outside, and upside down 🙂
HOW TO VEGANIZE THE CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME RECIPE AND GRILL TO PERFECTION
First, choose your favorite burrito ingredients, and large burrito sized tortillas and some small tortillas. Although Taco Bell uses a fried tostada inside, I skip that part, use two tortillas, and fill my crunchwrap supreme with vegan goodness.
Instead of using my panini maker, I use my Best Non-Stick Pan for Oil-Free Cooking. Once I tried using my panini maker, and unfortunately, it didn't turn out as well.
However, it did taste just as good, but it was smashed and not easy to eat. As a result, the skillet is a much better way to go.
Unlike Taco Bell, I don't use any oil in my pan. The tortilla grills perfectly without and spray or oil on the non-stick pan. Another tip is to grill the folded side first. Not only does it help with flipping it over, but it also helps seal the folded section so it doesn't come apart.
Because I have a big family and we like to eat together, I use four skillets simultaneously. Then, we can all eat together. And, if you fold your vegetarian crunchwrap tight enough, the pans don't even get dirty 🙂
FOLDING THE SKINNY VEGAN CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME IN A HEXAGON SHAPE
Since Taco Bell claims their Crunchwrap Supreme is easy to eat on the go, our vegan version will travel well. For that reason, it's all in the way you fold your tortilla. So, your focus needs to be the center of the tortilla for the veggies, and you fold around the goodness.
To make it easier to fold, warm the tortilla for a few seconds in the microwave to make it softer and easier to bend.
First, lay the tortilla on a flat surface, and add your filling to the center.
Next, hold the first fold, and continue around the circumference of the tortilla, folding the corners as you go.
COOKING THE CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME...HOW TO KEEP IT TOGETHER
Once the tortilla is folded all the way around, place it seam side down in a non-stick pan. As an added note, you do not need any oil or cooking spray. The non-stick pan will, however, brown the Crunchwrap all on its own without any oil.
Again, it is important to note that the seam (bottom side of the crunchwrap) should be brown in color before flipping.
As a result, the seam will seal, and the crunchwrap will stay together.
HOW TO AVOID A SOGGY VEGAN CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME
To avoid sogginess, I layer my ingredients with the wet ingredients in the middle. In other words, use dry on the outside and wet on the inside of the layers.
For example, start with the brown rice as the base, which will act like a sogginess barrier for the other ingredients. Then, layer veggies, and the cheese sauce should end up in the middle.
For this Crunchwrap recipe, I used my Skinny Nacho “Cheese” Sauce I leftover from last night's dinner. If you think ahead, you can use multiple recipes in different dishes.
That way, you avoid any soggy bread. With that in mind, a skinny vegetarian crunchwrap isn't crunchy if it's soggy.
ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE YOUR CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME UNIQUE
If you are an alternative meat fan, adding some BOCCA or Beyond Meat taco meat adds another level of yum. Furthermore, I make my own Vegan Sour Cream because what's Mexican food without a little sour cream goodness?
Next, if you don't want to make your own Nacho “Cheese” Sauce, vegan storebought cheese will work. In a pinch, I prefer to use Follow Your Heart slices, not the shreds. For some reason, the slices melt and taste better than the shred.
As a rule, I also like fresh Pico de Gallo, but again, your favorite store-bought salsa works just as well. Of course, everyone has their own favorite beans and veggies. Even though I used black beans, pinto beans are a great replacement.
So, personalizing your Crunchwrap supreme recipe is essential!

Ingredients
CRUNCH WRAP
- 4 large whole wheat burrito tortillas, plus 4 small tortillas (0r one cut into four equal quarters)

Hi! My name is Kathy, I am a retired high school English teacher & vegan enthusiast and blogger. My entire blog is fully plant-based vegan. I truly believe what we eat & how we live determines our health & the preservation of our planet! 🙂
Judy
This are fairly easy to make and so delicious! Thank you!
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Judy, Thank you. My family loves them. It takes a little practice with the fold, but once you have that down, it all works out.
Amber
Do you saute the veggies before putting them in the wrap?
Kathy Carmichael
Amber, good question. Yes, I do, but it is a preference of how you like your veggies. They can be raw or cooked.
Suzie
I don’t like avocados- will it work without? Any suggestions would be great! ????????
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Suzie, you don't need avocado. You can really add anything you like. Let me know if you like it.
Debbie frenze
I wish you had a video, I am trying to understand how you flip it without everything falling out??
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Debbie! I use a plate the size of the pan, slide the crunchwrap out, and then put the pan on top of the plate, and flip it. Does that make sense? I never thought about a video showing how. Sorry if I didn't explain well enough. I hope you enjoy the crunchwrap!
Lisa
Do you think it would be OK to make this the night before for lunch at work? Especially with the avocados in it? Thank you!
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Lisa! Yes, you can make it the night before and heat up for lunch. When I make it the day before, I squeeze lime over the avocado to keep it from browning as much. It does still get a little brown though. I hope this helps.
Ella
Do these freeze well?
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Ella, the filling will freeze, but I have never frozen the entire thing. And I don't think my family has ever left any left overs hahah
Anita
This may be a weird question but, is it too much tortilla when you put some on inside before folding? Maybe it's just me.
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Anita. If it' too much bread for your liking you can leave out the interior one. The point of the interior tortilla is to match the "crunchwrap" design that Taco Bell makes. It will taste the with one tortilla.
Teresa
Wow! I just made these. Two kinds, mine with black beans, tomatoes, avocado and a dab of sales and my nd had shrimp, tomatoes, cheese and a dab of salsa. We both loved them! I tried using Ezekiel tortia for mine on first try but didn't work and ended up using plain old tortia that I used for bf but I prefer the wholesome sprouted grain sans sat fat etc. Any thoughts on how I could make this work or an equal healthy alternative? Thank you for this great recipe!
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Teresa, I used an oil-free version I found at Trader Joes or I use one with oil I love from Whole Foods. I have also used the oil-free lavash from Trader Joes, but it isn't as pretty but tastes just as good. I am so happy you liked it. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
Maureen
Hi Kathy,
I Made The Crunch Wrap Supreme.
Absolutely Delicious! ????
Thank You For The Recipe
Kathy Carmichael
Maureen, I am so glad you liked it. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
Ana
Hi! Where does all the protein come from? Does the vegan cheese have protein? Thanks! Yummy recipe!
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Ana, the veggies (avocado, onion), brown rice black beans, and all the ingredients in the cheese sauce (nutritional yeast, potatoes, and carrots), and the cashews in the vegan sour cream.
Sara
I wish there was video demonstration of how to wrap the tortillas...
Kathy Carmichael
Sarah, I'm sorry. I am thinking about adding video components. Just put all the filling in the middle and fold the sides up around it. I'm sure it's going to turn out fabulous 🙂
Sherry Reames
Hi, I was wondering where the cholesterol comes from in the recipe? Thank you.
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Sherry, the calorie estimator my blog estimates the amounts in the recipe, indicates cholesterol for the flour tortillas. Although you can buy flour tortillas or make your own without any fat, the program assumes you will use a typical flour tortilla, which contains fat. I hope this answers your question. If you try the Crunch Wrap, let me know if you enjoy it. And, thank you for reaching out. Stay safe and healthy.
Laurem
Any suggestions for gluten free folks? I tried using Siete and they just fall apart 🙁
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Lauren, I'm sorry that happened. That's frustrating. Although I've never tried it, Mission makes a gluten-free large corn tortilla that seems softer than typical gluten-free bread, so that may work.
Suzanne
This looks so good! This is my favorite menu item so its great to have a vegan option!
Kathy Carmichael
Suzanne, I hope you love it! Let me know if you like it. Have a great weekend.
Vanessa
Thanks for sharing! Does I keep long?
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Vanessa, the filling lasts a few days and can be made beforehand, once the crunch wrap is made, it should be eaten then for the best results. I have reheated it before, and it's good, but not as crunchy. I hope this helps. Have a great holiday weekend.
INGRID MARCY GOLD
I only have stainless pans, no no stick. Will this work?
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Ingrid, yes; tortillas don't stick unless the sauce leaks out. I hope you enjoy the crunch wrap. Have a nice holiday.
KC
So great! I used my panini maker for toasting, and it worked out pretty well. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Kathy Carmichael
HI KC...I'm so glad you liked the recipe. I've used my panini maker as well. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
