Crunchwrap meal prep for my husband’s to-go lunches

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, cook the ground meat with taco seasoning according to package instructions. Set aside to cool.
2. Chop Vegetables: Prepare the lettuce and tomatoes, and any other fresh ingredients you plan to use.

Step 2: Assemble the Crunchwraps

1. Layer Ingredients: Lay a large tortilla flat on your work surface. In the center, spread a portion of the nacho cheese or shredded cheese. Add a layer of cooked meat.
2. Add Crunch: Place a tostada shell on top of the meat. Spread a thin layer of sour cream over the tostada, then add lettuce, tomatoes, and any additional toppings like salsa or onions.
3. Wrap It Up: Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center, creating a flat-bottomed, hexagonal package. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 3: Cook the Crunchwraps

1. Heat a Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook until the bottom is golden brown and sealed, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until crispy.
2. Cool Before Packing: Let them cool completely before packing into meal prep containers to prevent sogginess.

Step 4: Pack and Store

1. Storage: Place each Crunchwrap in a separate meal prep container. If the Crunchwraps will be eaten within 2-3 days, they can be stored in the refrigerator. For longer storage, wrap each Crunchwrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze.
2. Reheating: If refrigerated, microwave the Crunchwrap for 1-2 minutes until heated through. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Step 5: Serving Suggestions

1. Pack Extras: Include a small container of extra salsa or hot sauce for added moisture and flavor when reheating.
2. Include Sides: Consider packing a side of fruit, veggies, or a small salad to round out the meal.
