  • 1 (15 oz) can lentils, drained and rinsed (or use ½ block crumbled firm tofu)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

For the Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce:

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 1 hour (or use store-bought vegan cheese)

  • ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk

  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric (for color)

For Assembling the Crunchwrap:

  • 4 large burrito-sized tortillas

  • 4 crunchy tostada shells (or use small crispy corn tortillas)

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

  • ½ cup guacamole

  • ¼ cup vegan sour cream (optional)

  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for pan-frying)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Vegan “Beef”

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add lentils (or crumbled tofu), soy sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to absorb.

  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine:

    • Soaked cashews

    • Plant-based milk

    • Nutritional yeast

    • Garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, hot sauce, smoked paprika, turmeric, and salt

  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.

  3. Set aside.

(Shortcut: Use store-bought vegan cheese sauce if you’re short on time!)

Step 3: Assemble the Crunchwrap

  1. Lay a large tortilla flat and spread a few tablespoons of vegan cheese sauce in the center.

  2. Add a scoop of seasoned lentil “beef” on top.

  3. Place a tostada shell over the filling.

  4. Spread a layer of guacamole and vegan sour cream on the tostada.

  5. Sprinkle with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Step 4: Fold the Crunchwrap

  1. Fold the edges of the tortilla over the center, working in sections, to create a hexagon shape.

  2. If your tortilla is too small, place a smaller tortilla or piece of another tortilla in the center before folding.

Step 5: Toast the Crunchwrap

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil.

  2. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down in the pan and press gently.

  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

  5. Remove from heat and repeat for the remaining Crunchwraps.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Slice in half and serve hot and crispy.

  2. Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra vegan cheese sauce or salsa.

  3. Enjoy with a side of chips, salsa, or Mexican rice!

Notes

Tips for the Best Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme

✔ Use Large Tortillas – This helps wrap everything securely.
✔ Crisp it Up – Pan-frying gives it that signature crunch!
✔ Layer Wisely – Keep wet ingredients (guacamole & sour cream) on the tostada shell to prevent sogginess.
✔ Customize the Fillings – Add black beans, jalapeños, or avocado slices.
✔ Serve Immediately – The crunch is best right after cooking!
