What size tortillas do you use?
Looks great, but the way.
It’s a pretty typical 10” grocery store flour tortilla wrapped around a fried 5” corn tortilla. The flour tortilla almost completely wraps around it, but not quite. You need to sacrifice one of the flour tortillas to make a few small flour hockey pucks to top the crunchwrap so that it’ll be edge to edge tortilla when you fry it. The edges should seal nicely and you don’t get any spillage.
I hear you can hunt out bigger wraps, but cutting out the little flour toppers seemed to do the trick for me.
You EXACTLY addressed the issue I have making these. All of the YouTube videos that I've watched use special 12" tortillas but I don't have access to any bigger than 10". I'll try your suggestion next time. Thanks!
I don't have any pictures of the un-fried wrap, but these two blogs should give you a good idea. The flour pucks don't need to be quite as big as in that first link, but you get the gist of it.
Just pour one out for my donor tortilla.
I want to go to there.
Simmer down, Lemon.
I don’t see enough melted cheese for my taste, but, other than that, looks fantastic!
It doesn’t come through in the picture, but the beef half is about 50% fresh queso. 👍
Well, never mind then, it’s up to standard. Haha.
This looks excellent.
Wow, small world - we literally made these for lunch today! We used the same size tortillas it opted to use a small street taco sized flour tortilla to address the larger one night quite wrapping all the way around.
Looks great, I used to make these all the time.
I’ll take seven, thanks
Pull around to the second window please.
I want to go to there.
