Why I Love This Recipe

  • Easy to make: This crunchwrap might look intimidating, but it’s actually really easy to make (and even more fun to eat!).
  • Perfect Texture: The crunchy tortilla in the middle adds texture, and the cheesy, seasoned tofu filling is so satisfying that even meat-lovers will be coming back for more!
  • Customizable: Like many of Mexican-inspired recipes like Mexican Lasagna or Vegetarian Chimichangas, this recipe is easily customizable. Make this crunchwrap vegan, add your favorite veggies, or switch up the proteins to suit your preferences.
  • Kid-friendly: This recipe is great for kids because it’s fun to make and easy to eat since it’s hand held! Mine all love to assemble their own personal crunchwrap so they can have their favorite veggies wrapped inside.
  • Fast food alternative: When it comes to healthy meals for my family, fast food doesn’t usually make the list. I love creating healthy homemade versions of fast food favorites, and this Vegetarian Crunchwrap Supreme is a perfect alternative to the traditional fast food crunchwrap!

The Ingredients

For the Crunchwrap:

  • Tofu: Extra firm tofu is a great meat substitute. Make sure to drain and press it well for the best texture. Looking for more recipes with tofu? Try my Sweet Gingery Tofu, Mapo Tofu and delicious Chocolate Tofu Pudding!
  • Tortillas: You’ll need both a large flour tortilla and a small corn or flour tortilla for that perfect crunch.
  • Cheese: A mix of Mexican shredded cheese like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and cheddar adds a melty, flavorful layer. Swap for vegan cheese if needed.
  • Taco seasoning: Adds all the classic Mexican flavors to the tofu.
  • Lettuce and tomato: Fresh and crunchy toppings to balance the richness.
  • Olive oil: Used to crisp up the tortillas and cook the tofu.

For the Sauce:

  • Sour cream and mayo: Creamy base for the sauce. Use dairy-free options to make it vegan.
  • Hot sauce: For a little heat (optional, of course).
  • Garlic powder and paprika: Give the sauce a savory depth.
  • Lemon juice: Brightens up the flavors and adds a fresh kick.

Variations and Substitutions

There are so many ways to make this crunchwrap your own! Here are a few ideas:

  • Make it vegan: Swap out the cheese, sour cream and mayo for your favorite vegan alternatives, and you’ve got a completely plant-based meal.
  • Switch the protein: Not a fan of tofu? Try black beans, refried beans, or another meat substitute like plant-based taco meat if you prefer.
  • Add more veggies: Load up on extra veggies like sautéed bell peppers, avocado, or corn for added nutrition and flavor.

Tips and Tricks

  • Folding the crunchwrap: If your large tortilla isn’t big enough to fully fold around the fillings, you can add a small piece of another tortilla to cover the gap before cooking.
  • Get creative with fillings: Feel free to add whatever you like inside—avocado, salsa, beans, or even rice would all be delicious. Just try not to overfill so you can still fold the tortilla.
  • Another Tortilla Hack: If you don’t want to buy two different sizes of tortillas, just use the large burrito-sized ones. You can cut a smaller tortilla out of it using a sharp knife or even a large cookie cutter. Use the leftover pieces to make homemade tortilla chips!

  1. Any idea where to buy the large tortillas without tons of weird preservatives and chemicals to make them extra soft? My kids would love this but I never see large tortillas that I feel good buying!

  2. Any chance you can make a video of how to make these? I tried and I think the small tortilla I used for the middle was too big making it challenging to fold the large tortilla over the small one. Any chance you could specify tortilla size in inches for the small and large tortilla (for this I used a burrito size tortilla). My first try came out good but definitely could be better with some practice. I made a non vegetarian version with taco meat instead of tofu. Great option to combat “sandwich burnout” for lunch at our house. Love your recipes!

  3. Looks amazing!!! What can I substitute if I don’t have the Spanish sweet paprika?
    Thank you for all of your amazing recipes!!
