If you’ve ever made a homemade Crunchwrap on a Blackstone and felt personally attacked by how hard it is to fold, same. That’s why this version, made on the Blackstone griddle and stuffed with budget-friendly Aldi finds (hi Clancy’s cheese chips), is my new go-to. I love it cause it's easy to fold, easy to cook, and a whole lot cheaper than Taco Bell. Homemade food is better that fast food restaurants anyway.
This recipe skips the wasteful extra tortilla on top and still gives you that golden crispy outside with a perfectly sealed Crunchwrap you can actually pick up and eat without a mess. Let’s make ‘em.
These don't look the greatest but I will retake a photo of them soon. I just used what I had on hand to make them and I these would be great with sour cream or lettuce.

❤️ Why You’ll Love These Crunchwraps
- Budget-friendly and full of flavor – everything came from Aldi, including the crunch layer!
- No awkward folding drama – crushed chips make sealing a breeze.
- Grilled to perfection on the Blackstone for that crispy, toasted finish.
- Customizable with whatever protein or veggies you’ve got on hand.
- I've tested other copy cat recipes at home too like these Air Fryer Mexican Pizza (Taco Bell Copycat) or Casey's Breakfast Pizza Recipe (CopyCat)
🛒 Ingredients Needed for Crunchwraps
Here’s what I used—but feel free to tweak it
- 1 lb ground beef – I use Aldi’s grassfed ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning
- 4 Burrito-size flour tortillas – warm them a bit to make folding easier
- ½ Shredded Mexican cheese – melts perfectly inside
- 1 cup Clancy’s cheese chips and Cheese Sauce – crushed slightly for that crunchy center
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce – for that fresh bite
- Diced tomatoes – or use a fresh salsa
- Avocado or Greek yogurt – in place of sour cream
- Optional: diced onions, jalapeños, or your favorite hot sauce
🧠 Jenna's Tip No beef? Swap in seasoned ground turkey, shredded rotisserie chicken, or even black beans for a vegetarian version.
🔥 How to Make Crunchwraps on the Blackstone
Step 1 Cook the beef in a skillet or on your Blackstone if you prefer fewer dishes. Season with taco seasoning and set aside. Check out this post for How to Cook Ground Beef
Step 2 Assemble your Crunchwraps: Spread some cheese sauce over the the middle of the tortilla. Then add a scoop of beef.
Step 3 Layer crushed Clancy’s cheese chips on top (don’t skip this!) Add Cheese, Greek yogurt, avocado, or any creamy element
Step 4 Fold the tortilla inward, working in sections to form a hexagon. Skip the “extra tortilla” hack—this folds up just fine on its own.
Step 5 Grill on the Blackstone: Place seam-side down and press gently with a spatula or grill press. Cook until golden brown, then flip and repeat.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overstuff. It’s tempting, but too much filling makes it hard to seal.
- Use a press to help seal the Crunchwrap shut on the hot griddle.
- Make ahead by prepping the filling and storing it in the fridge.
🥗 Serving Suggestions
- Pair it with a simple side salad or grilled veggies on the Blackstone
- Add a spicy dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or salsa verde
- Serve with a cold lime seltzer or homemade agua fresca to keep it fresh
Blackstone Crunchwraps FAQs
Absolutely! Use a large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan and cook over medium heat.
Nope! Clancy’s cheese chips work better in my opinion—easier to fold, less waste, and more flavor.
Warm tortillas + don't overstuff + pressing them seam-side down first = sealed success.
