Crunch Wrap Supreme

For those of you who don't know C, he loves Taco Bell.  Loves might not be strong enough of a word to be blunt.  Whenever we talk about where we want to go grab dinner Taco Bell is always thrown in the mix.  I have a different view of Taco Bell... like it was good around 2am coming home from the bar 4 years ago, not as much on a Tuesday night at 7pm.  Either way, I saw this homemade recipe for a Taco Bell favorite and thought I'd make it as a surprise.  It turned out really good!
Brown beef in a skillet over medium high heat.
Add taco seasoning according to package directions, and set aside.
Bake the corn tortillas one at a time for around 10 seconds to warm them up, this will make the wrapping easier.  Lay out the flour tortilla and spoon some of the beef into the center.  Top with the cheese, either nacho or shredded, I used nacho.
Place the crunchy corn tortilla on top of the beef and cheese.  Spread a dollop of sour cream on top then toss in lettuce and tomatoes.
Starting with the bottom of the tortilla, fold the edge up to the center.  Continue doing this in a movement all around the tortilla until the filling is entirely enclosed.  Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and heat to medium.  Carefully place the wrap seam side down in the pan.  Press with a spatula and cook for around 3 minutes until brown, then flip over and cook for another 3 minutes.
I served with a topping of homemade guacamole, because that's makes everything taste so much better in my opinion!  These were really delicious.  I think C thought they were pretty close to what Taco Bell has, and I didn't mind them either because I could actually see the ingredients being used ;)  This is a quick dinner that everyone will enjoy.
