I make these Griddled Cheesesteak Crunchwraps whenever I want something crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. I combine seasoned beef, sautéed peppers and onions, melty cheese, and crunchy tostadas inside a toasted tortilla for a satisfying meal that feels like a mix between a cheesesteak and a crunchwrap.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how easy these crunchwraps are to prepare with simple ingredients and minimal cleanup. The outside becomes golden and crispy on the griddle while the inside stays juicy and cheesy. I also like how customizable the filling can be depending on what I have in the kitchen. These crunchwraps work perfectly for lunch, dinner, or even game-day snacks.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak or shaved beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 large flour tortillas
4 tostada shells
1/2 cup queso cheese sauce
1 tablespoon butter for griddling
Directions
I heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
I add the sliced onions and bell peppers, then cook them for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
I push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the shaved beef.
I season the beef with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
I cook the beef for about 4 to 5 minutes until browned, then mix it together with the vegetables.
I warm the tortillas slightly so they fold more easily.
I spread about 2 tablespoons of queso cheese sauce in the center of each tortilla.
I layer the beef mixture on top, followed by provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, and a tostada shell.
I carefully fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center to create a sealed crunchwrap shape.
I melt the butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
I place the crunchwraps seam-side down and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
I slice them in half and serve them hot.
Servings and Timing
Servings: 4 crunchwraps
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Variations
I sometimes swap the beef for thinly sliced chicken for a lighter version. I also like adding sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor. When I want a spicier crunchwrap, I mix hot sauce into the queso. Pepper jack cheese also works really well for more heat.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, I place them in a skillet or air fryer for a few minutes so the tortilla stays crispy. I avoid using the microwave because it softens the outside too much.
FAQs
Can I make these crunchwraps ahead of time?
I usually prepare the beef and vegetable filling ahead of time, then assemble and griddle the crunchwraps fresh when ready to eat.
What cut of beef works best?
I prefer ribeye or shaved steak because it cooks quickly and stays tender.
Can I use a different cheese?
I often use cheddar, pepper jack, or American cheese depending on the flavor I want.
How do I keep the crunchwrap sealed?
I make sure not to overfill the tortilla and always place it seam-side down first on the hot griddle.
Can I freeze these crunchwraps?
I freeze them individually wrapped in foil for up to 2 months. I reheat them directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer.
