Tostada Shells

Line a plate with paper towels.

Assemble the Crunchwrap

On a cutting board, place a large tortilla and top with a small plate (four to five inches / ten to twelve centimeters). Cut around the plate to make smaller circles. Repeat with three more tortillas; set aside.
8 large burrito-size tortillas
On a large tortilla, layer ¼ cup (35 gram) beef, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, a tostada shell, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and Colby Jack cheese. Top with a trimmed tortilla circle.
8 ounce Colby Jack cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 1 small head iceberg lettuce, 2 Roma tomatoes
Fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center to form pleats. Invert to hold shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Cook

In the same large skillet over medium-low heat, add remaining oil. Place crunchwraps seam-side down and cook five minutes, until golden brown.
Flip and cook the other side until golden. Transfer to serving platter.
Let cool slightly, cut in half, and serve warm with dipping sauce.
