Yeah. So, we’re going to replace tomatoes uh because we’re not big tomato fans with some Hatch chilies. Yeah, it’s going to be delicious. We’re also making.
A vegetarian version for Christina and when I was a vegetarian and I would go to Taco Bell. I would always substitute meat for reffried beans. I don’t trust the Taco Bell meat. We don’t. No, but we have mixture. Your reffried beans are vegetarian and gluten-free. Of course, if you have those two dietary requirements, right? You can also We’re.
Using dairy, but you can also use dairyfree sour cream, dairyfree cheese, whatever you want. You can put whatever you want in them. Exactly. That’s the beauty of it. But Christina actually has experience making crunch wraps at a local place. Yeah. I used to work at a vegan crunch wrap like restaurant. So, but I would make the big ones. But, um,.
So I know how to fold them. So, yeah. Show us how to do it. I’m using my skills. So, okay. We have our toppings. Toppings. We’ve got lettuce, sour cream, hatch chili, shredded cheese, and reffried. The traditional crunch wrap has queso, but you can use whatever you have on hand. We would make crazy crunch wraps at the.
Place I worked. So, we would do like buffalo mac and cheese. It was all vegan, not gluten-free, but it was all vegan. Um, we do some crazy stuff. So, what we’re going to do to the side. Oh, yeah. Can y’all see? Can y’all see? Okay. So, we’re going to put a little bit of the reffried bean on the bottom so that the little um.
Chippies can stick. And then we’re going to do three little flat chips. Corn tortilla chips. Yep. Traditionally, you use a tostada in the middle, but we’re making them small. Sammy’s ready for a crunch wrap. He wants one. This is what it’s going to look like. Then on top you can put all your.
Toppings. So now that the little the little chippies are going to stick, you can do some well actually you can do sour cream. So that makes sense. Put on top the little chip. Little sour cream. Some lechuga lettuce. My friends at the Crunch Wrap place would teach me Spanish, so I credit.

Okay. Master Class. Watch this. one this way. This way. The the also something that I would find is because we would like chop our own lettuce, if you make them too big, the little bits poke. So, make sure you have really finely shredded lettuce. Okay. So, another 90°. Look at that.
The flip. Oh, it’s a little pentagon. Oh, maybe not hexone. Yeah. Well, sometimes it ends up a little bit different. Okay. I saw some people put cheese like on the bottom so to make it stick. You could do that. We’re just going to lay it seamside down. Yeah. And then you flip it. Okay. Ready? Wow.
Yum. Listen to that sizzle. I would make some crazy crunch wraps. I would stuff them crazy, too. Like I would push the limits and then sometimes they’d break and I’d have to remake them. But that looks good. We get started on another one. Do you want everything? Yeah. Okay. tortilla. This looks really good. I’m very excited. A crunch wrap is.
Probably my dream uh food. My dream fast food. I like cannot eat them anymore because I ate so many when I worked. Like literally all kinds of crunch wraps, too. Yeah, there was like cuz we did the Uber Eats. So, there was people that had like 500 orders. Wow. So, I knew when I saw their name, I said, “Okay, they want a buffalo crunch wrap.
With uh grilled chicken. Cool.” So, I would start making that and I could That’s the nice thing about having regulars. You get to know everybody and what they like. Yeah. And like literally I could make if it was a regular and I like knew exactly what they were getting, it was done in 2 minutes. Boom. Bam. Done. I I got really.
