COPYCAT CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME

If you are a fan of the Crunchwrap Supreme from the famous fast food chain then you've come to the right place. Not only can you make it at home for the fraction of the price, the beef is actually present. I always get my beef on sale and make 4 at a time but wrote this up for 1 serving to suit your individual needs. Serve with taco sauce if desired.
