What you need

  • Burrito Size Flour Tortillas – You’ll notice the size difference in most grocery stores, they’ll have the different available sizes next to each other. Buy the large ones because they need to wrap around everything.
  • Tostada Shells – These are crunchy baked tortillas that might remind you of the texture of a tortilla chip. Also readily available in most grocery stores, but you might find it in the “international foods” section.
  • Eggs – Scrambled and cooked to however you like your scrambled eggs.
  • Breakfast Sausage Patties – Cooked from fresh or frozen, either work. If you prefer bacon, try these with crispy cooked bacon.
  • Hash Browns – These come in either patty, diced potatoes, or shredded potatoes. Any of the varieties will work, but we opt for the diced potatoes for this recipe.
  • Bell Peppers – The peppers add some color, flavor and nutrition. We suggest cooking them with hash browns. You could also add onions, spinach, or any vegetables you like.
  • Monterey Jack Cheese – We recommend shredded from a block rather than pre-shredded, if you can. It melts better and is cheaper. You can also substitute with cheddar.

How to make it

Before you begin: Pre-cook your hash browns and sausage and scramble your eggs. Shred the cheese, and dice the bell peppers.

Take one of the flour tortillas and carefully rip it into quarters. You’ll need these four pieces to help fill in the gap that the tortilla can’t quite reach when you wrap up the crunchwrap. It’s kind of like when you cut a piece of wrapping paper too small, you need just another little piece. It’s like a patch.

Place a scoop of the scrambled eggs in the middle of one of the whole flour tortillas, leaving plenty of room around the sides to fold the tortilla in. Next, sprinkle some of the shredded cheese over the eggs and top with some of the sausage patties.

Place the tostada shell on top of the sausage and cover it with the hash browns and bell peppers. 

Steps to filling a breakfast crunchwrap.

Place a quarter of the ripped flour tortilla right in the middle on top of the toppings. Fold in the outer edges of the large tortilla, pleating the edges as you go.

Carefully transfer to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until lightly browned before flipping and cooking the other side until each side is browned. Repeat steps for each of the remaining crunchwraps.

Tip: a cast iron press is very helpful to hold the crunchwrap down, so it doesn’t unwrap while cooking.

How to make these crunchwraps your own

  • Sauté some onions along with the peppers.
  • Swap the breakfast sausage patties for breakfast sausage links, crispy bacon, sliced turkey, or ham for a different protein option.
  • Omit the meat completely for a vegetarian breakfast crunchwrap. Add canned black beans, rinsed and drained, if you like.
  • If you find they are too large for your kids, use medium wraps instead and use less of the filling.
  • For some heat, drizzle with Frank’s Red Hot sauce or toss in some diced jalapenos.

Make Ahead Ideas

The prep work can be done ahead of time. Cooking the hash browns, sausage, and even scrambling eggs can streamline the process to make everything even easier. Dicing the peppers and shredding the cheese is also something that can be done in advance.

Storage Suggestions

Leftover crunchwraps can be a bit tricky to store because the flour tortilla tends to get soggy. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container but be aware it might not be the same the next day.

Reheating Tips

Reheat crunchwraps on the stove or in the toaster oven. If you have enough to turn on the oven, you can do that too. Microwaving is not recommended as it might cause them to get soggy or too soft.

  • Place the tostada shell on top of the sausage and cover with the hash browns and bell peppers.
