Taco Bell might not be necessary for my cell function, but it is necessary for my self-function.
At first, I wondered, where does the crunch in breakfast Crunchwrap come from?
Unlike the regular Crunchwrap, there is no tostada in the breakfast version.
Rest assured, the great minds at TB got it figured out.
This morning wrap contains scrambled eggs, cheddar, bacon, and a crispy hash brown patty.
Nothing you cant find at your nearest big box grocery store.
The only other thing missing to give it that authentic Taco Bell flair is the perma-liquid cheese sauce.
Its as important as the mozzarella in a caprese salad, or the monocle on Mr. Peanut.
For that crucial ingredient, I grabbed a jar of Tostitos Salsa con Queso.
I air fried mine at 375F for 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through.
Leave it in there for another couple of minutes if you prefer a crispier potato.
Add a pinch of salt.
This encourages everything in the scramble to cool together.
The cheese will set a little and make it easier to fold the Crunchwrap in the next step.
Lay out a 10-inch flour tortilla.
Place the crispy hash brown dead-center.
Smear a heaping tablespoon of salsa con queso onto the potato patty.
Pile the scrambled eggs on top and start pleating the tortilla over and around the filling.
Its not a beauty contest.
(But this breakfast wrap would win.)
Over medium-low heat, add the Crunchwrap to your pan, pleats down, and press firmly.
Toast for about two minutes, lifting the bottom occasionally to see how its browning.
Flip to the other side, adding oil if needed.
Toast for another two minutes, and enjoy immediately.
Whisk the eggs in a cup.
Pile the egg curds together in the center of the pan to cool while you prepare the Crunchwrap.
Place the crispy hash brown in the center of a flour tortilla.
Spread the queso dip on top of the potato patty.
Add the scrambled eggs to the top of the hash brown.
Pleat the tortilla over and around the fillings.
Add the Crunchwrap to the pan, pleat-side down.
Toast for about two minutes, lifting the bottom occasionally to check for color.
Flip the wrap, press, and toast for another minute or two.
