Description
Mini Crunch Wrap Sliders are handheld bites packed with crunchy, melty, and tangy flavors, perfect for weeknights or game day.
Ingredients
- Small flour tortillas (6–8 inch)
- Crispy tostadas or store-bought tortilla chips
- Cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, or seasoned plant-based crumble (about 1 lb)
- Refried beans or mashed black beans (1 cup)
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend — 2 cups)
- Lime crema (1/2 cup)
- Pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes & onions (1 cup)
- Chopped lettuce or shredded cabbage (1 cup)
- Oil or butter for skillet
- Optional toppings: pickled jalapeños, sliced avocado, cilantro, hot sauce, or a squeeze of lime
Instructions
- Prep your mise en place. Lay out tortillas, warm the refried beans slightly, shred the cheese, and have the crispy tostadas or chips ready.
- Build the base: Lay one tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans in a circle at the center.
- Add the protein and cheese: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of cooked meat (or plant crumble) over the beans, then add a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Add the crunch: Place a whole mini tostada or a handful of tortilla chips on top of the cheese.
- Top it off and fold: Spoon pico de gallo and a drizzle of lime crema over the chip layer. Fold the edges of the tortilla up toward the center.
- Crisp in the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil or butter, then place the folded slider seam-side down in the skillet.
- Rest and finish: Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel for a minute and finish with a squeeze of lime or cilantro.
Notes
For extra crispiness, brush the top of the tortilla with oil before skillet-cooking. Use a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan for best results.
