This is actually Better Than Taco Bell<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in college, I truly loved a bean burrito from Taco Bell. It was vegetarian\u2014made with cheddar, beans, sweet onions, and taco sauce. They were cheap, filling, and always hit the spot. In fact, when the Crunchwrap first came out, I ordered it with only beans\u2014and it was delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I went years without eating out at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the day I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. I ordered a Crunchwrap, bit into it… and threw it away. It didn\u2019t taste the same. It tasted like poison. I ordered a bean burrito too, and it just wasn\u2019t right. I don\u2019t know what changed\u2014but I figured it was me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I no longer take pleasure in ordering out. I\u2019d rather make the foods I love myself. So, in true Samara fashion, I set out to recreate them. And to my delight, they were easy to make\u2014and tasted so much better to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I still buy my corn and flour tortillas. I know I need to learn to make them myself. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s hard, but I\u2019ll need a tortilla press and a bigger skillet to do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is really easy if you already have my beef substitute<\/strong>, taco seasoning<\/strong>, taco sauce<\/strong>, and sour cream<\/strong> prepared. You could even make your own plant-based cheddar, but lately I\u2019ve been using Violife<\/strong>. Actually any plant-based substitutes should work with this recipe, but this plant-based Crunchwrap features this site\u2019s beef substitute, seasoned with homemade taco spices and mild taco sauce. It\u2019s layered with a crunchy corn tortilla, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and a rich dairy-free sour cream, all sealed up in a crispy golden wrap using a hot skillet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, life has been so busy lately, I hardly have time to do the things I love, but I took a few moments to share this with you, and I hope you enjoy it. And now without further ado, I\u2019m sharing it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
