Paleo Crunchwrap Supreme

When I was ditching fast food chains out of my vocabulary, Taco Bell was the hardest! Even when I was a vegetarian during high school, I would get two - cheesy, bean and rice burritos every Wednesday for four years! No joke!

Now, it’s seldom that I get “fast food cravings” but when I do, yo quiero Taco Bell!

So when I made the trip back to Georgia, the cravings came wafting back as I passed by the thousands of “Taco Bell” logos on the food interstate exit markers.

Okay, maybe an exaggeration but this was also the same time that food bloggers were recreating the famous “Crunchwrap Supreme”. So with all this taco bell talk, I had to re-create my own!

Now, it’s seldom that I get “fast food cravings” but when I do, yo quiero Taco Bell!

So when I made the trip back to Georgia, the cravings came wafting back as I passed by the thousands of “Taco Bell” logos on the food interstate exit markers.

Okay, maybe an exaggeration but this was also the same time that food bloggers were recreating the famous “Crunchwrap Supreme”. So with all this taco bell talk, I had to re-create my own!

And to make this recipe super easy and fun, I used Siete Foods products for most of the ingredients. Now I know what you are thinking, that’s a lot of processed products! And yes, you are not wrong. Let’s be real here, I don’t think I ever had a recipe on the blog that had at least two processed products as an ingredient for a recipe.

But I wanted to show you that Siete Foods is a honest, family oriented health company that produces clean products, food allergy/sensitivity conscience, and that tastes freaking amazing!

With that said, this recipe is automatically paleo, grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free - win-win!

If you would like to try Siete Foods for the first time or would like to order all the products used for this recipe, send me a DM on Instagram or email: fromtherootsblog@gmail.com for 25% off your entire purchase!

Bonus recipe! Ever have the Watermelon Freeze at Taco Bell? Me either! Haha! With that said, I don’t know what it tastes like but I have seen pictures so if we want to go ALLL the way and ring that Taco Bell, then you can simply make a watermelon freeze by adding freshly pressed watermelon juice to the Creamy Coconut Lime Mint Frozen Margarita. I omitted the mint leaves and tequila to make this mocktail version.

Are you a visual person? Me too! That’s why I created a video on how to make Paleo Crunchwrap Supreme and watermelon freeze on IG reels here

Paleo Crunchwrap Supreme - Naturally full of flavor, fun, and food allergy/sensitivity conscience!

print recipe

Ingredients

Taco meat

1 lb grass fed ground beef (ground turkey or chicken)
1 packet Siete Foods taco seasoning (or low-sodium taco seasoning)
⅓ cup low-sodium bone broth or water

Crunchwrap

4 Siete Foods Grain-Free Burrito Sized Tortillas
4 Siete Foods Cassava Flour Tortillas
1 bag Siete Foods tortilla chips
1 jar Siete Foods cashew queso (or spicy queso)
2 cups spring mix greens
2 avocados
½ cup diced tomatoes
⅓ cup fresh salsa
Avocado oil
Avocado oil cooking spray

Garnish

Siete foods hot sauce

Makes 4 servings

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with avocado oil spray. Brown ground beef until cooked through, about 8 min. If you have excess fat from the beef, you can drain and place the skillet back on the stovetop. Add the taco seasoning packet and ⅓ cup liquid. Cook, stirring, until well combined and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 min. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Use this time to set up an assembly line of ingredients: burrito and normal size tortillas, cooked taco meat, chips, queso, greens, diced tomatoes, mashed avocados, and fresh salsa.
If you are using Siete Foods Burrito sized tortillas, it is best to follow this method to prevent tortillas from breaking:
1. Heat 1 tsp avocado oil in a very large skillet over medium high heat. Heat the burrito sized tortillas in the skillet for 10-15 seconds per side.
2. It’s all about timing and keeping the tortillas warm so you will be preparing each crunchwrap individually following this method before assembly. *So don’t heat all the burrito tortillas at once!
Transfer the burrito tortilla onto a large cutting board and scoop ⅓ cup of the taco meat into the center of the tortilla. Top with 1-2 Tbsp cashew queso. Gently place about a small handful of tortilla chips on top. (You could also use a tostada or normal size fried tortilla as a substitute) Top with ¼ cup or half avocado mash on top of the chips. Top with spring mix greens, diced tomatoes and fresh salsa.
Place the uncooked cassava tortilla on top and tightly fold edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating pleats.
Quickly invert crunchwrap so pleats are on the bottom and everything stays together.
Heat skillet with avocado oil spray or 1-2 tsp avocado oil on medium high heat and cook until the tortilla is golden and the seams are sealed together. Flip over and cook until the top is golden. Repeat with remaining crunchwraps. Serve with hot sauce or extra cashew queso and enjoy!

Peppermint Mocha Roll Ups

If you find seasonal drinks like Starbucks peppermint mocha or homemade hot cocoa with a peppermint stick intriguing during the holidays then look no further!

I have found a way where you can relive these amazing childhood Christmas moments without crashing from a sugar rush or hurting from tummy woes!

These roll ups are reminiscent of fried cheesecake sans refined sugar, traditional flour, rancid oils, and dairy - all with a seasonal twist! Made with only five natural ingredients, using avocado oil spray instead of deep-frying, and using healthier sugar-laden swaps, not only is this a healthy treat, but it shows you how easy it is to make healthy swaps when it comes to desserts!

Peppermint Mocha Roll Ups - A healthy and seasonal take on the classic fried cheesecake. Made with just FIVE ingredients that are rolled in the Christmas spirit! They are gluten-free, dairy-free, naturally low in sugar, and paleo-friendly (without candy cane!)

If you find seasonal drinks like Starbucks peppermint mocha or homemade hot cocoa with a peppermint stick intriguing during the holidays then look no further!

I have found a way where you can relive these amazing childhood memories without the sugar crash or tummy woes!

Now, these are peppermint mocha themed using peppermint extract, cacao powder, and instant coffee as the main ingredients but if you would like to switch out the flavor profile, feel free! For example, if you are caffeine sensitive, omit instant coffee.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

To make one roll up

1 cassava flour tortilla (or allergy/sensitivity tortilla of choice)
2 Tbsp Lactose-Free Plain Yogurt
1 tsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp cacao powder
¼ tsp instant coffee
A drop of organic peppermint extract
Avocado oil spray

Cacao Sugar Mixture

Cacao powder
Organic Cane Sugar (or maple/coconut sugar if Paleo)

Toppings

¼ cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Vegan white chocolate bar (omit if Paleo)
Organic Candy cane (omit if Paleo)
Fresh mint leaves

Directions

In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, syrup, cacao powder, coffee, and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
Place the filling mixture in the center of a tortilla and spread crosswise to form a long line of filling. For each roll-up, roll the side closest to you up over filling.
In a skillet, heat avocado oil to medium-high heat. Place roll ups in hot oil and fry on one side for 30-60 seconds. Turn roll ups until all sides are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and immediately sprinkle with the cacao-sugar mixture.
Set on a plate. Continue doing these steps if making more than one roll up.
For toppings, heat dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop until melted. Drizzle chocolate mixture over roll ups. If not paleo, add chopped white chocolate bark pieces and crushed candy cane. Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately!
