I am someone who eats breakfast every day, but for the weekends, I go all out for breakfast. I like a nice spread of all of my favorite things, including the occasional mimosa. This wrap is perfect for weekends when I have a little extra time to make breakfast, and I want a nice treat.

What's in the Crunchwrap
- Burrito Sized Tortilla
- Eggs
- Potatoes or Hashbrowns
- Bacon or Sausage (Try Air Fryer Bacon or Air Fryer Sausage)
- Creamy Taco Bell Sauce (Scroll below for the recipe and how to make it)
How to Make the Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Low heat is your friend! I often see people end up with burnt and brown eggs and it's usually because the eggs were cooked at too high a heat and temperature. No matter what type of stove you are using, gas or electric, keep that heat low the whole time.
When you see the eggs are reaching the texture you like, turn the heat off completely. If you have an electric stove you should move your skillet to another burner. Leaving it on the warm burner will continue to cook the eggs, which also results in the eggs burning.
Be sure to whisk your eggs really well prior to adding them to the pan. If this wasn't going in a crunchwrap (that already has cheese), I would add shredded cheese to the eggs while they scramble. You can do this if you wish!
What Type of Hashbrowns to Use
You can use whatever potatoes, shredded potatoes, or hashbrowns you like. When making this I used the frozen hashbrowns from Trader Joe's. They aren't something I use all of the time because they are cooked in vegetable oil. I air fry them while frozen for 9-10 minutes at 400 degrees, I make sure it's crispy.
How to Make a Breakfast Crunchwrap
Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Add hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, and cheese to a tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla to make pleats around the edges.
- Add an additional square sliced piece of a tortilla to seal.
- Sear or air fry.
What Type of Pan to Use to Get the Wrap Crispy
The best pan to use is a cast iron skillet. You can always count on it to deliver crispy edges for just about anything. You can also use a stainless steel pan. Those are also great for searing. In general, you want a pan that will sear well.
A tip to help with searing the wrap is to put something heavy over the wrap as it cooks in the pan. This will allow the wrap to really adhere to the surface and get really crispy. I usually place a cast iron over the wrap as it cooks since they tend to be heavy.
Air Fryer Instructions and Tips
You can air fry these if you wish. You can air fry them on 370 degrees for 6 minutes total. Flip halfway through at 3 minutes. You won't save any additional time air frying. For me, the wrap has more of a crunch when you pan sear it vs air frying.
Taco Bell Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
You can make your own Taco Bell sauce right at home using my Homemade Taco Bell Creamy Jalapeno Sauce recipe. If you keep a well-stocked spice collection in your pantry, you should have most, if not all, of the ingredients you will need. Scroll below to the recipe card for the ingredients you will need.
The great thing about making your own sauce is you can tailor it to suit your needs. I like for the level of spice in the sauce to be more on the medium side. If you prefer less spice and something milder, reduce the amount of jalapenos and cayenne pepper in the recipe. If you are looking for something really sweet, add more sugar or sweetener.

Calories in Wrap
The wrap has around 600 calories. You can easily reduce the calories by making each wrap with just 1 egg and/or omitting the cheese, etc.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 eggs Scrambled.
- 2 cooked whole hashbrowns or ½ pound/1 cup cooked shredded hashbrowns
- 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tortillas Burrito size works best
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Optional Taco Bell Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
- 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika Regular paprika is fine.
- ½ teaspoon sweetener or sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon finely chopped jalapeno
Instructions
- Lay 2 of the tortillas on a flat surface. You will use the third tortilla to slice into a small square necessary close and seal the crunchwraps when assembled.
- Layer the cooked food into the center tortillas. Start with the hasbrowns, eggs, bacon, and then cheese.
- Fold the tortillas along the edges to create pleats. You will notice a small area in the center that is exposed. Slice off a piece from the third tortilla you have on hand. Ensure it will fit over the gap.
Pan Sear Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil.
- Carefully pick up the crunchwrap and place it face down (the side with the extra tortilla strip) in the skillet.
- To anchor the wrap and to get it crispy, I place a heavy pan (cast iron) over the wrap once it's in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until brown.
- Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Cool before serving.
Air Fryer Instructions.
- Carefully pick up the crunchwrap and place it face down (the side with the extra tortilla strip) in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 6 minutes (flip halfway through) on 370 degrees.
- Cool before serving.

Tiffani Butler says
Ooooh I can’t wait to make this!!!!
staysnatched says
I hope you love them!
Sara says
Used this concept while we’re home on a snow day. Omitted the hash brown and made them into burritos. Taco Bell sauce was 👌🏻. This will definitely be a repeat breakfast option!
staysnatched says
I have them on repeat, too.
Tiffany says
After a morning of shoveling snow this provided some much needed fuel. Easy ingredients, fun to make, and so delicious! Thank you always for your amazing recipes! This is how I will survive the winter⛄️
staysnatched says
Perfect for winter survival!
Jenny S says
Made this for my husband and I and DAMN, soooo good!!
staysnatched says
I’m glad you both enjoyed them!
Jillian says
The taste of these crunch wraps are so savory!! I used chorizo cause that’s what I had on hand and they hit the spot!
staysnatched says
That sounds so good!
Kristal says
Never getting crunch wraps from the drive through ever again!! These are so much better and you can customize any way you want! I’ve already made them by the recipe and also used sweet potato hash browns, chroizo and black beans for my other variation! And the sauce!! Phew! *chef’s kiss*
staysnatched says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.
Hattie says
Sooooo amazing! Made these this weekend and will continue to be a staple in our breakfast rotation! If I wasn’t working from home, they’d be a great breakfast to make before having to commute. Handheld and filling!
staysnatched says
I'm glad you will add it to the rotation.
Lindsay Argo says
This was so good! I couldn’t stop thinking about making this and after 3 days I finally did. It was crunchy and flavorful. I used sausage instead of bacon since that’s what I had on hand. I also had a small amount of refried beans to use to I tossed those in too instead of the hash brown. Very versatile and you can really put anything in it. Will make again.
staysnatched says
I'm so glad to hear you will make it again!
shauna says
I eat a lot of breakfast quesadillas but I have never thought of doing a breakfast crunch wrap. I enjoyed this a lot and it is easy to customize it. Don’t skip the sauce, it was my favorite part
staysnatched says
Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Tina says
Made this for dinner tonight (breakfast for dinner ftw!) - BOMB 🤤 don’t wait to make this, it’s soo good.

Perfect for dinner, too!

A hit that sticks! This was such a nice change from my usual breakfast. So quick and easy to out together. Very tasty and will be on repeat.

Charmari says
One word: BOMB!! So delicious and easy to make with food I normally have on hand. This will definitely be on repeat for breakfast and dinner.
staysnatched says
ha yes! That's the word you need.
Felicia says
Perfect breakfast!! I kept seeing everyone’s reviews on these and finally was able to give it a try! It did not disappoint. This was so easy to make and so good! I typically don’t eat condiments (don’t judge), but everyone raved about the sauce. It was so good! I didn’t have jalapeño so I’ll add that next time. This is definitely getting added to the meal rotation at my house. And if you have little ones that need to see all their food this is perfect because they can eat the same thing. Just don’t assemble it into the crunch wrap. Thanks for this great recipe!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Shauna J. says
This recipe was absolutely amazing! My hubby and kids loved them! We’ve never had the one from Taco Bell but I know for sure we definitely don’t need to now! Thanks for all you share (especially keto, Insta Pot, and and air fryer recipes)! I started following you a year ago when I was strictly keto and bought the books. Since then I’ve explored a lot of your other recipes and I have yet to be disappointed! Thanks for helping me keep my family guessing and our tummies full!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Erin says
I have made this quite a few time the couple weeks with guacamole on the side and it’s delicious! Simple and quick breakfast
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoy it.
Nek C says
PERFECTION, seriously! I liked how you can choose what meat you want. This Crunchwrap can be so versatile. This will be a staple in our house. I had one and wanted another one SO bad, but I’m trying to not be so greedy! 😩
staysnatched says
haha! So hard not to have two.
Raven says
Oooh this was delicious! I made this morning and it hit just right!
staysnatched says
I'm so glad to hear it!
Coby says
I made this for my family, and they loved it! My husband said it was a nice change of pace from a typical breakfast burrito. You dropped this recipe not long after I went vegan, and I knew I had to find a way to make a vegan version of it for myself so that I could enjoy it with my family. I did! I used plant based egg and cheese, regular old hash browns and a whole-grain tortilla; I even made a cashew-based Taco Bell sauce- following your recipe for the seasonings - and it was delicious! And, of course, being from New Mexico, we had to add roasted green chile to the wraps because we add green chile to everything!
staysnatched says
That sounds so good!
K. Sam says
A new fav breakfast. The sauce takes them up a notch. Love. Love. Thank you 😊
staysnatched says
Glad it's a favorite!
Veronica says
I would love to see a low carb version of this recipe… or “lower carb”
staysnatched says
It’s not on the agenda. Feel free to use your favorite low carb ingredients.
Savannah says
These tasted great! However, I think my tortillas were to small I found it impossible to wrap them without mushing up the hash brown so they were soggy.
staysnatched says
Correct, small tortillas don’t work for this recipe.
Gwen says
I am not the type to review recipes but THIS IS THE ONE. It is just as good if not better than the breakfast Crunchwrap at taco bell. I was buying them weekly at Taco Bell and now I make it at home with this recipe so you’ve just saved me a lot of money too. I followed the recipe as directed, no substitutions :). Thank you thank you thank you
staysnatched says
You're welcome!
