I’m a former Taco Bell employee, and I’m showing you how to recreate your favorite menu items at home. This week, we’re making the iconic Crunchwrap Supreme. It’s a little extra work, but you’ll get at least six for what it costs to buy two at the drive-thru—and you can load them up however you want. Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme (Taco Bell Dupe) Makes: 6 Crunchwraps Total Estimated Cost: ~$15.00 Cost Per Crunchwrap: ~$2.50 (compared to $5+ at Taco Bell) 1 lb ground beef – $4.00 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade) – $0.50 6 Old El Paso Grande 12” tortillas – $3.50 6 tostada shells – $2.00 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (Dollar Tree or Fritos dip) – $1.25-$3.00 1 cup sour cream – $1.00 1 cup shredded lettuce – $0.75 1–2 diced tomatoes – $1.00 Instructions: Warm your tortillas: The 12” tortillas are oversized and may not fit in your pan—just rotate them gently to warm. Assemble: In the center of each tortilla, add a scoop of taco meat and a spoonful of nacho cheese. Place a tostada shell on top, press gently, and give it a twist to spread the fillings. Layer with sour cream, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Fold: Starting at one edge, fold the tortilla up and over the center, then continue folding around in a circular motion until it’s sealed. Toast: Place the folded side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast until golden, then flip and toast the other side. Serve: Slice in half or enjoy as-is! #FakeoutFriday #CrunchwrapSupreme #TacoBellDupe #CopycatRecipe #EasyMeals #BudgetEats #TacoBellAtHome #homemadefastfoodrestutant #MealHack #FrugalCooking #tacobellsecrets #TacoNight #wevegottacobellathome

When I say it’s a $20 budget, I mean every dollar counts. It’s not about what you would add, it’s about what you’d have to give up to make room for it. That’s the reality for a lot of people. This isn’t a game of maximizing nutrition with imaginary money. It’s about making the best meal you can with the money you actually have. #DollarTreeMeals #BudgetCooking #FoodReality #StruggleMeals #LowIncomeMeals #AccessibleEating #BudgetChallenge #CookingOnABudget #RealLifeMeals #GroceryBudget

I used to work at Taco Bell, so I'm showing you how to make your favorites at home. Today, we are making the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito. It's not cheaper to make *just one*, but if this is your regular order, learning to DIY it can seriously save you over time.   You will need: 1 burrito-sized flour tortilla 1 taco-sized flour tortilla Nacho Cheese - Either Fritos Jalapeno Cheddar or Dollar Tree Jalapeno Cheddar (they are nearly identical) Refried beans (see my earlier Enchirito video) Taco seasoned ground beef (see my earlier Enchirito video) Sour cream Shredded cheddar cheese Warm your burrito-sized tortilla, then spread nacho cheese in the center.  Place the smaller tortilla on top and give it a twist to evenly distribute the cheese. Add refried beans, seasoned beef, sour cream, and shredded cheddar. Roll it up and enjoy! #tacobelldupe #beefy5layer #budgeteats #copycatrecipe #cheapmeals #tacobellathome #easydinner #budgetcooking #wevegotfoodathome #fakeoutfriday
