We’ll show you how easy it is to make a vegan crunchwrap supreme! The Taco Bell copycat recipe veganized tastes even better than the original!
If you’ve ever been to Taco Bell then you know a crunchwrap supreme is like the best of the taco world. With both soft and crunchy shells, you get it all. Today, we are going to show you how to make it a vegan crunchwrap supreme.
Taco Bell is surprisingly one of the best major fast food restaurant chains to hit up if you are vegan.
Many of their items can be made vegan and you aren’t going to be charged a ton extra just because you make some swaps.
That said, sometimes, things like this vegan crunchwrap supreme need to be veganized at home to get the full experience since Taco bell doesn’t have a vegan nacho cheese or sour cream option.
It’s so easy to make these vegan Taco Bell copycat crunchwrap supremes and you will absolutely love this vegan copycat meal idea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this vegan crunchwrap supreme Top 8 Allergen Free?
Yes!
Use a gluten free tortilla shell to start. For the vegan meat – use something that is soy and gluten free like Lightlife vegan ground meat.
You can use a vegan sour cream that meets your allergens or omit entirely.
As far as the nacho cheese, you just need to use a soy free vegan butter.
Can I prep vegan crunchwrap supremes ahead of time?
We actually don’t recommend doing this. Feel free to prep everything like the vegan meat mixture, chopped the tomatoes, and making the vegan nacho cheese; however, we don’t advise actually putting them together because the tostada layer will get soggy.
Does it matter what type of taco seasoning that I use?
Honestly, no. We personally love either making a homemade taco seasoning blend or the one from Trader Joe’s if buying.
If you do want a more authentic Taco Bell taste, then you may want to use the Taco Bell taco seasoning packets that are sold in stores.
Can I sub out the processed vegan meat crumbles for something more plant based?
Absolutely! We know not everyone likes vegan processed meat substitutes. Feel free to sub this out with black beans, tofu, TVP, mushrooms, and more.
Our vegan walnut taco meat is a great option if you can have nuts. If you can’t, we recommend checking out our vegan tofu taco crumbles.
Great creatives and let us see what you create!
Can I add other toppings besides what you include?
Of course. A traditional crunchwrap supreme at Taco Bell contains nacho cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. But feel free to swap out and add or omit things as desired.
Black beans, avocado, jalapenos, salsa, etc are just a few other ideas that you could add in to make these even better or different to suite your needs!
