If you like the Crunchwrap Supreme from a local fast-food chain, then you’ll absolutely love this Tasty 7 Layer Quesadilla Wrap. While it’s somewhat of a copycat, it’s so much better. Tasty 7 Layer Quesadilla Wrap is not at all doughy, and you can actually taste the yummy ingredients!
While you could use different fillings for this amazing quesadilla wrap, I chose to use my go-to taco meat.
My go-to taco meat uses only three basic ingredients plus some water. The three ingredients are ground beef, my DIY taco seasoning and Rotel Original Tomatoes and Green Chilies.
You could certainly use store-bought taco seasoning in this recipe. However, making your own is super easy. In addition, it’s so much better and you know exactly what’s in it.
Some might object to rinsing the cooked ground beef because of washing away flavor. However, you’re also washing away residual grease.
I’ve found that the real flavor of the taco meat comes from the taco seasoning and the Rotel tomatoes.
I added the taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes and water to the ground beef and stirred to combine everything. Then, I cooked the mixture for about 20 minutes until most of the liquid had evaporated.
Here’s What You’ll Need for the 7-Layer Quesadilla Wrap
- The Wrap: For the wrap, I used 10-inch flour tortillas and 6-inch flour tortillas.
- The 7-Layers: The 7-layers consisted of store-bought salsa con Queso, taco meat, triangular corn chips or tortilla chips, sour cream, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- I started with a 10-inch flour tortilla. For the first layer, I spread about a 6-inch circle of the salsa con Queso on the flour tortilla.
Then, I spread about a half a cup of the taco meat on the salsa con Queso.
- Next, I arranged the triangular tortilla chips on top of the taco meat. Then, I spread some sour cream on the tortilla chips.
- For the fifth layer, I added some shredded iceberg lettuce. Then, I added some diced tomatoes for the sixth layer.
- For the final layer, I sprinkled on some shredded Colby Jack cheese.
Finishing the Tasty 7 Layer Quesadilla Wrap
Before wrapping the 10-inch tortilla, I topped the 7 layers with a 6-inch flour tortilla. Then, I wrapped the 10-inch tortilla around the filling in a hexagon shape.
I heated a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Then, I added the wrapped quesadilla, seam-side down. I cooked it for about 3 minutes until it started to brown. Next, I flipped the wrapped quesadilla over and cooked it for another 3 minutes or so until the other side started to brown.
I transferred the browned quesadilla wrap to a cutting board and cut it in half before serving it with a side salad.
Talk about good! The Tasty 7 Layer Quesadilla had the perfect amount of each of the fillings. It was a bit spicy, and absolutely delicious. Yum!
You can definitely substitute ground turkey for the ground beef in this recipe. In fact, I often use ground turkey instead. The reason is that the ground turkey tends to me more tender.
Feel free to use your favorite taco meat in this recipe.
Mexican blend cheese can be substituted in this recipe. Also, you can use Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, or whatever cheese you have on hand.
It’s best to serve the 7-Layer Quesadilla Wrap after it’s been assembled and browned. The reason is that the flour tortilla will become somewhat soggy, and the tortilla chips will lose their crunch.

Slice the steak into thin slices across the grain. To assemble the quesadilla wraps, place a flour tortilla onto a clean work surface; spread with sour cream and top with green chilies.

How do you make a quesadilla in a pan?
Fold each quarter over the next, working clockwise around the tortilla. I added the cheese in the middle to help seal the tortilla together. Continue to fold the tortilla until you have a small quesadilla-sized triangle and all of the fillings are inside. Once you have the tortilla all folded up, place it in a hot pan, griddle or panini press.

What can you put in a quesadilla?
“Queso” is cheese in Spanish. A quesadilla is a heated tortilla with melted cheese inside. But in addition to cheese, you can put practically anything in a quesadilla . My favorites are mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and onions. I don’t cook these ingredients first, but it really is a matter of taste. You could if you wanted to.
