To assemble each crunchy wrap: Lay one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the cooked taco meat onto the center of the tortilla.
⏱️ 1 min - 6
Place one small hard taco shell directly on top of the ground beef. Spread about 2 tablespoons of sour cream evenly over the hard taco shell.

Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling, working your way around to create a hexagonal shape, ensuring all ingredients are enclosed. If needed, you can use a tiny bit of water on the edge of the tortilla to help it seal.
