Description

Delicious Keto Crunchwraps that bring traditional Tex-Mex flavors into a healthy, handheld delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 4 low-carb tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup jalapeño slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Craft the Creamy Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, then use a whisk to blend until creamy and smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, continuing to work until fully melted and silky. Keep warm off the heat.
  2. Prepare the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula. Brown it for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, draining the excess fat. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and mix well, allowing the spices to coat the beef evenly. Remove from heat.
  3. Fry the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and slightly crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  4. Assemble Your Crunchwrap: Lay one crispy tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the seasoned beef mixture into the center, then drizzle warm cheese sauce over the top. Add a dollop of sour cream, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of extra cheddar cheese.
  5. Wrap it Up: Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling to create a hexagonal wrap, making sure it’s well sealed.
  6. Cook Your Crunchwrap: Reheat the skillet with a splash of olive oil, then place the assembled Crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let the Crunchwraps rest for 1 minute before slicing in half. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing seasoned beef and cheese sauce a day before serving. Experiment with different low-carb tortillas and fillings for variety.
