Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (or coconut cream)
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Beef Filling
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or ground chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or low-sodium)
Tortillas
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (e.g., Mission Carb Balance, almond flour tortillas)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for frying)
Toppings and Garnishes
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup Shredded Lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (or bell peppers, optional)
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (or pepper jack for spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (or parsley)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional)
Instructions
- Cheese Sauce Preparation: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined into a rich cheese sauce.
- Beef Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pan. Stir in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning evenly to flavor the beef mixture.
- Tortillas Crisping: In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry each low-carb tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove and let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Crunchwrap Assembly: Lay one large crispy tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the seasoned beef mixture in the center. Pour warm cheese sauce over the beef, then place a small tortilla on top. Add a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous sprinkle of extra cheddar cheese.
- Crunchwrap Cooking: Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling so that it encloses everything with the seam facing down. Reheat the skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium heat and carefully place the folded crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
- Serving: Remove the crunchwrap from the skillet and let it rest for one minute to firm up. Cut it in half for easier eating. Serve warm, topped with fresh cilantro and optional jalapeño slices for some extra heat.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas such as Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- Substitute cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives for a lactose-free version.
- Switch ground beef with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter protein option.
- If you prefer less spice, omit jalapeño slices.
- For a lighter topping, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
