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 as low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Beef Filling
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or ground chicken/turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or low-sodium)
Crunchwrap Assembly
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (e.g. Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup Shredded Lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (or substitute with bell peppers or omit)
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (or pepper jack for spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (or parsley)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or any cooking oil)
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 consistently until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined, then set the sauce aside.
- Beef Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 pound of ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain the excess fat, then mix in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning thoroughly to coat the beef evenly. Remove from heat.
- Tortillas Crisping: In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry each of the 4 low-carb tortillas for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until they turn golden and slightly crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Crunchwrap Assembly: Lay one large crispy tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into the center of the tortilla. Pour warm cheese sauce over the beef, then place a small tortilla on top of the cheese layer. Add a generous dollop of sour cream, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and extra cheddar cheese.
- Crunchwrap Cooking: Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling toward the center, tucking to make a sealed wrap with the seam side down. Return the skillet to medium heat, add a little olive oil if needed, and cook the folded Crunchwrap seam-side down for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and sealed. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes for even crispiness.
- Serving: Remove the Crunchwrap from the skillet and allow it to rest for one minute. Cut it in half on a diagonal and serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and optional jalapeño slices for an extra spicy kick.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Use low-carb tortillas specifically designed for keto or low-carb diets to keep carb counts low.
- Substitute ground chicken or turkey for ground beef if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño slices to control spiciness or omit entirely if desired.
- Homemade taco seasoning can reduce sodium content and allow flavor customization.
- Letting the Crunchwrap rest before cutting prevents the filling from spilling out.
- Leftover cheese sauce can be refrigerated and used with eggs or vegetables.
