Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (can use coconut cream as a low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp cheddar preferred)
Filling
- 1 pound Ground Beef (can substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or low-sodium versions recommended)
Wrap
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (brands like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
Toppings & Garnishes
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded (iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (can replace with bell peppers or omit for fewer carbs)
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (option to add pepper jack for spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (can substitute with parsley)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional)
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (any cooking oil can work)
- Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the cream cheese and whisk continuously until smooth and creamy. Gradually stir in the heavy whipping cream and shredded cheddar cheese, continuing to whisk until the cheese melts completely and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef Filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water if needed, cooking until the spices are well distributed and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Crunchwraps: Lay a low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a few spoonfuls of the cheese sauce in the center. Add a generous layer of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cheese sauce. Next, place a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, extra cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices (if using) over the beef. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
- Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up towards the center, overlapping to seal the filling inside and create a wrap shape. Press gently to secure the folds.
- Cook the Crunchwraps: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped crunchwrap seam side down onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the fillings are heated through. Use a spatula to carefully flip and press the crunchwrap as it cooks to maintain shape and achieve an even crispness.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and let the crunchwraps cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro or jalapeños if desired. Enjoy your crunchy, cheesy keto crunchwraps fresh and warm.
