How to Make It

Let’s dive right into crafting these delectable crunchwraps!

1. Prepare the cheese sauce

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add cream cheese and mix until smooth. Gradually stir in the heavy whipping cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

2. Cook the beef

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning, cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease as needed.

3. Crisp the tortillas

In a separate skillet, lightly toast the low-carb tortillas for about 1–2 minutes on each side until they become slightly crispy. This helps them hold the ingredients better.

4. Assemble the crunchwraps

On each tortilla, layer the beef mixture, cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, extra cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.

5. Cook the crunchwraps

Fold each tortilla into a wrap, ensuring the filling is securely tucked inside. Place the crunchwraps seam-side down in the hot skillet and cook for 2–4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve

Slice each crunchwrap in half, and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping.

How to Store It
