What You’ll Need

- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (Use coconut cream as a low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Sharp cheddar for a more robust flavor)
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Can substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Use homemade or low-sodium versions)
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (Brands like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 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 (Consider adding pepper jack for extra spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (Substitute with parsley if you’re not a fan)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (Optional spicy addition)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (Any cooking oil can work)
Let’s Make It Together
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the process of crafting these mouthwatering crunchwraps!
Cheese Sauce Preparation: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, stirring until smooth and creamy. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Remove from heat once creamy and combined.
Beef Cooking: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water. Cook for another few minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the flavors are well combined.
Tortillas Crisping: In a separate skillet, heat the low-carb tortillas for a minute on each side until warm and flexible. This helps prevent tearing during assembly.
Crunchwrap Assembly: Spread a generous spoonful of cheese sauce on the center of each tortilla. Top with the seasoned beef mixture, a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes (or other veggies), and a sprinkle of extra cheese. If you like some heat, add jalapeño slices and cilantro before folding.
Crunchwrap Cooking: Fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a pocket. In the skillet, place the folded side down and cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serving: Slice in half to reveal the delicious layers inside and serve with additional toppings if desired. These crunchwraps are best enjoyed fresh, hot, and with a sprinkle of love!
Delicious Variations to Try
Want to mix things up? Here are a few tasty ideas to customize your crunchwraps and keep every bite exciting:
- Zesty Chicken: Swap the ground beef for zesty shredded chicken mixed with ranch seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- Veggie Delight: Go meatless by using sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, and black beans for a hearty vegetarian option.
- Creamy Avocado: Add slices of creamy avocado for a lush, buttery texture that complements the crunch.
- Spicy Twist: Drizzle some sriracha or hot sauce inside for an extra kick that spice lovers will adore!
