how to make Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted for better control of seasoning)
- 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)
Directions:
Cheese Sauce Preparation: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is melted and well combined. Set aside.
Beef Cooking: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Tortillas Crisping: In another skillet, lightly toast the low-carb tortillas on both sides until they are warm and slightly crispy. This helps them hold the fillings better.
Crunchwrap Assembly: Lay one tortilla flat and spread a layer of the cheese sauce, followed by ground beef, lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, extra cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices (if using). Top with another tortilla.
Crunchwrap Cooking: In a skillet over medium heat, carefully place the crunchwrap seam side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip to cook the other side until golden brown and crispy.
Serving: Remove from the pan and let cool for a minute. Cut in half to reveal the colorful layers inside. Serve with additional sour cream or your favorite salsa.
