Cheese Sauce
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Crunchwrap Filling
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 2 tsp Taco Seasoning
- 4 tbsp Sour Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Lettuce
- 1 small Tomato (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Wrap and Cooking
- 4 large Low-Carb Tortillas
- 4 Small Street-Taco Size Low-Carb Tortillas
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil (Divided)
- Prepare Cheese Sauce: Add the butter, softened cream cheese, and heavy whipping cream to a food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Transfer this mixture to a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts and becomes a smooth sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts evenly into the sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep the dish keto-friendly and prevent greasiness. Add the taco seasoning and stir well, allowing the meat to absorb all the spices. Sauté for a couple minutes until fragrant and well combined.
- Toast Small Tortillas: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet. Lightly toast each small taco-sized low-carb tortilla until they become crispy and golden. Remove from heat and set aside for assembling the crunchwraps.
- Assemble Crunchwraps: Lay a large low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, spread a layer of the cooked seasoned ground beef, then spoon some of the warm cheese sauce over the meat. Place one toasted small tortilla on top of the cheese sauce. Spread a tablespoon of sour cream over the small tortilla, then layer with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold and Cook Crunchwraps: Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla inward towards the center to encase all the fillings completely, creating a sealed wrap. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Place each folded crunchwrap seam-side down into the skillet. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully to crisp both sides. Remove from skillet and serve warm.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning based on your spice preference.
- For extra crunch, you can add crushed pork rinds inside instead of or in addition to the toasted small tortillas.
- Serve with extra sour cream or salsa for added flavor.
- To store leftovers, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to retain crispiness.
