How to Make It
Start creating your keto crunchwraps by following these simple steps.
Prepare cheese sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and then mix in cream cheese and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
Cook beef
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and taco seasoning, cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain extra fat if necessary.
Crisp tortillas
Wipe the skillet clean and turn the heat to medium-low. Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. Remove and set aside. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Assemble crunchwrap
Spread a layer of cheese sauce on a tortilla, then add a scoop of seasoned beef, followed by sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, another layer of extra cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices if using. Fold the edges of the tortilla inwards to create a wrap.
Cook crunchwrap
Place the assembled crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.
How to Store It
Fridge: 3-4 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: yes, wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Reheat: microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Tips for Best Results
- For a crunchier texture, cook the tortillas longer before assembly.
