Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Assemble the Crunchwrap
Place a low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with a portion of cooked beef, followed by shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, and onion. If you’re feeling saucy, add sour cream and salsa!
Seal the Crunchwrap
Top with another tortilla, pressing down gently to seal.
Cook the Crunchwrap
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place the assembled crunchwrap in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Flip the Crunchwrap
Carefully flip it and cook the other side until it turns golden brown, approximately another 3-4 minutes.
Serve
Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot.
How to Store It
