Description
A low-carb version of the classic crunchwrap, packed with cheesy sauce and satisfying textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted)
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (Dairy-free optional)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (Coconut cream as alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Sharp cheddar preferred)
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Ground chicken or turkey as substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Homemade or low-sodium)
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (Mission Carb Balance or almond flour)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (Greek yogurt as lighter option)
- 1 cup Lettuce (Shredded iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (Bell peppers as alternative)
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (Pepper jack for spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (Parsley as alternative)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (Any cooking oil)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream, whisk, and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in shredded cheddar until melted and glossy.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Cook ground beef, breaking it apart until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, simmer 1-2 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a skillet for 10-20 seconds per side until pliable.
- On each tortilla, spread cheese sauce, add cooked beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, extra cheddar, cilantro, and jalapeños.
- Fold the tortilla edges toward the center to seal the filling.
- In a skillet, heat a small smear of butter or oil. Cook crunchwrap seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Let cool for 1 minute before slicing in half and serve hot with extra sour cream or salsa.
Notes
For best texture, prep components ahead and assemble before cooking. Keep lettuce crunchy by adding just before serving.
