Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (or coconut cream as low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or ground chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or low-sodium version)
Tortillas & Crisping
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (e.g., Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or any cooking oil)
Toppings & Assembly
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 1 cup Shredded Lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (can be substituted with bell peppers or omitted)
- 1 cup Extra Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or pepper jack for spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (or parsley)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional)
- Cheese Sauce Preparation: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is homogenous.
- Beef Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 pound of ground beef. Break it up using a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until the beef is well browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning evenly through the meat. Cook for an additional minute to combine flavors, then remove from heat.
- Tortillas Crisping: In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry each low-carb tortilla individually for about 1-2 minutes per side until they turn golden and slightly crisp. Once fried, transfer tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Crunchwrap Assembly: Place one large crispy tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, spread an even layer of the seasoned beef mixture, then pour warm cheese sauce over the beef. Place a small tortilla over the cheese sauce, followed by dollops of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a generous amount of extra shredded cheddar cheese.
- Crunchwrap Cooking: Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling towards the center, creating pleats to fully enclose the filling with the seam facing down. Heat the skillet again with a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded Crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is heated through.
- Serving: Remove the Crunchwraps from the skillet and let them rest for one minute. Cut each Crunchwrap in half and serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and optional jalapeño slices for an extra kick.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better control over seasoning in the cheese sauce.
- Substitute cream cheese with dairy-free options to make recipe dairy-free compatible.
- For a lower-carb cheese sauce, coconut cream can be used instead of heavy whipping cream.
- Low-carb tortillas from brands like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour varieties help keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Ground chicken or turkey can substitute beef for a leaner option.
- Homemade or low-sodium taco seasoning reduces excess salt in the dish.
- Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a lighter alternative without sacrificing creaminess.
- Omitting tomato or replacing with bell peppers can lower carb content further.
- Jalapeño slices are optional but add a nice spicy touch.
- Ensure the Crunchwrap seam is sealed well when folding to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
