Ingredients

2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted for better control of seasoning)
4 ounces Cream Cheese (can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese)
1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (use coconut cream as a low-carb alternative)
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp cheddar for a more robust flavor)
1 pound Ground Beef (can substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (use homemade or low-sodium versions)
4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (brands like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
1 cup Sour Cream (substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1 cup Lettuce (shredded iceberg or romaine)
1 medium Tomato (can replace with bell peppers or omit for fewer carbs)
1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (consider adding pepper jack for extra spice)
1/4 cup Cilantro (substitute with parsley if you’re not a fan)
1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional spicy addition)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil (any cooking oil can work)

Instructions

Step 1: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted to create the cheese sauce.
Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown the beef for 5-7 minutes, then drain excess fat. Mix in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning until well combined.
Step 3: In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry each low-carb tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Lay one crispy tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the seasoned beef in the center, then pour warm cheese sauce over the meat. Add a small tortilla on top, then dollop with sour cream, lettuce, diced tomato, and extra cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling, securing the fold seam-side down. Heat the skillet again with a little olive oil and place the folded crunchwrap in the pan.
Step 6: Cook the crunchwrap for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7: Remove the crunchwraps from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Cut in half and serve warm, topped with cilantro and optional jalapeño slices.

Tips & Variations

Use homemade taco seasoning to control sodium and customize spice levels.
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
Add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and omit cheddar or use a vegan cheese alternative.
Try adding sautéed bell peppers or onions with the beef for additional flavor and texture.

Storage

Store leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness, or microwave briefly, though the tortilla may soften. For best results, reheat covered in a skillet with a little oil.
