How to Make It
Here’s how to whip up these amazing crunchwraps in just a few steps.
Melt
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, whisking continuously until smooth and creamy. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
Cook
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef. Break it apart and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning until evenly mixed.
Fry
In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry each low-carb tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Assemble
Lay one large crispy tortilla flat. Spread the seasoned beef in the center, pour warm cheese sauce over the beef, then place a small tortilla on top. Add dollops of sour cream, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and extra cheddar cheese over the small tortilla.
Fold
Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling, making sure to seal well with the folded edges facing downward.
Cook Again
Heat the skillet again with a bit of olive oil, and place the folded Crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and heated through.
Serve
Remove the Crunchwraps from the skillet and let them rest for one minute. Cut each Crunchwrap in half and serve warm, topped with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, best eaten fresh for texture.
Reheat: Use a skillet on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
