Cheese Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (or canned coconut milk as alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (low-carb or dairy-free shreds)
Beef Filling
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or ground turkey/chicken for leaner option)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
Assembly & Garnishes
- 4 Low-Carb Tortillas (under 5 net carbs each)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- Shredded Lettuce (or spinach/arugula)
- 1 medium Chopped Tomato (or pico de gallo)
- Cilantro (optional)
- Jalapeño (optional, omit for milder version)
- Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and glossy. Keep the sauce warm on low heat.
- Cook the ground beef: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, cooking and breaking it up for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, then add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to develop flavor. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Fry the small tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Fry the small low-carb tortillas one at a time for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel.
- Assemble the Crunchwrap: Lay a large low-carb tortilla flat. Layer with a scoop of cooked ground beef, a drizzle of cheese sauce, then a crispy small tortilla, and a dollop of sour cream. Add shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and optional jalapeño or cilantro, leaving space around edges for folding.
- Cook assembled Crunchwrap: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better flavor control.
- Dairy-free cream cheese or shredded cheese can be used to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Canned coconut milk is a good substitute for heavy cream in dairy-free versions.
- Adjust spice levels by omitting jalapeños for a milder taste.
- Try ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet for best texture.
