How to Make Keto Crunchwraps

Prepare the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add cream cheese and heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and creamy. Keep warm for assembly.

Cook the Beef

Heat ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart. Cook 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, then mix in taco seasoning until evenly combined.

Crisp the Tortillas

In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry each low-carb tortilla 1–2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Crunchwraps

Lay a large tortilla flat. Spread seasoned beef in the center, pour warm cheese sauce over, add a small tortilla on top, then dollop sour cream and layer lettuce, tomatoes, and extra cheddar cheese. Fold edges of the large tortilla over the filling, seam-side down.

Cook the Crunchwraps

Heat skillet with olive oil. Place folded Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and heated through. Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, then cut in half. Garnish with cilantro and jalapeño slices.

Tips for Success

• Keep cheese sauce warm during assembly to prevent clumping.
• Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
• Press edges gently when folding to keep the Crunchwrap intact.
• Use low-carb tortillas that hold shape well.
• Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

Variations

• Spicy Crunchwrap: Add extra jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
• Cheese lovers: Mix cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack.
• Chicken or turkey option: Swap beef for cooked ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
• Veggie-packed: Add sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or spinach to the filling.
• Keto bowl alternative: Skip the tortilla and layer ingredients in a bowl for a “deconstructed” version.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a simple side salad or avocado slices for extra freshness.
• Serve with keto-friendly salsa or guacamole for dipping.
• Add a wedge of lime for a bright, zesty touch.
