Ingredients Needed
For the Creamy Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese (can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (coconut cream as a low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (for robust flavor)
For the Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground chicken/turkey)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade or low-sodium for healthier option)
For the Crunchwrap Assembly:
- 4 pieces low-carb tortillas (like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 cup sour cream (Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium tomato (or replace with bell peppers for fewer carbs)
- 1 cup extra cheddar cheese (add pepper jack for extra spice)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (parsley if you’re not a fan)
- 1/2 cup jalapeño slices (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)
How to Make Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
- Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Gradually stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook until all the ingredients are combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Brown the meat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until well combined.
- Crisp the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toast each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until lightly crisped. This adds structure to your wraps.
- Assemble the Crunchwrap: On each crisped tortilla, spread a generous amount of the cheese sauce, followed by a portion of the seasoned beef, a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes (or peppers), extra cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices if using. Fold the edges of the tortilla inward to create a wrap, making sure everything is sealed inside.
- Cook the Crunchwrap: In the same skillet used for the tortillas, add a bit of oil and place the assembled crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serving: Slice the crunchwrap in half and serve directly with a side of extra salsa or guacamole if desired.
Serving and Storage Tips
These Keto Crunchwraps are best served fresh and warm. For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness or in the microwave for a quick warm-up.
Helpful Notes
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to mix and match fillings based on your preferences. Add avocado, olives, or jalapeños for even more variety.
- Make It Vegetarian: Substitute the meat with black beans or lentils for a hearty veggie option.
- Freezer-Friendly: You can freeze assembled crunchwraps and reheat them when you’re ready for a quick meal.
