# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese Sauce

01 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
02 - 4 ounces cream cheese
03 - 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
04 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

→ Beef Filling

05 - 1 pound ground beef
06 - 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

→ Wraps

07 - 4 low-carb tortillas
08 - 1 cup sour cream

→ Toppings & Garnishes

09 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
10 - 1 medium tomato, diced
11 - 1 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese
12 - 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
13 - 1/2 cup jalapeño slices

→ For Cooking

14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Directions:

01 - Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and keep warm.
02 - In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart, for 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and mix well. Set aside.
03 - Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Fry each tortilla for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Lay one crispy tortilla flat. Add a portion of seasoned beef mixture to the center. Spoon warm cheese sauce over the beef. Layer sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and extra cheddar cheese on top. Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling to form a hexagonal wrap.
05 - Reheat the skillet with a little olive oil if needed. Place the assembled Crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and sealed.
06 - Let the Crunchwraps rest for 1 minute. Slice in half. Garnish with chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices as desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about Tex-Mex flavor without the carb crash afterwards
  • The cheese sauce alone is worth keeping this recipe in your back pocket
02 -
  • The cheese sauce thickens quickly as it cools, so keep it warm and whisk it right before spooning onto the beef
  • Overfilling is the enemy of a good crunchwrap, so use a lighter hand than you think you need
03 -
  • Place a small circle of tortilla in the center before folding to create that authentic crunchwrap crunch layer
  • Letting assembled crunchwraps sit for 5 minutes before the final fry helps the tortilla soften slightly and fold better without tearing
