How to Make Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted for better control of seasoning)
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (Can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (Use coconut cream as a low-carb alternative)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Sharp cheddar for a more robust flavor)
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Can substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Use homemade or low-sodium versions)
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (Brands like Mission Carb Balance or almond flour tortillas)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 cup Lettuce (Shredded iceberg or romaine)
- 1 medium Tomato (Can replace with bell peppers or omit for fewer carbs)
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese (Consider adding pepper jack for extra spice)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (Substitute with parsley if you’re not a fan)
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (Optional spicy addition)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (Any cooking oil can work)
Directions
- Cheese Sauce Preparation: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, stirring until smooth. Once melted, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until you have a creamy cheese sauce.
- Beef Cooking: In another skillet, heat a little olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Mix in taco seasoning and cook for a few more minutes until well combined.
- Tortillas Crisping: Bring a separate pan to medium heat. Add the low-carb tortillas one at a time, crisping them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly golden.
- Crunchwrap Assembly: On each tortilla, spread a layer of cheese sauce, followed by the cooked beef, sour cream, lettuce, diced tomato, extra cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño slices if using. Fold the edges of the tortilla inwards to create a pocket.
- Crunchwrap Cooking: Place the assembled Crunchwraps back in the pan, seam side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
- Serving: Serve the Crunchwraps hot with additional sour cream or your favorite salsa on the side.
How to Serve Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
These Crunchwraps are best served warm. You can pair them with a refreshing salad or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce. Each bite is a blend of flavors that will leave you feeling satisfied!
How to Store Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet to regain their crunch or microwave them for convenience.
Tips to Make Delicious Keto Crunchwraps
- For extra flavor, add spices like cumin or paprika to the beef while cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the filling; too much can make them hard to fold.
- Experiment with different toppings like avocado or olives for added taste.
Variations
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, you can replace the ground beef with sautéed veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms or crumbled tofu. This keeps the Crunchwraps flavorful and satisfying.
