Ingredients
For the Cheese Sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp low-carb taco seasoning
For the Crunchwrap Assembly
- 4 large low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato (diced)
- 1 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- Fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
- Pickled jalapeño slices (optional)
Method
Preparation of Cheese Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the softened cream cheese and heavy cream, whisking until smooth.
- Lower the heat and mix in the shredded sharp cheddar until melted and glossy. Keep it warm.
Cooking the Beef
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for 5–7 minutes, until browned.
- Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until it thickens.
Preparing the Tortillas
- In a clean skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Lightly fry each low-carb tortilla for 1–2 minutes on each side until they become crisp.
- Drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Crunchwraps
- Take one tortilla and lay it flat.
- In the center, add the seasoned beef, drizzle with the cheese sauce, sprinkle extra cheddar, and add sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and optional jalapeños.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center, overlapping to completely enclose the filling.
- Flip it seam-side down and cook it in the skillet, pressing gently, for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
- Slice in half, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with extra sour cream.

Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is softened for a smoother cheese sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning based on your spice preference. If you like things extra crispy, you can cook the crunchwraps a little longer on each side.
