Ingredients
Method
- Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt it.
- Add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream to the saucepan and whisk until completely smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth; reduce the heat to low to keep warm.
- Place a large skillet over medium high heat and add the ground beef.
- Cook the beef for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until no pink remains.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning until the beef is evenly coated; taste and add salt if needed, then turn the heat to low to keep warm.
- In a separate large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
- Place one low carb tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisp, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate; repeat with remaining tortillas, adding a small splash of oil if the pan looks dry.
- Lay one crisp tortilla flat on a cutting board and spoon one quarter of the seasoned ground beef into the center, leaving a 1 to 2 inch border.
- Spoon some warm cheese sauce over the beef, using about one quarter of the sauce.
- Add a dollop of sour cream over the cheese sauce, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, extra shredded cheddar cheese, and jalapeño slices if using.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, working around in a circle to create a tight, enclosed wrap with the seams meeting in the center.
- Place the skillet back over medium heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Set the folded crunchwrap seam side down in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the surface is golden and crisp.
- Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes until crisp and heated through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then cut in half; repeat assembling and cooking with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm, topped with chopped cilantro and extra jalapeños if desired.
Notes
- Keep the cheese sauce over low heat and do not let it boil to prevent separation.
- If the cheese sauce thickens too much, whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons of heavy cream until smooth.
- Assemble the crunchwraps right before crisping so the tortillas stay as crisp as possible.
- For easier flipping, use a wide spatula and support the crunchwrap gently with your hand or a second spatula.
