Description
A crunchy, cheesy twist on a favorite fast-food item, perfect for a low-carb diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 cup Extra Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cup Cilantro
- 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Pour in heavy whipping cream and heat gently. Stir in shredded cheddar until the sauce is thick and smooth. Keep warm.
- Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart. Cook until browned and no pink remains. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Stir and simmer 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each low-carb tortilla 30–45 seconds per side until warm and flexible. For a crisp tostada layer, spray or brush one side of a tortilla with a little oil and cook until crisp. Set aside.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a spoonful of cheese sauce in the center. Add a layer of seasoned beef on top of the sauce. Place the crisp tortilla or a handful of extra cheddar over the beef for crunch. Spoon sour cream, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and jalapeños as you like. Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center to form a sealed pocket.
- Heat a skillet with a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Place the folded crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and sealed, pressing lightly with a spatula.
- Let rest 1 minute, then cut in half if you like. Serve warm with extra sour cream or salsa.
Notes
Warm tortillas before folding to prevent cracking. Keep cheese sauce warm for easier spreading.
