Directions:

Cheese Sauce Preparation: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Pour in heavy whipping cream. Stir and bring to a low simmer. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar. Stir until the sauce is glossy and smooth. Keep warm on the lowest heat.
Beef Cooking: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef. Add a splash of water and stir until the spice coats the meat. Simmer one to two minutes. Turn off the heat.
Tortillas Crisping: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Warm each low-carb tortilla for 15–20 seconds per side. This makes them pliable. For extra crunch, toast each tortilla in a dry skillet for 30–45 seconds per side until it has light browning.
Crunchwrap Assembly: Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a quarter of the beef mixture into the center. Dollop a generous spoonful of cheese sauce over the beef. Add a few spoonfuls of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, extra cheddar, cilantro, and jalapeños if you like heat. Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling. Tuck and press to form a wrapped disc.
Crunchwrap Cooking: Add a little butter or oil to the skillet over medium heat. Place the folded crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook three to four minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until the cheese inside melts and the exterior is crisp. Repeat with remaining crunchwraps.
Serving: Let the crunchwraps rest one minute. Slice in half if you like. Serve warm with extra sour cream or a simple side salad. For a cozy dinner, I often pair these with a hearty side like my cowboy casserole.

Serve these right away for maximum crunch. Add fresh lettuce and cilantro at the end for brightness. Offer extra cheese sauce on the side. If you want a lighter starter, a quick 5-minute avocado toast makes a nice small plate before the main bite.

Use sharp cheddar for extra flavor. It melts beautifully.
Warm the tortillas before folding. They fold without cracking.
Keep the cheese sauce warm but off high heat. It stays smooth that way.

Cheesy kick: Mix pepper jack into the extra cheese for a bold bite.
Dairy-free: Use dairy-free cream cheese, a coconut cream base, and dairy-free shredded cheese.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these ahead and freeze them?
A: Yes. Cool completely, wrap each in foil, and freeze up to one month. Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F until heated through, then crisp in a skillet.

Q: Which low-carb tortillas work best?
A: Look for tortillas labeled low-carb or high-fiber. Almond flour tortillas and Carb Balance-style tortillas both fold well after warming.

Q: Can I skip the cream cheese in the sauce?
A: You can. The sauce will be lighter. Use extra heavy cream and cheddar, and whisk constantly to keep it smooth.

Q: How do I keep the tortilla from getting soggy?
A: Keep wet ingredients like sour cream and tomatoes near the center. Crisp the outside in a hot skillet right before serving.
