Method
- Prepare the Meat: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions.
- Make Cheese Wraps (Optional): If using cheese wraps, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) onto the skillet in a circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Cook until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown around the edges. Carefully lift the cheese wrap with a spatula and set aside to cool slightly. Repeat for the remaining cheese wraps.
- Assemble the Crunchwraps: Lay out one tortilla (or cheese wrap) on a flat surface.
- Layer 1: Spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the tortilla.
- Layer 2: Top with a generous spoonful of the seasoned ground beef.
- Layer 3: Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Layer 4: Top with a smaller tortilla or a crispy tostada shell. If using a small tortilla, brush it lightly with oil and bake at 350F for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
- Layer 5: Spread mashed avocado on top of the smaller tortilla or tostada.
- Layer 6: Top with Monterey Jack cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced red onion. Add a drizzle of keto-friendly hot sauce, if desired.
- Fold the Crunchwrap: Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla towards the center, pleating as you go to create a hexagon shape.
- Seal the Deal: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little cooking oil or spray. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently press down on the Crunchwrap while it's cooking.
- Serve and Enjoy! Cut the Crunchwrap in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Don't overfill the crunchwraps to avoid difficulty in folding. Warm tortillas slightly before folding to prevent tearing. Experiment with different keto-friendly fillings like cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or different cheeses. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness. Microwaving is not recommended.
