How to Make Easy Keto Beef Crunchwraps with Cheesy Sauce
- Step 1: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Step 2: Add taco seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: While the beef is cooking, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a low carb tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Once the cheese has melted, carefully fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape. Remove from skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Step 4: To assemble the crunchwraps, place a folded tortilla in the skillet. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the tortilla. Top with a dollop of dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream. Fold the tortilla over the filling, creating a burrito shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Step 5: Cook the crunchwraps in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
