STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Cheese Sauce Preparation

1. First, in a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
2. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients well until smooth. Set aside for later use.

Beef Cooking

1. Over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil to your skillet.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef.
3. Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up as you cook. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once the beef is cooked, add taco seasoning and mix well. Follow package instructions for the seasoning.
5. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors blend. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

Tortillas Crisping

1. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and heat it on medium-low.
2. Place one low-carb tortilla in the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until it is lightly crisp on one side.
3. Flip the tortilla and crisp the other side. Remove it from the pan and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Crunchwrap Assembly

1. On a crisped tortilla, spread a layer of the cheese sauce in the center.
2. Add a layer of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cheese sauce.
3. Next, add a small dollop of sour cream, followed by shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, extra cheddar cheese, and cilantro.
4. If you like spicy, add jalapeño slices now.
5. Finally, place another tortilla on top, pressing down slightly.

Crunchwrap Cooking

1. With the crunchwrap assembled, return it to the skillet on medium heat.
2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
3. Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
4. You may need to press down with a spatula to ensure it crisps up well.

Serving

1. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.
2. Cut in half to reveal the delicious layers inside.
3. Serve with extra sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
