how to make Keto Crunchwraps
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (Choose a brand that crisps well.)
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Can substitute ground turkey or chicken.)
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (Opt for vegan cream cheese if desired.)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Use your favorite cheese for melting.)
- 1 tablespoon Seasonings (e.g., taco seasoning, salt, pepper) (Adjust to taste.)
- 1 cup Shredded Lettuce (Provides a refreshing crunch.)
- 1 cup Crushed Pork Rinds (Great for extra crunch.)
- to taste Hot Sauce (For added spice.)
Directions:
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Add cream cheese and seasonings to the beef in the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese melts and everything is combined.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the beef mixture in the center.
- Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, and crushed pork rinds. Drizzle hot sauce if you like it spicy.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center to create a wrap.
- In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook until golden brown on one side. Flip and cook the other side until crispy.
- Remove from the pan, let it cool slightly, and then slice in half to serve.
