  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup salsa (sugar-free)

For the Low-Carb Tortillas:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp water

For the Veggies:

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato (diced)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)

For the Keto Sauce (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the Low-Carb Tortillas:

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion between two pieces of parchment paper into thin circles, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.
  • Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Crunch Wraps:

  • Lay one of the low-carb tortillas flat on a work surface.
  • In the center of the tortilla, spread 1/4 cup of sour cream.
  • Top with 1/4 of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
  • Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced black olives (if using), and sliced jalapeños (if using).
  • Spread a thin layer of salsa over the veggies.

4. Fold the Crunch Wrap:

  • Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling, creating pleats as you go around to form a sealed wrap. Ensure all edges are folded in to enclose the filling completely.

5. Cook the Crunch Wraps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped crunch wrap seam-side down in the skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese inside has melted. You may need to press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

6. Prepare the Keto Sauce (Optional):

  • In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder.
  • Stir until smooth and well combined. Serve as a dipping sauce or drizzle over the crunch wraps.

7. Serve:

  • Cut the crunch wraps in half if desired and serve immediately with the optional keto sauce and extra salsa on the side.

8. Store Leftovers:

  • Store any leftover crunch wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to retain crispiness.
