Ingredients:

  • For the Crunch Wrap:
    • 4 large low-carb tortillas (about 8 inches in diameter)
    • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning (check for low-carb options)
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 4 slices American cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
    • 1 cup shredded lettuce
    • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
    • 1/4 cup diced red onion
    • 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos (optional)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Chipotle Sauce:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chipotle Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Cook the Ground Meat:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Crunch Wrap:
    • Place a low-carb tortilla on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer a spoonful of chipotle sauce, followed by a quarter of the cooked ground meat.
    • Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the meat. If desired, place a slice of American cheese on top for extra creaminess.
    • Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped pickled jalapenos on top of the cheese layer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Fold and Cook the Crunch Wrap:
    • To fold the Crunch Wrap, start by folding the sides of the tortilla towards the center, overlapping each other. Continue folding in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction until the filling is completely enclosed and you have a hexagon-shaped wrap.
    • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunch Wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
    • Carefully flip the Crunch Wrap and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once cooked, transfer the Crunch Wraps to a cutting board. Slice in half and serve hot with extra chipotle sauce for dipping, if desired.

Additional Tips:

  • Low-Carb Tortillas: Choose tortillas that are specifically labeled as low-carb or Keto-friendly. Look for options made with almond flour, coconut flour, or a blend of both.
  • Customize Fillings: Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences. You can add avocado slices, bell peppers, or different types of cheese to suit your taste.
  • Cooking Method: If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can brush the outer surface of the Crunch Wrap with olive oil or butter before cooking.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the chipotle sauce and cook the ground meat ahead of time for quicker assembly when you’re ready to make the Crunch Wraps.
  • Freezing: While Crunch Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze assembled but uncooked wraps in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
