Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Make the cheese sauce and beef up to a day ahead, refrigerate them separately, and assemble just before crisping. Making it ahead often makes serving easier and lets the flavors settle naturally.

What if I only have regular tortillas?

Regular tortillas work fine. They may not be as low in carbs, but they crisp and hold the filling equally well. Watch the heat since regular flour tortillas can brown faster.

How do I keep the tortillas from tearing when folding?

Warm the tortillas briefly before folding to increase pliability. If they still tear, overlap a second tortilla or use a light smear of cheese sauce along the edge to act as a glue.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes. Use certified gluten-free low-carb tortillas or almond flour tortillas to keep it gluten-free. Check your taco seasoning to ensure it is gluten-free as well.

Is the cheese sauce necessary?

The cheese sauce adds creaminess and helps everything adhere inside the crunchwrap. You can skip it if you prefer, but expect the texture to be a bit different and less cohesive.

Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 4 ounces cream cheese and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until the sauce is glossy and pourable.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook until no pink remains. Mix in 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and simmer until thickened.
Warm a skillet over medium heat and toast each low-carb tortilla lightly on both sides until faintly golden but still pliable. Stack tortillas under a towel to keep soft.
Lay a warmed tortilla flat, spoon a ring of cheese sauce in the center, and layer seasoned beef, extra cheddar, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Fold tortilla edges toward the center, overlapping to seal the filling. Cook seam-side down in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden, then flip and crisp the other side.
Let each crunchwrap rest, then slice in half and serve with extra sour cream, salsa, or salad.

Notes

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a skillet. For freezing, wrap individually in foil and store in a freezer bag for up to one month.
