Ingredients

For the seasoned meat filling

1 pound ground beef use 80/20 for best flavor
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water to moisten the taco seasoning

For assembling the crunch wraps

4 large low carb tortillas 8 inch to 10 inch, about 3 to 5 grams net carbs each
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomato seeds removed to reduce moisture
1 medium avocado diced or mashed into guacamole
1/2 cup sour cream full fat
1/3 cup low sugar salsa check label for no added sugar
2 tablespoons butter for toasting the wraps, or use more olive oil

Optional toppings

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime cut into wedges for serving
1/4 cup crushed pork rinds for extra crunch inside the wrap, optional

Instructions

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for a few seconds per side until pliable, then cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and cook while breaking it up with a spatula until browned and cooked through.
Drain excess grease if needed, then stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and water and simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the meat is well coated in seasoning.
Turn off the heat and let the seasoned meat cool for a few minutes so it is warm but not piping hot when assembling the crunch wraps.
Prepare the fillings by shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomato and avocado, and setting out the cheddar, mozzarella, sour cream, salsa, and crushed pork rinds if using.
Lay one warm low carb tortilla on a work surface and sprinkle a layer of cheddar and mozzarella in the center, leaving a border around the edges for folding.
Spoon a portion of the warm seasoned meat over the cheese, then add a small handful of crushed pork rinds if you want extra crunch.
Top the meat with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado, a spoonful of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa, keeping the fillings stacked in the center so the tortilla can fold around them.
Fold the top edge of the tortilla over the center, then continue working around the tortilla, folding in sections toward the middle to create a tightly wrapped hexagon shape with no gaps.
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to make all of the crunch wraps.
Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and place two crunch wraps seam side down in the skillet, pressing gently with a spatula to help them seal.
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, then carefully flip and cook the other side until crispy and the cheese inside is melted, adjusting the heat as needed so they do not burn.
Transfer the cooked crunch wraps to a plate, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and repeat to toast the remaining crunch wraps.
Let the crunch wraps rest for a minute, then cut in half if desired and serve warm topped with extra salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

To keep these crunch wraps strictly keto, choose low carb tortillas with about 3 to 5 grams net carbs each and a salsa that has no added sugar. For meal prep, cook and season the meat up to 3 days ahead and store in the refrigerator, then reheat gently and assemble just before toasting so the wraps stay crisp. Leftover assembled crunch wraps are best reheated in a dry skillet over medium heat until the exterior is crisp again, and they should be eaten within 3 days. You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the beef, and adjust the spice level by adding cayenne pepper or using a hotter salsa.
