Cheese Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Stir continuously until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Once creamy, gradually mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and glossy. Keep the cheese sauce warm on low heat while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off excess fat, then sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate skillet, pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Carefully add small low-carb tortillas, frying them one at a time for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Lay a large low-carb tortilla flat and start layering with a generous scoop of the cooked ground beef, followed by a drizzle of the cheese sauce, a crispy tortilla, and a dollop of sour cream. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and any optional jalapeño or cilantro, ensuring to leave room around the edges to fold.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Place the assembled Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Carefully flip and repeat on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes
Ensure your cheese sauce is warm but not boiling; this keeps it smooth and prevents curdling. Sauté beef until nicely browned, and drain any excess fat. Avoid overfilling to prevent messy Crunchwraps. Fry tortillas until golden and slightly puffed for the best crunch. Hold edges tightly when folding to seal them well. For leftovers, reheat in a skillet for optimal crunchiness.
