Instructions
Cheese Sauce Preparation

- Drain excess grease if necessary.
Tortillas Crisping
- In the same skillet, lightly toast the low-carb tortillas on each side until warm but not crispy.
Crunchwrap Assembly
- Take one tortilla and spread a layer of cheese sauce in the center.
- Add cooked beef, sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, extra cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño if desired.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla inward to create a wrap.

Serving
- Once cooked, allow the crunchwrap to cool slightly before slicing in half.
- Serve with additional sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
Notes
Ensure the tortillas are warm for easier folding and sealing. Experiment with different protein options, like ground turkey or even shredded chicken. Add some veggies like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
