Preparation and cooking overview
Start by cooking the ground beef with taco seasoning, then set it aside. Next, make a keto-friendly nacho cheese sauce by melting shredded cheese with heavy cream in the microwave. Put together your crunchwrap by layering the beef, sauce, and fresh veggies on a low-carb tortilla, then fold it up nicely. Toast the wrap until it's nice and crispy.
Chef's note
Feel free to get creative with the filling of your homemade crunchwrap. You can go for a mix of beef and pork mince or even add some minced Mexican sausage. Whatever you choose, go light with the seasoning, especially the salt. The nacho cheese already brings a salty punch to the filling.

Chef's pro tip
Make sure not to pack too much into your keto crunchwrap so it stays neatly folded while toasting. Overlap the edges as you wrap it up. To keep everything in place, stick a toothpick through the top layer of the tortilla and slightly into the filling.

Very tasty and not terribly difficult. I would suggest draining the meat on a paper towel as they did end up a little greasy. Regular sized tortillas are a little tricky but the low carb brand I love (Hero) doesn't make burrito size which would be a ton easier.
