Recipe Details:

• Prep Time: 16 minutes
• Cook Time: 24 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Cuisine: Mexican
• Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 5 low carb, high fiber tortilla wraps
• 12 ounces 96% lean ground beef
• ½ cup onion, chopped
• Salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 teaspoons mustard
• 4 ounces reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 8 teaspoons dill gherkins, finely chopped
• 1 cup lettuce, chopped

Instructions:

1. Toast the Tortilla Quarters:
   Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cut 1 tortilla wrap into quarters and arrange the pieces in the skillet. Toast each tortilla quarter for about 1 minute on each side until crispy. Remove and set the quarters aside to cool to room temperature.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Once done, remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Crunch Wraps:
   Preheat the cast-iron skillet again over medium heat. Take one tortilla wrap and spray one side with cooking spray. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over the center of the wrap.
4. Layer the Ingredients:
   Spoon about ½ cup of the beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving about a 1½-inch border. Layer on top: ¼ cup shredded cheese, ¼ cup chopped tomatoes, 2 teaspoons finely chopped pickles, and ¼ cup chopped lettuce.
5. Assemble the Wrap:
   Place one of the toasted tortilla quarters on top of the layered ingredients. Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, creating pleats to cover the toasted tortilla. Carefully flip the wrap over and place it in the preheated skillet.
6. Toast the Crunch Wrap:
   Toast the wrap for 2 minutes on each side, pressing down occasionally with a spatula to help it crisp up. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients, making a total of 4 crunch wraps.

Tips and Tricks:

• Tortilla Choice: You can use any low-carb, high-fiber tortilla, but be sure to choose one that holds up well during toasting for the best texture.
• Customize the Filling: Feel free to add extra toppings like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even a small amount of pickled jalapeños for a spicy twist.
• Pressing the Wrap: When toasting, use a spatula to press down on the wrap occasionally to ensure it crisps evenly on both sides.

Storage:

• Refrigeration: Store leftover crunch wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or oven for the best results to maintain their crispiness.
• Freezing: These wraps can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap each individual crunch wrap in plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a skillet until crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use a different type of ground meat? Yes! Feel free to use ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based meat substitute to make this recipe work for your preferences.
• Can I make this recipe gluten-free? Absolutely! Simply use gluten-free tortillas, and the recipe will be entirely gluten-free. Double-check all other ingredients to make sure they’re suitable for your dietary needs.
• How can I make this spicier? Add a few dashes of hot sauce, jalapeños, or some chili flakes to the beef mixture before assembling the wrap. You can also use spicy mustard for an extra kick!
• What’s the best way to reheat these wraps? Reheat your crunch wraps in a skillet over medium heat or in an oven (wrapped in foil) for the crispiest results. You can also use a microwave, but the texture won’t be as crispy.
