🧾 Ingredients (Makes 4 crunchwraps)

👨‍🍳 Instructions — Step-by-Step

1. 1 — Make the fathead dough:

   In a microwave-safe bowl combine 8 oz shredded mozzarella and 2 oz cream cheese. Microwave 30–45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 20–30 seconds until fully melted. Stir until smooth. Add 3/4 cup almond flour, 1 large egg, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until it forms a dough. If sticky, cool slightly and knead between two sheets of parchment to form a ball.

2. 2 — Roll tortillas:

   Divide dough into 4 (for larger wraps) or 6 (for smaller). Place a dough ball between parchment paper and roll to a 7–8 inch circle with a rolling pin. Transfer (with parchment) to a plate and repeat.

3. 3 — Cook tortillas:

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook each tortilla 1–2 minutes per side until set and lightly golden. Keep tortillas warm wrapped in a towel.

4. 4 — Make crispy cheese tostadas (the crunch):

   In a clean skillet, spread 2–3 tablespoons shredded cheddar into a thin 4–5 inch circle. Cook until edges brown and cheese crisps. Carefully flip once if needed. Remove and let cool — it will harden into a crunchy disc.

5. 5 — Prepare filling:

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, add garlic for 30 seconds, then add ground beef (or shredded turkey). Brown and crumble. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If using turkey, add a tablespoon of chicken broth to moisten. Simmer 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.

6. 6 — Assemble the crunchwrap:

   Place a warm fathead tortilla on a flat surface. Put the crispy cheese tostada in the center, add ~1/4 of the meat on top of the tostada, sprinkle some shredded cheddar, add lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a spoonful of sour cream. Fold the tortilla edges up over the filling in pleats until sealed in the center (it’s okay if it looks rustic).

7. 7 — Seal & crisp:

   Heat a skillet with a little butter or oil. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and press lightly with a spatula. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until the seams stick and the outside is golden and crisp. Serve immediately with lime wedges and cilantro.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the tortillas ahead?

Yes — cool completely, stack with parchment between, and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a skillet before assembling.

Is the cheesy tostada necessary?

The tostada provides the signature crunch. If you want fewer calories/fat, swap for a thin cabbage leaf or pork rind, but the experience differs.

Can I freeze assembled crunchwraps?

Freezing is possible but the texture changes. For best results, freeze the cooked components separately and assemble fresh.
