How to Make Easy Keto Beef Crunchwraps with Cheesy Sauce
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and drained. Season with taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Step 2: Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and heavy cream to make the cheesy sauce.
- Step 3: Place a large piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spoon the beef mixture onto the parchment, shaping it into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the cheesy sauce over the beef, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Step 4: Fold the parchment paper over the beef mixture, creating a packet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Carefully open the parchment and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with your favorite toppings.
