Ingredients
Scale
Wrap
- 1 low-carb tortilla or cheese-based wrap
Filling
- 1/2 cup cooked ground beef (or shredded chicken)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons guacamole
- 2 tablespoons salsa (sugar-free)
- 1/4 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
Instructions
- Season the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until heated through and well combined, enhancing the flavors.
- Prepare the Cheese Wrap (if using): If opting for a cheese-based wrap, lightly melt the shredded cheddar cheese in a non-stick pan to form a circular shape resembling a tortilla. Allow it to cool until pliable but still flexible enough to fold.
- Assemble the Burrito: Place the low-carb tortilla or prepared cheese wrap on a flat surface. Layer the seasoned meat evenly over the wrap, then add shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it tightly from one end to the other, making sure the filling is secured inside.
- Serve: Serve the burrito warm straight from the skillet or wrap, or chill it if preferred. Enjoy your quick, keto-friendly meal!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with coconut milk–based sour cream and omit the cheese.
- You can replace ground beef with ground turkey or a vegetarian meat substitute as preferred.
- To lower the calorie count, skip the sour cream and add extra salsa for moisture and flavor.
