Step-by-Step Instructions
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, minced dill pickle, sugar-free sweetener, and minced onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set it aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Dough: In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Gradually stir in the hot water until a dough ball forms. Divide this dough into four equal portions.
Shape the Tortillas: Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, flatten each ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper into thin circles.
Fry the Tortillas: Heat enough avocado oil in a skillet to cover the base. Once hot, fry each tortilla for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
Cook the Beef: Shape the ground beef into eight equal balls and press them flat like patties. Season with salt and brown in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Assemble the Wrap: On a large tortilla, add a slice of American cheese, followed by a beef patty, a teaspoon of your special sauce, diced onions, pickles, and shredded lettuce. Layer another beef patty and cheese, then place a smaller tortilla on top. Fold the larger tortilla around the smaller one.
Fry the Crunchwrap: In the skillet, lay the wrapped crunch sauce side down and cook until crispy. Flip and brown the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Cut your crunchwrap in half and serve warm!
