Low Carb Big Mac Crunchwrap Recipe
The recipe we’ll be discussing is a low-carb version of a Big Mac Crunchwrap, using keto-friendly ingredients that won’t leave you feeling guilty about indulging. Let’s get started!
Homemade Special Sauce
First, let’s prepare the homemade special sauce. You’ll need mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, vinegar, pickles or relish, sweetener, salt, and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate until it’s time to assemble the burgers.
Keto Tostada Shells
Next, let’s move on to the keto tostada shells. Instead of using traditional corn tortillas, we’re going to make our own low-carb version using almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum, salt, and hot water. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until it forms a dough, then roll it out into thin circles and cook them on a skillet until golden brown.
Burger Patties
Now, let’s move on to the patty. We’ll be using ground beef, ideally, with a high-fat content since we’re on a low-carb diet. Make sure your patties aren’t too thick, and use a tortilla press or heavy object to flatten them before cooking. Season them with salt and cook them on high heat until they’re browned on each side.
Assembly
It’s time to assemble the burger! Start with a large, low-carb tortilla, adding American cheese to the center. Add your burger patties on top of the cheese, then spread the homemade special sauce on top of the patties.
Next, add some diced onions, dill pickle relish, and shredded lettuce. Place the homemade tostada shell on top, followed by another layer of cheese. Fold the edges of the tortilla, then cook it in a skillet on both sides until it’s golden brown.
Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb Big Mac Crunchwrap!
