how to make Weight Watchers Cheeseburger Crunch Wrap
Ingredients:
- 5 Low carb, high fiber tortilla wraps
- 12 ounces 96% lean ground beef
- ½ cup onion (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
- 8 teaspoons mustard
- 4 ounces reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes (chopped)
- 8 teaspoons dill gherkins (finely chopped)
- 1 cup lettuce (chopped)
Directions:

- Spoon about ½ cup of the beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1½-inch border.
- Layer ¼ cup of cheese, ¼ cup of tomato, 2 teaspoons of pickles, and ¼ cup of lettuce over the beef mixture.
- Place 1 toasted tortilla quarter on top and fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center to form pleats that cover the toasted tortilla quarter.
- Carefully flip the wrap over and place it in the heated skillet. Toast and crisp the wrap for 2 minutes on each side, pressing occasionally with a spatula.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to form 4 crunch wraps total.
