Great macros thanks to a high protein tortilla and lean beef.

One pound of ground beef makes enough for 4-5 crunchwraps, but I usually make a double batch of the seasoned beef and freeze half for later use.

I always make a homemade taco seasoning spice blend, but if using store-bought packets, omit the extra salt.
