Instructions

Prepare the Beef Mixture: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the low-carb tortillas or cheese wraps to make them pliable and easier to roll.
Assemble the Burritos: Place a scoop of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro.
Roll and Serve: Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately with lime wedges if desired for an extra citrus kick.

Notes

You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or ground chicken for a leaner option.
For an even lower-carb meal, try using cheese wraps or large lettuce leaves instead of low-carb tortillas.
Adjust the spice level by adding extra chili powder or hot sauce to the beef mixture if desired.
Leftover beef mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for quick meals.
