One of my favorite foods to eat lately on the keto diet is anything egg and wrap related. Since I’ve been suck in quarantine, I have been getting more creative in the kitchen and that is how I discovered how great my keto and low carb taco egg wrap recipe is!
To be honest, my cooking is very basic. There isn’t a lot too it, but I like to mix all my ingredients together in the same pan to mix all the flavors. For me this works. Thankfully it works for my fiance too, because he loves my keto cooking.

Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp of red onion
- 1 tbsp of jalapeno
- 2 pinches of Colby Jack shredded cheese
- 4 eggs

You may add or subtract any ingredients to make it your own. These amounts will make 3 keto low carb taco and egg wrap.
Getting Started: Step By Step
Start by putting a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a warm pan, and add the onion and jalapeno. Let the vegetables cook for a few minutes.
In a separate bowl crack four eggs and stir until it’s an even liquid. Pour over the onions and jalapeno and mix until scrambled. I’ll be honest I mix them right in the pan and skip the separate bowl. The less dishes the better.
As the eggs start to scramble, add two strips of bacon to the same pan. Eggs stay on one side and bacon stays on the other. It’s all getting mixed into the same tortilla wrap anyways.
Add the shredded cheese to the scrambled eggs, and mix until melted.
Tip: while bacon is still cooking, place the eggs on a plate so they do not overcook.
Cooking The Taco Meat
Place the taco meat in separate pan over medium-high heat and cook until brown. Make sure you are consistently breaking it up and mixing it up so it all cooks evenly.
Once it is completely cooked, drain any excess fat or oil, and place back on the stove.
Add about 1/3 cup of water to the taco meat, along with taco seasoning and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Putting It All Together
Once everything is fully cooked, mix the taco meet with the eggs, onions and jalapeno.
Pull out a low carb tortilla wrap and put a little bit of the Taco Ranch Taco Sauce on the tortilla.
Pile on the egg and taco mix, and add the bacon. I cut my bacon up into pieces instead of strips.
Add the Taco Bell Hot Sauce, and finish it off with a few slices of avocado. My fiance opts out of the avocado, but likes organic spinach leaves on his instead. Obviously the choice is yours!
Last Step…
Once your wrap is filled, it’s time to make it crunchy. We’re going to use the bacon grease in the same pot.
Fold up your wrap so the contents don’t fall out, and place your wrap in the heated grease. Let it cook for as long as desired. I like my wrap a little crunchier so I let it sit for a few extra minutes.
Flip to get the other side of the wrap crunchy.
Tip: I grill the side that opens first to harden the wrap together so it wont open.
Last But Not Least
ENJOY!
