Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large leaves green cabbage, thick inner core removed
- 1 lb. ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 tsp. ground mustard
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce

Instructions
- Remove the thick inner core from cabbage leaves. Blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, transfer to an ice bath, then pat dry and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Create 6 cheese circles (4 inches wide) on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden. Let cool.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes more. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt cream cheese, heavy cream, and butter over low heat. Stir in ground mustard, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar until smooth.
- To assemble, lay out a cabbage leaf. Add beef, drizzle with cheese sauce, top with a cheese crisp, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and more shredded cheddar. Fold into a hexagon. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- In a skillet, cook crunchwrap seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until browned. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Remove toothpicks before serving.
