The combination of savory meats and zesty Italian dressing creates a bold taste profile. Whether you're strictly keto or just looking for a lighter alternative to a heavy sandwich, this wrap provides a satisfying crunch and gooey melted cheese in every bite.

Ingredients

• 1 low-carb tortilla (8-inch, ~6–10 g net carbs)
• 2 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella as substitute)
• 3 slices salami
• 3 slices pepperoni
• 1–2 tbsp banana peppers, sliced (sub: pepperoncini or jalapeños)
• 1–2 tsp Italian dressing (light or homemade vinaigrette)
• Optional: Thinly sliced red onion, roasted red pepper strips, or fresh spinach leaves

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Place the tortilla flat in the dry, hot skillet. Lay the provolone slices on one half of the tortilla.

Step 3

Layer the salami and pepperoni over the cheese, slightly overlapping.

Step 4

Scatter banana peppers evenly over the meat.

Step 5

Drizzle the Italian dressing lightly over the fillings (do not oversaturate).

Step 6

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the fillings to form a half-moon. Gently press down with a spatula.

Step 7

Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.

Step 8

Carefully flip the wrap and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, until crisp and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For extra crunch and nutrients, add spinach, arugula, or roasted red peppers before folding. To make the dish dairy-free, use a plant-based provolone alternative and ensure your meats and dressing are compliant with your dietary needs.

Varianten und Anpassungen

If you want an ultra-low-carb or cold version, use a large lettuce leaf like romaine or butter lettuce instead of a tortilla for a fresh, deli-style hand-held meal.

Serviervorschläge

Serve your warm wrap with a simple arugula salad and extra banana peppers or a classic dill pickle spear for an authentic Italian deli experience.
