This wrap is a versatile dish that works just as well for a quick solo lunch as it does for a simple weeknight dinner. The heat of the skillet transforms simple deli ingredients into a gourmet toasted wrap.

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
• 1–2 tsp Italian dressing (light or homemade vinaigrette)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat

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

Step 2: Base Layer

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

Step 3: Add Meats

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

Step 4: Add Zest

Scatter the sliced banana peppers evenly over the meat layers.

Step 5: Season

Drizzle the Italian dressing lightly over the fillings, being careful not to oversaturate.

Step 6: Fold

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

Step 7: First Side

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

Step 8: Flip and Crisp

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

Step 9: Rest and Serve

Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute to allow the cheese to set, then slice in half and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, use a medium heat to ensure the tortilla becomes golden and crispy without burning before the cheese has a chance to melt. Pressing the wrap down gently with a spatula helps heat the interior meats more evenly.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily customize this wrap by adding thinly sliced red onion, roasted red pepper strips, or fresh spinach leaves before folding. For an ultra-low-carb version, skip the tortilla and use a large lettuce leaf like romaine or butter lettuce for a cold wrap alternative. If you prefer more heat, swap banana peppers for pepperoncini or jalapeños.

Serviervorschläge

To complete the deli vibe, serve your wrap with a side of extra banana peppers or a crisp dill pickle spear. It also pairs beautifully with a simple arugula salad dressed in a light vinaigrette.
