Description

This Low-Carb Italian Sub Wrap captures the classic flavors of an Italian sub with a keto-friendly twist. Crispy, melty provolone cheese melts over spicy salami and pepperoni, tangy banana peppers add a vibrant punch, and a light drizzle of Italian dressing brings it all together—all folded inside a warm, toasted low-carb tortilla. It’s a quick, satisfying dinner recipe that replicates the nostalgic sub shop experience without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale

Wrap Base

  • 1 low-carb tortilla

Meats and Cheese

  • 3 slices salami
  • 3 slices pepperoni
  • 2 slices provolone cheese

Add-Ons

  • 1–2 tbsp banana peppers
  • 1–2 tsp Italian dressing (light or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Heat Your Skillet: Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up evenly. This ensures the tortilla crisps nicely and the cheese melts perfectly without burning.
  2. Lay the Foundation: Place the low-carb tortilla flat in the heated skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer the two slices of provolone cheese. This direct contact with the heat will create a deliciously crispy, cheesy crust while melting the cheese inside.
  3. Pile on the Goodness: Over the cheese, layer the three slices each of salami and pepperoni, overlapping slightly for balanced flavor. Scatter 1 to 2 tablespoons of banana peppers evenly on top for tang and a subtle vinegar punch.
  4. The Flavor Drizzle: Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of light Italian dressing lightly over the fillings, adding moisture and an extra layer of acidity without sogginess.
  5. Fold and Press: Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the fillings, then press gently with your hand or a spatula to help the cheese act as glue and set the shape.
  6. Cook to Golden Perfection: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until the tortilla turns golden brown and the cheese begins to ooze. Flip the wrap carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is equally crisp and the cheese is fully melted inside.
  7. Slice and Serve: Remove the wrap from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about a minute to allow the cheese to set slightly, then slice it diagonally in half. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use a high-fiber, low-carb tortilla or substitute with a sturdy lettuce leaf like romaine for an extra low-carb option.
  • Choose dry-aged, spicy salami for authentic flavor, or milder ham if preferred.
  • Try sandwich-style larger pepperoni slices for added texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, swap provolone with a compliant dairy-free cheese and verify dressing ingredients.
  • Customize the wrap by adding thinly sliced red onions, spinach, or roasted red peppers for extra veggies.
  • To up the heat, swap salami with spicy capicola and add crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with a simple arugula salad and dill pickle spear for a classic sub-shop vibe.
