🥘 Ingredients
- Low Carb Flour Tortillas- these are easy to find in most grocery stores. I used the taco size.
- Sliced deli roast beef- I have also used corned beef with great results. If you prefer, use sliced leftover beef roast.
- Sliced cheese- the photo shows colby cheese- use your favorite.
- Lettuce and tomato- slice the tomato thinly to make rolling up the sandwich easier.
- Honey Mustard - Choose a lower carb version if desired.
🔪 Instructions
Place a tortilla on your work space, then spread with honey mustard.
Next, add a layer of cheese then lettuce and tomato. Sprinkle on any extra seasoning you would like such as pepper, everything bagel, seasoned salt, etc.
Next roll up the tortilla and secure with toothpicks.
Slice the wrap in half and enjoy! Try dipping your wrap in low carb dressing, mustard or sauce for even more flavor.
