Servings: 2
Calories: 258kcal
- 2 medium flour tortillas See Note 1
- 2 slices baked ham
- 2 slices cheese See Note 2
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce See Note 3
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 tbps mustard dijon or yellow
- ¼ red bell pepper sliced
- 2 tbps sliced pepperonicini from a jar, drained
Mix together mustard and mayo in a small bowl.
Spread half of the mayo-mustard mixture on each tortilla. Leave the edges dry.
Remove spines from romaine lettuce and place the lettuce leaves on the tortillas.
Add 2 slices of cheese and 2 slices of ham on each tortilla.
Place red pepper strips and sliced (drained) pepperoncini on top of the ham in one horizontal line.
Wrap tightly, like a burrito. Cut in half, if desired and serve.
Note 1: Use any tortilla you like. I used low-carb tortilla from Tumaros.
Note 2: Swiss cheese or Provolone are my favorite choices but any flexible sliced cheese will work: gouda, cheddar, hvarti or even American cheese.
Note 3: Romaine lettuce can be swapped for other greens, such as spring mix, butter lettuce or baby spinach.
Note 4: I like the mix of mustard and mayo but if you don't like mustard, go with 2 tablespoons of mayo. You can also use only mustard (especially if you want to cut down on fat). Other types of spread will also work well, such as hummus or softened cream cheese.
Note 5: Pepperoncini and red peppers can be swapped for other veggies, such as sliced or chopped tomato, cucumber, pickles and sliced avocado.
Note 6: For a gluten free version, use gluten free tortillas.
Note 7: To make these paleo/ keto friendly, use almond flour tortillas, coconut wraps or egg white wraps.
Note 8: This recipe makes 2 wraps using 8-inch tortillas.
