Method
Preparation
Carefully separate the leaves of the romaine lettuce. Rinse them under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they’re crisp and ready for wrapping.
On each lettuce leaf, layer your choice of deli meats, followed by slices of provolone cheese. Add the roasted red peppers, black olives, and fresh basil leaves for that vibrant flavor.
Gently drizzle a small amount of Italian dressing over the top of your layered ingredients, giving each bite a delicious, zesty kick.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to your liking—this simple step enhances the flavors and makes your wraps even more delightful.
Fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and roll it up tightly, creating a perfect hand-held meal that is bursting with flavor.
Place the wraps seam-side down on a plate. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy them.
When making Keto Italian Lettuce Wraps, ensure to rinse the lettuce leaves thoroughly to remove any grit, which enhances their crispness. Avoid overloading the leaves with too many ingredients, as this can lead to messy wraps that fall apart.
