  • Portable and reheats well for meal prep.
  • Designed to stay clearly keto-friendly (estimate: ~5–8g net carbs per serving).

Ingredients

  • 1 low-carb tortilla or keto flatbread (~6″–8″; look for 3–5g net carbs each) — see keto baking options if you make your own
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free pizza sauce (no added sugar)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella (about 2 oz)
  • 8–10 slices pepperoni (or cooked shredded chicken / Italian sausage)
  • 1 tsp olive oil or melted butter (for crisping)

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or griddle — a heavy-bottomed skillet works best (see Kitchen Essentials).
  • Spatula and a small spoon or offset spatula for sauce.
  • Optional: air fryer or countertop skillet if you prefer keto cooking appliances for extra crisping.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Preheat: Heat your skillet over medium-low heat. Brush one side of the tortilla with the olive oil or butter (this will be the outside that crisps).
  2. Assemble: Place the tortilla oil-side-down in the skillet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the tortilla, leaving a 1/2″ edge.
  3. Add cheese and toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices (or chosen protein) on top.
  4. Fold or roll: After the cheese begins to melt (about 1–2 minutes), fold the tortilla in half or roll tightly like a wrap, keeping the oiled side out. Press gently with the spatula to seal.
  5. Crisp: Cook 1–2 minutes per side, pressing occasionally, until the outside is golden and the cheese is fully melted. Lower heat if the tortilla browns too quickly.
  6. Finish and serve: Remove, let rest 1 minute, slice in half, and enjoy. Optionally top with dried oregano or fresh basil.

Tips for best results

  • Use medium-low heat so the cheese melts before the tortilla over-browns.
  • Pre-shred mozzarella or buy low-moisture shredded cheese to avoid sogginess.
  • If using a very thin tortilla, fold instead of roll to prevent tearing.
  • For extra crisp, finish 1–2 minutes in a preheated 375°F air fryer (flip once).
  • Keep sauce thinly spread — too much sauce increases moisture and carbs.

Substitutions and swaps

  • Low-carb tortilla: Substitute with a large lettuce leaf for ultra-low-carb or a homemade almond flour flatbread if you prefer. See keto baking options.
  • Pizza sauce: Use a homemade sugar-free tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes seasoned with garlic and oregano. Avoid commercial sweetened sauces.
  • Cheese: Swap mozzarella for provolone or a dairy-free shredded cheese for a lactose-free option.
  • Dairy-free option: Use a dairy-free shredded cheese and olive oil; choose nitrate-free turkey pepperoni or cooked chicken for the protein.
  • Vegetarian: Replace pepperoni with sliced mushrooms, spinach, and olives (watch carb counts on mushrooms/olives).

Serving ideas

Serve the wrap with a crisp side salad or sliced cucumber and a keto-friendly dip. For snack-sized portions at a party, slice into thirds and serve with toothpicks — these make great low-carb finger foods alongside keto snacks.

Storage and meal prep

Wraps keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 1 month. When freezing, separate individual wraps with parchment to avoid sticking and store in a labeled freezer bag. For organized meal prep, consider using products from our Meal Prep collection and Keto Storage & Organization solutions.

To reheat: thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat 2–3 minutes per side until warmed through. For quicker reheating, use a 350°F oven for 6–8 minutes or a 2–3 minute air fryer session to restore crispness.

FAQ

  • Can I make this dairy-free? Yes — use a dairy-free shredded cheese and olive oil or a dairy-free butter substitute; choose dairy-free pepperoni or chicken.

  • How do I prevent a soggy wrap? Use less sauce, low-moisture cheese, and cook on lower heat until cheese melts.
  • Is this good for meal prep? Yes — assemble and cook, then refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze individually for quick lunches (see Meal Prep tools above).
