Key ingredients:

Low carb wraps: 

A great alternative to bread, keeping carbs in check while holding everything together. Most supermarkets stock a range of low carb / keto-friendly wraps. 

BBQ chicken: 

Shredded for ease, this lean protein keeps you satisfied. Keep one in the fridge for a quick protein-hit during the week.

Bacon rashers: 

Crispy and savoury, adding a smoky crunch to each bite.

Ham off the bone:

A flavourful, protein-rich addition. 

Cos lettuce:

Adds freshness and crunch to balance the richness. If cos isn't available, any other lettuce variety will work. 

FAQs:

Can I use lettuce wraps instead of low carb wraps?

Yes! Simply wrap the fillings in large lettuce leaves for an even lower-carb option.

What’s the best low carb wrap to use?

Look for wraps with less than 4 grams net carbs per serving. Many supermarkets now stock great options, look for them in the normal bread aisle.

How can I make it spicier?

Add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle with chili flakes before rolling up.
