Keto Egg Wrap Recipe - Easy Gluten Free Tortilla Substitute (1)

I have a confession. McDonald’s breakfast food….especially their breakfast wraps and sausage egg mcmuffins are some of my favorite foods. And while I rarely eat them, I’m embarrassed to say that I really do love them.

Now that I’m having such a busy summer I thought I better start eating breakfast (not McDonalds) and of course keep it rather low carb or Paleo. So I’ve come up with this keto egg wrap that is the perfect gluten free, low carb and high protein breakfast!

The nice thing about these homemade egg wraps is that they are so easy to make and you could fill them with anything you would in regular wraps. It’s a bit like a flour tortilla and you can use it as a sandwich wrap! These are great for a lite low carb meal in the summer time.

Recipe ingredients I used.

The simple ingredients I used for this low carb recipes are fresh herbs, eggs, turkey slices and cheddar cheese.

Fresh Herbs
I used what fresh herbs I had in the garden which were some parsley, thyme and basil. You can use whatever fresh herbs you want and have on hand. You can also eliminate them if you want but they do add extra flavor. You can also try some optional seasonings like hot pepper flakes for flavor and spice.

Turkey Slices
Turkey lunchmeat is low in calories, fat, carbs but high in protein. Chicken lunchmeat is very similar. You can really use just about any lunchmeat you want and would normally use in a sandwich.

Cheddar Cheese
I tried this with sliced cheddar cheese and found it was much easier to use shredded cheese because it will melt faster and you can cover the whole area of the wrap easier. You can also use Swiss, gouda, mozzarella, Monterey Jack or any other shredded cheese as well as goat cheese or feta cheese.

Eggs
I used the whole egg to make these wraps but you can also just use the egg whites. You might want to use two eggs per egg white wrap though.

How to make this keto egg wrap recipe with turkey and cheese.

Step 1: Get out a small omelet pan or non-stick skillet.Heat it over medium heat. Then spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.You can also use a teaspoon butter or olive oil if you want but I was trying to keep the calories down.

Step 2: In a small bowl beat an egg and add the minced fresh herbs and a pinch of salt and black pepper if you want. Mix well and the pour into the hot skillet. I used fresh herbs but you could use dried herbs or seasoning, just make sure to use less.

TIP:
The ratio of dried to fresh herbs is 1 teaspoon dried = 3 teaspoons fresh.

Step 3: Swirl to coat the whole surface of the skillet. Once it starts to set, swirl again to get the liquid from the middle out into the edges.
