Low Carb Caprese Wrap

Are you looking for a quick Keto lunch recipe? Look no further than this delicious Keto Caprese Wrap. It uses the newest social media trend of cutting a tortilla and folding layers into it filled with ingredients. In this case, the ingredients used here are pesto, deli chicken, red onion, sliced cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella pearls. The folded wrap is crisped to perfection on both sides. The result is a delicious crispy Keto Caprese Wrap.

How can I serve this wrap?

You can serve this wrap with additional pesto if your macros allow it or even extra mozzarella pearls on the side for added protein and fats.

Is this a good lunch to prep ahead?

The wrap will not stay crispy. However, an uncooked wrap would be great prepped ahead of time for a lunch item.

Are tortillas Keto-friendly?

Depending on the strictness of your Keto diet, some Keto followers can safely and enjoyably add low-carb tortillas into their meal plans.

Recipe Steps

steps 5

15 min

  • Step 1

    Make a slit from the bottom of the tortilla up to the center of the tortilla. Imagine that the tortilla is made up of four quadrants. Each section will get some filling.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    To the area to the left of the slit, add ½ of the pesto. Above the pesto, place two slices of deli chicken meat, the sliced cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. To the section to the right of the chicken meat, add the mozzarella pearls. Feel free to use a larger piece of mozzarella that has been cut to the appropriate size/weight.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Begin to fold the tortilla, starting with the pesto side.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Fold the pesto section up and over the chicken, and then fold it to the right to cover the mozzarella cheese, then down. You will be left with a triangle filled with layers of ingredients. Repeat with the other tortilla.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Heat a small nonstick saute pan over medium heat until hot. Add in the olive oil and then place the folded tortillas facing down to hold the flap underneath. Allow the tortillas to crispy for 2 minutes or so on each side. Turn the heat down to low if necessary, meaning if the tortillas are browning too quickly but the cheese is not melted yet. Serve immediately! If prepping ahead, do not crisp the tortillas until the day of or skip the crisping process altogether to make a great lunchbox meal.

        Love this recipe, quick and easy. Omitted the red onion and added 1 more cherry tomato. Used protein bread wrap instead of low carb tortilla wrap.

          Seriously! My husband is so picky and keto is challenging as he doesn’t like pesto and-so many other ingredients but I talked him into trying this and he flipped over them. He said they were soooo good and then his mind went to how he could take this idea and try other types of ingredients prepared like this: Thank you Carb Manager- we couldn’t do this with out you and the premium recipes: Dee

            My husband is doing Keto with me, he is trying everything, I make, some not so, but others he just raves about them, Tomorrow I am making sushi, taki maki and using a fine cauliflower rice, with rice Vinager and a bit of swerve granulated, and tuna, the nori keto friendly, and wasabi and ginger hoping it's a hit, as I had just learned how too make it, but now no rice..
