Looking for a new keto lunch? This Keto Club Lettuce Wrap is packed with thick slices of ham, bacon, cheese, crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes! This filling lunch is under 4 net carbs!
I used to think lettuce wraps were so boring. We have been a gluten free family for a long time so naturally, lettuce wraps are an easy option for us. Turns out, I was just doing them wrong! In my opinion a lettuce wrap can be just as satisfying as a nice big sandwich. As long as you dress up a lettuce wrap just like you would a sandwich the result can be amazing. Adding your favorite condiments like mayo or mustard and of course salt and pepper can really make the flavors of the vegetables pop.
What kind of lettuce is best for lettuce wraps?
- Iceberg Lettuce: nice crunch, inexpensive but a little harder to roll
- Romaine Lettuce: some crunch, easier to roll
- Butter Lettuce: little to no crunch, but holds fillings well
In this Keto Club Lettuce Wrap I use several leaves of Iceberg lettuce for a nice crunch. You can use romaine if you prefer, it does roll easier and it is what I used in this BLT lettuce wrap.
Butter lettuce is also a good option as it holds fillings really well but it doesn’t have the same crunch. I really only like butter lettuce when I have a filling with a little crunch, like with a thai chicken filling that features peanuts.
