Low Carb Lettuce Wrap Sandwich
Description
This recipe uses whole iceberg lettuce leaves for wraps, carefully handled to avoid tears, layered with a mixture of cubed cooked chicken breast, pickled red onions, diced cherry tomatoes, mature cheddar cheese, grated carrot, and Caesar dressing. The filling provides a combination of savory protein, tangy pickled vegetables, fresh tomatoes, cheese, and creamy dressing for flavor variety and texture.
The lettuce leaves are overlapped on parchment paper and the filling added before folding the sides and bottom over the ingredients and rolling tightly, similar to a burrito. The parchment paper aids in keeping the wrap together and making it easy to eat without mess. The wrap is then sliced open in the middle for serving.
These wraps offer a low-carb, fresh alternative to traditional sandwiches and are suitable for light lunches or snacks. The crunchy lettuce contrasts nicely with the creamy and tangy fillings.
Additional tips highlight the importance of drying lettuce thoroughly and suggest adding cooked bacon for more Caesar flavor. Practice rolling ensures neat results.
Ingredients
- 90 g chicken breast cooked and diced
- 3 leaves iceberg lettuce
- 2 tablespoon Pickled red onion
- 4 cherry tomato diced
- 15 g cheddar cheese mature; grated
- 1 tablespoon caesar salad dressing
- 0.25 carrot grated
Instructions
- Carefully remove 3 leaves from an iceberg lettuce, making sure they don't break. Lay them on a sheet of baking paper, so they are overlapping a little.
- Fill your lettuce wrap with all the filling. Make sure it is not overfilled, because you want to still be able to roll up your lettuce sandwich wrap.
- Carefully fold the lettuce over the filling, like you would when making a burrito. Fold the sides in, then the bottom, and then roll it up. Fold the baking paper over it in the same way and roll it up tight.
- Use a sharp knife and cut your lettuce wrap open in the middle.
Notes
- Adding cooked chopped bacon enhances the Caesar salad flavor in the wrap.
- Dry lettuce leaves thoroughly after washing to avoid sogginess in the wrap.
- Roll wraps tightly using parchment paper to maintain shape and reduce mess.
- Rolling the wraps may require practice for a neat burrito-style finish.
- Eat by folding down the parchment paper as you go to keep the wrap intact.
