I LOVE Italian deli sandwiches.  But these delicious sandwiches can be real New-Year’s-resolutions-busters as they are notorious for having a TON of calories.  

I wanted to make my favorite Italian sandwich healthier by turning it into a low-carb Italian wrap that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

To achieve this, I swapped the traditional bread for large, sturdy lettuce leaves, providing a fresh and crisp alternative.

I kept all the essential ingredients that make an Italian sandwich so delectable, such as the hard salami, savory ham, and creamy provolone cheese.

To enhance the flavor without adding extra calories, I added a mix of fresh veggies like pepperoncini peppers, lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, which I covered in an easy homemade Italian dressing.

The result was a satisfying, guilt-free wrap that still delivered all the flavors I love. Continue reading if this sounds like exactly what you’re looking for!

Key Takeaways

  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Main Ingredients: Low-carb tortilla, deli ham, hard or Genoa salami, provolone cheese, tomato, olive oil, and more
  • Servings: 1
  • Extras: Try other yummy sandwich classics like Caesar, turkey and avocado, greek chicken, and more for other low-carb lunches
  • Tip: Feel free to skip the oil, Italian seasoning, etc., and use a bottled Italian dressing- the low-fat one from Walmart isn’t too bad or expensive, but my husband loves the regular zesty Italian dressing for this wrap.

Easy Low-Carb Italian Wrap Recipe

I love Italian sub sandwiches, but man, I know I need to cut back on the bread! So, creating some satisfying Italian wraps for my lunches this summer was important. 

As an alternative to bread or a roll, I recently came across low-carb wraps and have been pleasantly surprised. Not only are they leaner than bread or rolls, but they also taste REALLY good.  

I liked the ones from Aldi, especially the sun-dried tomato tortilla, but Mission Carb Balance tortillas are worth it if you can get them on sale- they’re only 70 calories per wrap!

If I used a traditional 8″ sub roll instead of the low-carb wrap, this would be over 400 calories, so it cuts back without less flavor or satisfaction.

I used to get an Italian wrap from Flatout, but they just discontinued their products in February this year- Walmart still has their Italian wraps on the shelves if you want to try them, but not for long!

I’m thinking next, I may make low-carb Italian wraps from scratch; what do you guys think??

Ingredients

tortillas

  • 1 Low-Carb Tortilla Wrap
  • 2 slices of deli ham ‘off the bone’
  • 2 slices of hard or Genoa salami (or capicola, pepperoni, etc.)
  • 1 slice of provolone cheese, cut in half (my girls ate it with mozzarella cheese, but use what you like!)
  • 3 slices of tomato
  • handful of lettuce
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • sliced pepperoncini (optional)
  • a couple of shakes of parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Spread lettuce on the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of the edge on the round sides.
  2. Place the tomato slices across the lettuce aligned from one straight edge to the other.
  3. In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese (making the Italian dressing) and brush it on the tomato slices.
  4. Layer the rest of the ingredients on the tomato in this order: provolone cheese, salami, ham, and pepperoncini slices.
  5. Carefully roll it up and cut it in half.  Enjoy!
