Best Way to Serve
This wrap is fantastic on its own but can be elevated with side dishes! Pair it with a fresh salad for a refreshing crunch, or add a side of crispy zucchini fries for something a little indulgent. For a more Italian flair, serve alongside a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. You can even plate it beautifully with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a pop of color.
Storage Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is unlikely, but just in case!), here’s how to store your Low-Carb Italian Sub Wraps:
- Refrigerate: Place leftovers in an airtight container. They can last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: This dish isn’t ideal for freezing because the tortilla may become soggy upon thawing, but you can always separate the fillings and freeze them for later use.
- Reheat: To reheat, place it in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or pop it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. Just be mindful not to overheat!
Expert Advice
For the best flavor experience, consider toasting the tortilla before adding the fillings. This extra step ensures a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft melted cheese. Also, don’t overload the wrap with ingredients, or it may be challenging to fold and cook evenly.
Creative Twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are some variations to try:
- Add veggies: Load up your wrap with fresh spinach or diced tomatoes for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Spicy kick: Swap banana peppers for sliced jalapeños if you crave heat.
- Switch the flavors: Try different types of Italian cheeses like Gouda or cheddar for a twist on the classic flavors.
- Cauliflower wrap: For an extra low-carb option, replace the tortilla with a cauliflower wrap.
Common Questions
