Ingredients
Wrap and Fillings
- 2-3 Iceberg lettuce leaves
- 3 slices large deli Pepperoni
- 3 slices large deli Salami
- 1 slice smoked Gouda
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Pepperoncini Peppers, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the pepperoncini mayo: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sliced pepperoncini peppers thoroughly. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare your workspace: Tear a 12-inch square piece of wax paper to use as a clean base for assembling the wrap.
- Arrange the lettuce: Place 2-3 overlapping iceberg lettuce leaves in the center of the wax paper, ensuring they create a solid barrier to hold the fillings securely.
- Add the fillings: Place the sliced smoked Gouda onto the center of the lettuce leaves. Then spoon the pepperoncini mayo over the cheese, followed by layering the sliced salami and pepperoni on top.
- Wrap it up: Using the wax paper, carefully roll the lettuce and fillings tightly like a burrito, keeping everything secure inside.
- Slice and serve: When ready to eat, slice the wrapped lettuce wrap down the center for easier handling and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb meal.
Notes
- You can substitute iceberg lettuce with romaine or butter lettuce for a different texture.
- Adjust the amount of pepperoncini peppers to control the spice level of the mayo.
- For added crunch, consider adding thin cucumber slices or bell peppers.
- Make sure to wrap tightly to prevent fillings from falling out.
- This wrap is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
