Health notes
- Protein: Ground beef and cheese.
- Low carb: A low-carb tortilla, not a flour wrap or a bun.
- Sugar-free: No sweet sauce.
- Keto-friendly: Each wrap stays around 6g net carbs if the tortilla is the low-carb kind.
Key element — warm the tortilla
A cold tortilla cracks when you roll it. A few seconds in a dry pan softens it so the wrap holds, like the stack.

Instructions
| 1 | Beef. Brown the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain any fat. Divide into 4 portions. |
| 2 | Warm. Warm each tortilla in a dry pan 15–20 seconds a side so it bends without cracking. |
| 3 | Fill. Lay lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the tortilla. Add a portion of beef. Top with cheese. A spoon of mustard if you want it. |
| 4 | Roll. Fold the sides in and roll tight, like the stack. A short press in the pan melts the cheese. This batch makes 4 wraps. |
Pro tips

- Drain the beef so the wrap is not greasy.
- A flour tortilla or a bun is not in these numbers.
- Pickles and a tomato slice are in the 6g. A sweet sauce is not.
- Macros are per wrap, 4 from this batch.
