With just two ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a versatile, protein-packed wrap that holds up beautifully for meal prep or last-minute lunches. Let’s dive into this easy carnivore cheese wrap recipe that’s as delicious as it is practical.
How to Make a Cheese Wrap in 5 Steps
- Yield: 1 wrap
- Prep Time: 1 minute
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 slices cheese, such as cheddar, each about 3 inches square
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. If using an air fryer or toaster oven, select a small sheet pan; for a standard oven, any size sheet pan will do.
- Lay the cheese slices on the prepared pan, slightly overlapping the edges to form one large rectangular piece.
- Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400°F. Note: Avoid using the “air fry” setting, as the fan may blow the cheese slices around. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese start to brown lightly.
- Remove the cheese wrap from the air fryer or oven and let it cool briefly. This allows the cheese to firm up while remaining flexible.
- Fill the wrap with your favorite toppings, roll it up, and enjoy.
Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Topping Ideas: Fill with chicken salad, deli meats, bacon & eggs, or vegetables for a satisfying meal. Pair with a dollop of Butter Bacon Mayonnaise for extra richness.
- Storage Tips: Make several wraps at once and refrigerate for up to a week. Use wax paper or parchment to separate the wraps and prevent sticking.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or provolone for unique flavors.
Why This Recipe Is Perfect for the Carnivore Lifestyle
This cheese wrap is a game-changer for anyone on a low-carb or zero-carb diet. It’s incredibly easy to make and can be tailored to suit any flavor preferences. Whether you stuff it with crispy bacon, creamy chicken salad, or smoked salmon, this wrap is a fantastic alternative to traditional bread-based options.
Tips for Success
Meal Prep: Make multiple wraps at once and store them in the fridge. Reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven to restore flexibility before filling.
Cheese Options: Use slices of cheese that melt well but maintain structure, such as cheddar, provolone, or Swiss.
Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the cheese as it bakes. It should be pliable but not overly crispy unless you want a crunchy wrap.
