    These lettuce wrapped sandwiches are easy, don't fall apart, and are the perfect paleo, low-carb, healthy sandwich with no bread!

    These lettuce wrapped sandwiches are one of my go-to lunches.

    They're super fast, easy, healthy, low-carb, and the kids love them! Plus, they're portable and can even be sent in the kids lunchboxes!

    The toppings don't slide out, your hands don't get messy, and they hold together and travel well.

    While I love a traditional sandwich with keto bread, sometimes I just don't have any on hand and don't want to wait for some to bake.

    What kind of lettuce is used for lettuce wraps?

    For the lettuce, any large leaves will work. I prefer Romain or Iceberg. Iceberg does tend to have a bit more crunch though 😉

    Fillings

    • classic turkey or ham with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and pickles with either mustard or mayo
    • turkey or ham with tomatoes, bacon, and ranch dressing
    • chicken salad
    • taco meat with avocado, tomatoes, and salsa
    • chicken taco meat with avocado, tomatoes, and salsa
    • grilled chicken with Ceasar dressing
    • ...or whatever you can think of!

    Easy instructions

    folded piece of parchment paper

    First, tear off a square piece of parchment paper and fold one corner down to the opposite corner to make a large triangle.

    Then, layer on some large lettuce leaves, leaving a few inches of lettuce hanging over the fold of the parchment paper.

    For the lettuce, any large lettuce leaves will work. However, I prefer Romain or iceberg.

    Even though I used Romain for the pictures, Iceberg does tends have a bit more crunch 😉

    fillings added on top of the lettuce

    Now you can add any toppings and sauce or dressing that you like.

    In the picture above I used nitrate-free turkey with avocado, tomatoes, pickles, and mustard.

    Another flavor combo we really like is turkey with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and ranch dressing. But add any toppings you prefer!

    folding the lettuce over the toppings

    Now, fold the lettuce leaf down over the fillings.

    folding the bottom corner up over the lettuce

    Then grab the bottom point of the parchment paper and fold up over the lettuce.

    rolling up the lettuce wrapped sandwich

    Then, starting with the end closest to you, start rolling up the lettuce wrapped sandwich as tightly as you can. Be sure to keep the bottom tucked in under the parchment.

    And that's it! Now you have a super easy & healthy sandwich 😀

      This is the best lettuce wrap I've seen so far that makes the most sense. By putting another layer of lettuce on top, it holds the insides in much better than the ones I've seen where they pile all this food on top and then try to fold it like a tortilla, where the parchment paper is so tightly wrapped around the food, it's very difficult to peel the paper back after it's cut in half. Your way, there's no cutting involved, it holds it in place and the paper is looser, which also allows you to either peel the paper back way more easily than the tortilla-like rolls. It also allows you to push the lettuce wrap up from the bottom with each bite. Very ingenious. Can't wait to try it.

        Hi kazy!

        Thank you!! Yeah, I've always had trouble when the parchment is super tight- there's no way to eat it! I can't wait for you to try it either 🙂 Let me know what you think!

      What do you do once you've eaten what sticks out, how do you get the rest of the lettuce wrap?

        Hi Susan! The wrap should hold together well inside the parchment, so you can just gently pull more out as you eat without getting your hands dirty or making a mess 🙂
