Low Carb Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps are a copycat recipe inspired by a Jimmy John's favorite, the Unwich. Only a few ingredients and 10 minutes to make!
Roast beef lettuce wraps are an easy, delicious, low carb lunch idea. I've grown quite fond of Jimmy John's Unwich, with all the goodness wrapped up in giant crunchy lettuce leaves.
Our boys love a good lettuce wrap too. With Dan looking for more low carb options, this has been an easy way for us to still enjoy a deliciously jam packed sandwich in wrap form.
Another great option for a healthy lunch or dinner is our favorite chicken salad recipe with eggs.

Learn how to make Low Carb Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps.
Let's pile together a quick lunch of roast beef lettuce wraps, shall we? All you need are a few ingredients.
First things first, wash the lettuce and tomatoes. You can use iceberg lettuce or a good romaine lettuce. I used large romaine leaves, and they worked just fine. I will say this, though… The crunchier the lettuce, the better.
Slice the tomato and onion into thin slices.
Lay the lettuce leaves out onto a piece of parchment paper, staggered or fanned out with half of each leaf on top of the leaf underneath. Add 2 slices of provolone cheese. Spread the mayo, along with the Italian dressing, over the cheese. Add onion and tomato slices.
Shred the cheddar cheese on top of the tomatoes. Then add the roast beef.
Finally, wrap up your lettuce wrap, using the parchment paper to help hold it all together. You can even tie a string around it to hold it in place.
And that's it! You're ready to enjoy.
