I had so much confusion about what to call this dish made with super thin egg wraps (like crepes but no flour), stuffed with sautéed spinach, pesto and other goodness. Tortilla-less Enchiladas Verde, Keto Spinach Egg Rolls, Low Carb Crepes Florentine . . .. hmmm, I dunno, how about just, SO AMAZING GOOD!
I finally decided on Low Carb Spinach Pesto Egg Wraps and made them originally for my friends at Litehouse Foods, see how it’s topped there with their delicious organic ranch dressing?! You could also do salsa, queso, hollandaise or whatever else suits your fancy. Read on to get this easy, yummy recipe.
Basically, I’ve started with my ridiculously simple Low Carb Egg Wraps for Paleo and Keto Diets posted a while back. These versatile wraps, crepes, egg tortillas or whatever you want to call them are carb-free and have only 16 calories per piece (and 3.3g protein). They are such a great life hack when you need a vehicle to hold fillings while you transport to mouth. Plus, you can make them ahead of time (even freeze them) so that you can always have available for your meal creativity. Put them in your meal prep rotation.
So, I’ve made these basically single-ingredient wraps (aside from salt and cooking spray) “fancier” by stirring in some purchased pesto. The pesto adds a little more color to the wraps as well as a hug of flavor for feel-good fillings. So, they are now two-ingredient egg wraps – you CAN DO THIS!
On the inside, I’ve added sautéed spinach and topped with chopped roasted tomatoes – and the organic ranch. It’s super simple, but looks and tastes like it should be eaten with a silver spoon, errr, fork. You can definitely impress your company with this low-carb dish!
