Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Enjoy low-carb cheesesteak flavors wrapped in crisp lettuce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or appetizer platter.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey Beef gives a deeper flavor; turkey trims fat.
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers Use a mix of colors for sweetness.
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded Substitute provolone or cheddar.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Lettuce leaves for wrapping (Romaine or butter lettuce work best) Choose large, sturdy leaves and remove the central rib for easier rolling.
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side, add the ground meat, and break it apart with your spoon or spatula.
- Season the meat with salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until there’s no pink left — about 6–8 minutes (ground turkey should reach 165°F; ground beef to 160°F).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the shredded Monterey Jack until it melts into the meat mixture.
Assembly
- Prepare lettuce leaves by rinsing and drying them, then trimming the thick rib if needed.
- To assemble, place a spoonful of the meat and pepper mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with additional cheese if you like, then roll the lettuce snugly around the filling. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Serve immediately while warm.
