Pulled Chicken Keto Lunch Wraps

One of the things I missed most when I first went grain free was a good wrap. Martina’s tortilla recipe is simply the best keto wrap alternative I’ve found and makes the perfect choice for this healthy lunch.

Today I stuffed the low-carb tortillas with crispy pulled chicken, avocado and a simple crunchy slaw for the perfect balance of low carb, protein and healthy fats. Can be made the day before and kept in the fridge for lunch the next day.
