Keto Southwest Chicken Cheese Wraps

Slices of pepper jack cheese are manipulated into wraps with some special Keto techniques. The wraps are filled with a “Southwest” filling of chili-flavored chicken, cream cheese, some crunchy veggies, and extra cheddar. There are a variety of ways you can use this Keto recipe. Eat these Southwest cheese wraps as a snack in between meals. The fat content will satiate you and the wraps act as their own Keto “fat bombs”. They’re delicious both fresh out of the oven while the filling is hot and gooey or as a cold snack you keep in your refrigerator. Since they’re great finger food, you can also serve these cheese wraps in a group setting as an appetizer. If you want to use this recipe in your meal prepping, pick one of Carb Manager’s Keto side dishes to pair with the wraps. Since there’s some protein in each serving, you can use the recipe as your main course too.

Can I Use Another Cheese For The Wrap?

If you do not want to use pepper jack cheese for the cheese wraps, there are many other types of cheese you can substitute in place of it. Cheddar (yellow or white), mozzarella, provolone, muenster, monterey jack, or colby jack cheese are all acceptable. You can buy blocks of cheese and slice them into the appropriate-sized slice yourself, but buying pre-sliced cheese in packages is recommended if this is available to you. The pre-sliced cheese ensures you have large enough slices, all the wraps will be the same, and they melt perfectly for Keto recipes like this one.

I Don’t Like Spicy Food

This Keto recipe isn’t high on the spicy scale, but there are some spicy ingredients used. If you’re sensitive to spicy foods, omit the chili powder used to season the chicken. If you have paprika, substitute the chili powder with this. You may also wish to substitute the pepper jack cheese wraps with one of the more mild cheeses listed above. This way, you won’t accidentally bite down on a dried pepper or seed. Making these changes will not affect your macros.
