3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

• Lay out a keto tortilla or egg wrap on a flat surface.

• Place a slice of provolone cheese (or a generous amount of shredded mozzarella) in the center.

• Add a generous portion of the beef mixture on top of the cheese.

• Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.

• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.​
