Meatball Wrap
A meatball wrap makes an incredibly quick and easy lunch or dinner. You can put it together with leftover or meal-prepped meatballs in less than 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 meatballs cooked, lamb or beef
- 1 flour tortilla 12-inch wide
- 1 tbsp tzatziki
- 1/2 cup Iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1/4 cup red cabbage salad or sauerkraut
- 1/4 tbsp red onion finely sliced
Instructions
- Reheat the cooked meatballs in the oven or microwave on medium heat until they're fully heated through.4 meatballs, 1 tbsp tzatziki
- To assemble the wraps, start with a large tortilla wrap and add 1/2 of the tzatziki sauce followed by the lettuce.1 flour tortilla, 1/2 cup Iceberg lettuce
- Place meatballs onto the lettuce. Add red cabbage salad or sauerkraut and finely sliced onion on top of the meatballs.1/4 cup red cabbage salad, 1/4 tbsp red onion
- Drizzle with remaining tzatziki and fold it up. Keep it wrapped up with a sleeve of parchment paper if needed. Serve straight away.
Notes
Lettuce wraps: Make a meatball lettuce wrap as a carb-free, keto-friendly meal using large lettuce leaves instead of the flour tortilla.
Storage: I suggest meal-prepping all ingredients, especially the meatballs, but make the wraps fresh. They will last in an airtight container for some hours but they taste best fresh.

Ingredients and substitutions
- Meatballs – Pan-fried, grilled, or oven-baked meatballs work well. I use my Italian lamb meatballs but Greek lamb meatballs, baked harissa meatballs, beef meatballs, pork, or chicken meatballs are great options too. Add them hot or cold to the wraps – just keep in mind that the wrap won’t last as long if you are adding hot meatballs as the lettuce will wilt.
- Wraps – I suggest using soft flour tortillas but wholemeal wraps work well too. You can choose gluten free tortillas as well.
- Salad – Iceberg lettuce adds a crunchy texture to this dish. Any type of lettuce or even baby spinach are great options.
- Red cabbage – I use my red cabbage salad to add some extra color and flavor. Red or green bell peppers, tomatoes, or cucumbers make delicious fillings as well.
- Sauce – A flavorsome sauce such as mint tzatziki, harissa yogurt sauce, or mint chimichurri completes the wrap.
My top 3 wrap tips
- Slice meatballs: Slice larger meatballs as smaller pieces are easier to eat.
- Heat tortillas: If the flour tortillas are stiff, heat them lightly in the oven or microwave to make them easier to wrap up.
- Fresh is best: Meal prep the ingredients including the meatballs for a quick and easy lunch. Wraps are best enjoyed freshly made!
