Keto Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls (Low Carb)

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls bring together the classic cheesesteak flavors with a low-carb twist! The combination of juicy ground meat, sautéed onions, green peppers, and melty cheese creates a mouthwatering filling, all wrapped in a crispy low-carb tortilla or cheese wrap. Perfect for a satisfying snack, appetizer, or main meal that won’t break your carb count!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6-8 low-carb tortillas (or use Folios cheese wraps or egg-based wraps for ultra-low carb)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Cook the meat and veggies: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey), breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once the meat is browned, drain any excess grease.
  2. Sauté peppers and onions: Add sliced green bell peppers and chopped onions to the skillet with the cooked meat. Sauté everything together for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Add the creamy cheese mixture: Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and combined with the beef mixture. Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar until they’re melted and gooey.
  4. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out your low-carb tortillas or cheese wraps. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesesteak filling into each wrap, folding in the sides and rolling them up tightly like a burrito.
  5. Fry for crispiness: Heat olive oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down in the pan. Fry them on each side for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy all around. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Cut each egg roll in half if desired and serve immediately. These egg rolls pair well with dipping sauces like keto-friendly ranch, sugar-free ketchup, or a mustard-based sauce for extra flavor!

Tips:

  • For ultra-low carb: Use cheese wraps like Folios instead of low-carb tortillas for a crispy and cheesy outer layer.
  • Air-fryer option: You can air-fry these egg rolls for a healthier, lower-fat alternative. Set your air fryer to 400°F and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway for an evenly crispy texture.
  • Meal prep: These egg rolls freeze well! Prepare them ahead of time, freeze, and simply reheat in the oven or air fryer when ready to eat.
