Egg white wraps are the newish lunch obsession and many people eat these on the Keto Diet. These are similar to egglife wraps. They are perfect for a gluten-free diet to replace bread or a wrap. You can fill the tortillas with leftover shredded chicken, sauteed onions and green bell peppers, sauteed eggs, cheese or veggies and add a dollap of sour cream or guacamole.
These are also the perfect wrap for a breakfast burrito. I like these better than using liquid egg whites as the egg whites are fresh!
