- Half cup mozzarella cheese shreds

- Half tsp. Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- We utilize high-fat mozzarella cheese because it has a low-carb count, and it melts smoothly. Replace it with the mild cheddar or provolone, which works properly for keto.
BUTTER:
- Unsalted butter provides healthy fats and perfect flavor in these tortillas. I use garlic-infused olive oil or ghee instead as a replacement.
KETO TORTILLA:
- Use the tortillas that are made from coconut or almond flour, having lower net carbs. Swap it with the homemade fathead dough or a thin cheese wrap for keto.
GARLIC:
- This ingredient delivers a rich aroma and taste while maintaining a low-carb count. You can alternate it with a small quantity of garlic powder, but don’t use the garlic pastes with extra sugar.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- It helps to improve the crispy texture and provides a strong flavor with a reduced carb count. We can substitute it with the Pecorino Romano or Asiago in place of it.
