Wrap up your keto tuna melts in cheese and enjoy a super-tasty and quick lunch. Each one only has 3 grams net carbs.
Tuna Roll Ups
Whether you’re a huge fan of tuna or on the fence about how it tastes, you’ll love this recipe. It’s so delicious that it will convert even skeptical people.
That’s because it isn’t just flaky tuna wrapped in a cheddar cheese wrap. The creamy sauce is robust, with sweet red onion, tart celery, and rich cream cheese. If you have a blender or food processor, use it to mix the sauce together.
If you don’t, that’s fine too, but you’ll want to use an electric mixer in order to get it to completely mix together.
Keto Tuna Melts
You don’t have to make and use cheddar cheese wraps for this recipe. You can use your favorite type of low-carb bread or wrap. The reason I love using the cheese wrap is that it gives the melts a nice crispy texture.
I also love that with the cheddar cheese wraps, each one only has 3 grams net carbs. Some keto tortillas are pretty high in net carbs.
What To Eat With Tuna
This is a really delicious and easy tuna lunch! What you eat with it depends on how much time you have. You could go as quick and easy as a handful of low-carb veggies and ranch dressing.
If you have a bit more time, make some low-carb 7-layer salad. It’s a hearty and delicious salad that tastes incredible with these roll ups!
For colder days, get yourself a bowl of dill pickle soup with bacon. The flavors in that soup really taste incredible with the tuna wrap ingredients.
Easy Canned Tuna Lunch
When it comes to cheap and nutritious lunch ideas, you can’t really beat tuna! Canned tuna has one heck of a shelf life, and there are so many different ways you can prepare it.
I like to stock up on canned tuna and eat it in a bunch of different ways so I never get tired of it. You can go classic and make a quick, cold salad.
This keto everything but the bagel tuna egg salad has so much flavor that you forget you’re eating tuna salad. You can even make a quick lunch with keto tuna pasta. It’s a simple recipe that takes just 10 minutes.
Or make a heartier keto tuna noodle casserole for dinner. That’s a low-carb take on a classic family recipe and you’ll love it!
Keto Roll Up
The best type of cheese to use for these keto roll ups is shredded cheddar cheese. As it melts, it becomes nice and crispy while still being pliable enough to form into a nice wrap.
If you can, I suggest grating cheddar cheese at home. It will have a better flavor and create a better wrap for you.
These roll ups taste best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven! I don’t suggest trying to store them for longer than a day or so.

Remove the cheese from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes. While the cheese circles are still pliable, add a layer of the tuna fish filling down the center of each one.
