Pizza Sub Wrap



When I was a kid we used to have a pizza place nearby that served hot subs made with lunch meats, tomato paste and mozzarella cheese. I was a teenager before I realized that there was any other kind of "sub" sandwich. And since I've been grown, I've never found the pizza place kind of sub anywhere but my hometown. So I learned to make a version of it at home, using deli buns.

This version contains the same toppings but in a low carb tortilla. It's quite good. Although I keep hearing the "Hot Pockets" tagline as sung by Jim Gaffigan in my head whenever I make them.

For each wrap you will need:

1 low carb tortilla
1 T. tomato paste
1 slice bologna, cut in half
1 slice hard salami, cut in half
2 slices lunchmeat ham (I used Oscar Meyer Smoked Ham lunchmeat)
Small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 square of foil big enough to wrap the sandwich for the oven

Spread tomato paste on tortilla. Lay out meat slices to mostly cover the tortilla. (You will use both halves of the bologna and salami on the sandwich.) Sprinkle the cheese over the meat, and fold the wrap in thirds. Wrap in foil. Bake at 450 for approximately 10 minutes. Allow to cool a few minutes before eating, the center will be hot!
