INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese provides the creamy foundation that keeps the filling together. Soften the cream cheese so spreads readily and mixes well with the other components. It also adds richness without the addition of carbohydrates.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The strong, savory flavor of cheddar cheese counterbalances the filling’s smoothness. When combined, it melts a little bit, strengthening the texture. Freshly shredded cheddar improves consistency and flavor.
BACON:
- The ranch and cheddar go well with the smoky, salty crunch that bacon brings. Cook the bacon to make it crispy so the filing will not get soggy. Finely crumbling it aids in distributing the flavor in each bite.
HERBS & SPICES:
- The addition of herbs and spices from ranch seasoning unifies the flavors. The dish remains keto-friendly by selecting a sugar-free variant. It adds tartness without dominating the other ingredients.
GREEN ONIONS:
- Green onions break the richness with their light, fresh bite. The pinwheels are visually appealing due to their hue as well. The easiest way to distribute the taste is to cut them coarsely.
KETO TORTILLAS:
- Low-carb tortillas make these roll-ups, which also help control carbs. They can roll without breaking because of their flexibility. Choose a brand with low net carbohydrate content for optimal effects.
