Meatball Wrap Recipe Ingredients
My Dutch Oven Meatballs were heavenly in this dish! I like to add some crunch to balance out the sauce and then cheese to hold it all together. Here’s what you’ll need:
- frozen or homemade meatballs
- My Dutch Oven Meatballs have all the usual suspects with ground beef, onion, sandwich bread, egg, fresh parsley, garlic, Parmesan cheese and more!
- marinara sauce or homemade tomato sauce
- 8″ tortillas – I used those keto tortillas that are low in carbohydrates
- spinach
- provolone cheese
- black olives
- banana peppers
How to Make Meatball Wrap
I love a hot sammie so be sure to take the extra couple of minutes to heat this meatball wrap in a skillet (or your air fryer!). Here’s how we make it:
- Heat meatballs and sauce in a saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave safe bowl until warm
- Lay out tortillas on a cutting board
- Slice cheese slices in half and place 1/2 slice cheese on each tortilla. Split spinach evenly between tortillas
- Slice meatballs in half and place meatballs (4 halves) and 2 tbsp of marinara sauce in the center of each tortilla on top of spinach
- I like to slice homemade meatballs in half so the wrap is easier to eat!
- If using frozen – they’re more like mini meatballs – so you can leave them whole
- Top with olives and banana peppers
- Sprinkle with a little Italian Seasoning if you like
- Fold ends of tortilla and roll into an enclosed wrap
- Spray non-stick spray in a large skillet and turn on medium high heat
- Once pan is hot, place wraps in skillet seam side down and heat for 2-3 minutes on each side to melt cheese and warm tortillas.
- Cut in half on a diagonal and enjoy!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Whatever you want! Cheese of course! Then add some crunchy toppings to balance out the marinara and the cheese. Here’s more ideas for meatball sandwiches!
Chips are never a bad side for a wrap – but you could also enjoy them with raw veggies like carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or skillet for 2-3 minutes.
Recipe Variations
- Frozen Meatballs – I used homemade and they were delicious – but frozen are a quick and easy shortcut. You could even use chicken meatballs.
- Tacos – I’m not the best at making wraps – so just go easy on yourself and make meatball tacos!
- Mediterranean – mix up the toppings and use a flatbread instead of a tortilla. Leave off the additional sauce and instead top the meatballs with Greek dressing, pesto & feta cheese – but keep the olives & banana peppers!
- Mozzarella, Peppers & Onions – swap out the Provolone for Mozzarella cheese. You could also add sauteed green bell peppers and onions.
