Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Sola Sweet & Buttery Keto Bread (52g)
  • 56g 365 Organic Black Forest Uncured Ham
  • 1 Velveeta Original slice (19g)
  • ½ tbsp plain whipped cream cheese (5.5g)

Ingredients — continued

  • 11.46g creator chipotle crema / Liquid Chipotle Sauce (¼ serving in the creator's nested recipe)
  • ¼ cup shredded lettuce (9g)
  • ½ oz regular Bettergoods Carolina Gold Style BBQ potato chips (14.17g)

You want a no-cook lunch built around regular BBQ chips. Keep the chips in the sandwich for crunch; one sandwich is about 285 calories and 24g protein.

Method

  1. 1.SPREAD. Put plain whipped cream cheese on one slice of bread and chipotle crema on the other.
  2. 2.LAYER. Add the 56g ham and one Velveeta slice, then top with shredded lettuce and ½ oz regular BBQ chips.
  3. 3.CLOSE + SERVE. Close the sandwich, gently press, slice and eat fresh so the chips stay crunchy. The listed amounts make one sandwich; footage shows two being assembled.

If something fails

The chips lose their crunch: Assemble and eat fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the chips separate until serving.

The sandwich slides apart: Layer the fillings evenly and gently press the sandwich closed before slicing.

Storage and reheating

Store: Best assembled and eaten fresh. If preparing ahead, store the chips separately and add them just before eating.

Reheat: N/A — no-cook sandwich.

Lasts: Same day for best crunch.
