Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps
- 4 low-carb wraps
- 3/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 12 bacon strips, cooked until crispy and crumbled
For the Tomato Marinade
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil (Pompeian extra virgin olive oil recommended)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, freshly ground to taste
For the Secret Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomato Marinade: In a bowl, combine the sliced beefsteak tomatoes with red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
- Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove them and drain the excess fat on paper towels, then crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the low-carb wraps flat. Spread a spoonful of mayonnaise evenly over each wrap as the secret sauce base. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a generous portion of the marinated tomato slices, and top with the crumbled crispy bacon.
- Wrap Up: Carefully roll up each wrap tightly to hold the ingredients in place. Cut them in half if desired for easier eating.
- Serve: Serve the Gourmet BLT Wraps immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh basil or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the tomato marinade.
- Low-carb wraps make this recipe suitable for those watching their carbohydrate intake.
- Cook bacon to your preferred level of crispiness; thicker cuts may require additional cooking time.
- Can be made vegetarian by substituting bacon with crispy tempeh or smoked mushrooms.
- Prepare the tomato marinade ahead to let flavors meld, but assemble wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess.
