Ingredients
Scale
Wraps and Filling
- 4 low-carb wraps
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
- 12 bacon strips
- 3/4 cup lettuce, shredded (or whole leaves)
Tomato Marinade
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Flavored Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry 12 strips of bacon until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Tomato Marinade: While bacon is cooking, slice the tomatoes lengthwise into thick halves. Place the slices in a large dish and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Gently turn the slices ensuring each side is coated with the marinade.
- Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture (the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and tomato juices drained from the marinade). Stir until well mixed to create a flavorful mayo sauce.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay one low-carb wrap flat on a plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over the wrap. Layer with shredded or whole lettuce leaves, 3 strips of crispy bacon, and 3 slices of the marinated tomato.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll up the wrap to enclose the fillings snugly. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately for a fresh, tasty BLT wrap experience.
Notes
- Use thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Marinating tomatoes enhances their flavor and adds juiciness to the wrap.
- For crispier bacon, consider baking the bacon strips on a wire rack in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Low-carb wraps are used to keep this recipe lighter but you can substitute with your favorite tortilla or flatbread.
- The flavored mayo can be prepared in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the crispness of the bacon and the freshness of the vegetables.
