Gourmet BLT Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Gourmet BLT Wraps offer a fresh twist on the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. These low-carb wraps combine crispy bacon, marinated tomatoes, and a flavorful mayo for a satisfying and delicious meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 low-carb wraps
• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
• 12 bacon strips
• 3/4 cup lettuce, shredded or whole leaves
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, fry bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Step 2: Slice the tomatoes lengthwise into thick slices. Place them in a dish and drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat them evenly.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices) until combined to create flavored mayo.
4. Step 4: Lay a wrap flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of flavored mayo evenly over it. Layer with lettuce, 3 strips of bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomato.
5. Step 5: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to encase the ingredients. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add sliced avocado or a sprinkle of crispy fried onions inside the wrap.
• Use whole leaf lettuce instead of shredded for a crunchier texture.
• Try substituting turkey bacon for a leaner option.
• Serve with a side of pickles or a light salad to round out the meal.

Storage

BLT wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent sogginess, keep the flavored mayo and tomatoes separate and assemble just before eating. Reheat the bacon briefly in a skillet or microwave if desired before assembling.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Wraps

• 4 low-carb wraps

Meat

• 12 bacon strips

Vegetables and Greens

• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
• 3/4 cup lettuce, shredded or whole leaves

Dressing and Marinade

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry 12 bacon strips until they are crispy and golden brown. Once cooked to your preference, transfer the bacon strips onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and maintain their crispiness.
2. Prepare the Tomato Marinade: While the bacon cooks, cut the 3 beefsteak tomatoes into thick slices. Place the tomato slices into a large dish, drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently turn and brush each tomato slice with this mixture so they are evenly coated and infused with flavor.
3. Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Take about 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture (a combination of olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices) and drain it into the mayo. Stir thoroughly until well combined, creating a tangy, flavorful mayonnaise spread.
4. Assemble the Wrap: Lay one low-carb wrap flat on a plate. Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo across the surface. Layer some shredded lettuce or whole leaves, then add 3 strips of crispy bacon and 3 tomato slices marinated in the dressing.
5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to secure all ingredients inside. If preferred, cut the wrap in half for easier handling. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crispy, and vibrant flavors of this gourmet BLT wrap.

Notes

• For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the wraps before assembling.
• Use thick-cut beefsteak tomatoes for the best texture and juiciness.
• You can substitute mayonnaise with a light yogurt-based spread for a lighter option.
• To keep wraps from becoming soggy, assemble just before serving.
• Feel free to add avocado slices for a creamy texture.
