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:
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (Pompeian extra virgin olive oil recommended)
- Black pepper to taste (freshly ground)
For the Secret Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s mayonnaise preferred)
- 1 tbsp tomato basting mixture (olive oil, red wine vinegar, and tomato juices drained from the tomato marinade)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon strips until they are crispy but not overly brittle. Once cooked to your liking, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and avoid sogginess in your wraps.
- Prepare the Tomato Marinade: While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomatoes thinly and place them in a large dish. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the tomato slices. Gently turn and brush each slice to coat evenly with the marinade, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with one tablespoon of the drained tomato basting mixture. Stir thoroughly until well blended to create a rich, flavorful secret sauce that will enhance the wraps.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a low-carb wrap flat on a plate and spread one tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over its surface. Then layer with shredded lettuce, follow with three strips of crispy bacon, and add three slices of the marinated tomatoes.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose all the ingredients and prevent spillage. Optionally, cut the wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest textures and flavors.
Notes
- Cook the bacon until fully crisp to avoid sogginess and for a pleasant bite.
- Drain and season tomato slices well to reduce moisture and enhance flavor.
- Warm wraps briefly before assembly to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Do not overfill the wrap to ensure it holds together well.
- Assembled wraps are best eaten within 4 hours; for meal prep, store wet ingredients separately and assemble before eating.
- Try substituting turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for a different dietary preference.
- Mayonnaise can be replaced with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for a lighter or different taste.
- Use any sturdy lettuce such as iceberg, romaine, or mixed greens for the best crunch.
