Gourmet BLT Wraps Secret (Printable)

Crisp lettuce, marinated tomatoes, and crispy bacon wrapped with a tangy sauce in a fresh, easy dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 low-carb wraps or flour tortillas, 10-inch
02 - 3/4 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
03 - 12 strips bacon, cooked until crispy

→ Marinated Tomatoes

04 - 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
05 - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
06 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
07 - Salt to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Secret Sauce

09 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
10 - 1 tablespoon tomato marinade from marinated tomatoes

# Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon strips until crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool completely.
02 - In a shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Add sliced tomatoes and gently coat with marinade. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
03 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of tomato marinade. Mix until smooth and creamy.
04 - Warm wraps in microwave for 10-15 seconds until pliable. Lay flat and spread 1 tablespoon secret sauce over surface. Layer with lettuce, 3 bacon strips, and 3-4 marinated tomato slices. Avoid overfilling.
05 - Roll each wrap tightly, folding sides inward to secure filling. Rest for 2-3 minutes. Cut diagonally in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The marinated tomatoes elevate this from ordinary to something you'll crave, tasting like summer in every bite.
  • No messy sandwich chaos—wraps actually contain the filling without requiring your full attention to eat them.
  • Ready in 30 minutes total, making weeknight dinners feel less like an obligation and more like a small victory.
02 -
  • Draining the marinated tomatoes on paper towels before assembling prevents all that oil and vinegar from soaking into your wrap and making it fall apart in your hands.
  • Don't skip warming the wraps—cold tortillas crack and split, turning assembly into frustration instead of the 5-minute task this should be.
03 -
  • Cook bacon the morning of if you're assembling wraps later—it stays crispier than reheating, and you can crumble it right before using.
  • If you're making these ahead, assemble without tomatoes and marinate them separately, adding slices right before eating to prevent sogginess from stealing the show.
