Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 4 low-carb wraps
- 3/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 12 strips bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
Tomato Marinade
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil (Pompeian extra virgin recommended)
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Secret Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s preferred)
- 1 tbsp tomato basting mixture (drained from the tomato marinade, containing olive oil and vinegar)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry 12 bacon strips until crispy but not brittle. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Prepare the Tomato Marinade: While bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes thinly. Place tomato slices in a dish with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss so each slice is well coated in the marinade.
- Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the drained tomato marinade (olive oil and vinegar mix with tomato juices). Stir until smooth to create the secret sauce.
- Assemble the Wrap: Warm each wrap slightly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to increase pliability. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over each wrap. Layer with shredded lettuce, 3 strips of crispy bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomato per wrap. Avoid overfilling to maintain wrap integrity.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wraps tightly to enclose all ingredients. Let the wrap rest for 2–3 minutes before cutting diagonally in half to help the fillings settle. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- For crispiest bacon and to avoid soggy wraps, ensure bacon is fully cooked and drained on paper towels.
- Drain marinated tomatoes on paper towels if they seem watery to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overfill the wraps to keep them from falling apart when rolled.
- Warming the wraps slightly makes rolling easier and prevents cracking.
- Store cooked bacon in an airtight container layered with paper towels for up to 2 days.
- The secret sauce will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Assembled wraps are best eaten within 4 hours to maintain freshness and avoid sogginess.
- For packed lunches, keep wet ingredients separate and assemble just before eating.
