Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce Recipe

Introduction

Say goodbye to messy BLT sandwiches with these gourmet BLT wraps that keep everything neatly tucked inside a soft tortilla. Enhanced by a flavorful secret sauce and quick to prepare, they’re perfect for busy days or a satisfying lunch.

Ingredients

• 4 low-carb wraps
• 3/4 cup shredded lettuce
• 12 bacon strips (cooked until crispy and crumbled)
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• Salt to taste
• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Black pepper to taste (freshly ground preferred)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2. Step 2: While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes thinly and place them in a large dish. Drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat evenly.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir well to create the flavored mayo.
4. Step 4: Lay a wrap flat and spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over it. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, then 3 bacon strips, and 3 slices of marinated tomatoes.
5. Step 5: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose the ingredients. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use center-cut or applewood smoked bacon for a meatier, less greasy wrap experience.
• Swap low-carb wraps for flour tortillas or large lettuce leaves for different dietary needs.
• Try turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon alternatives for a lighter or meat-free version.
• Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, mashed avocado, or hummus for a healthier twist.
• Allow the tomato slices to drain on paper towels before assembling to prevent sogginess.
• Warm wraps briefly in the microwave to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
• Don’t overfill the wrap to keep it intact and easy to eat.

Storage

Cooked bacon and secret sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance; store in airtight containers, keeping bacon layers separated with paper towels to maintain crispness. Sauce stays fresh refrigerated for up to 5 days. Once assembled, BLT wraps are best eaten within 4 hours to avoid sogginess. For packed lunches, store lettuce, tomatoes, and sauce separately and assemble just before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour tortillas instead of low-carb wraps?

Yes, any type of wrap works well. Flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps can be used if you don’t need to limit carbs.

How do I prevent the wrap from becoming soggy?

Ensure bacon is fully crispy and drained, let sliced tomatoes rest on paper towels to remove excess moisture, and avoid overfilling the wrap. Also, assembling the wrap just before eating helps keep it fresh.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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 recommended)

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 from the marinade)

Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry 12 strips of bacon until crispy but not too brittle to avoid crumbling in the wrap. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Crumble once cooled for easier wrapping.
2. Prepare the Tomato Marinade: While the bacon cooks, slice 3 large beefsteak tomatoes thinly. Place the slices in a large dish and add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, salt to taste, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently turn the tomato slices ensuring each side is coated with the marinade. Allow to rest for a few minutes on paper towels to drain excess moisture before assembling.
3. Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture taken from the marinade (which includes olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful secret sauce.
4. Assemble the Wrap: Lay one low-carb wrap flat on a plate. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly across the wrap surface. Layer with about 3 tablespoons of shredded lettuce, 3 strips of crispy crumbled bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomato. Avoid overfilling to prevent the wrap from falling apart.
5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose all ingredients snugly inside. Let the wrap rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing it diagonally in half to help the filling settle. Serve immediately for the best fresh texture and flavor.

Notes

• Use center-cut bacon for a meatier, less greasy wrap texture.
• Cook bacon until completely crisp and drain well to prevent sogginess.
• Allow marinated tomatoes to drain excess moisture on paper towels before assembling the wrap.
• Warm wraps for 10–15 seconds in the microwave to make them more pliable for rolling.
• Assemble wraps just before eating if packing for lunch to avoid sogginess.
• Store bacon and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 2 and 5 days respectively.
• Customize by substituting turkey bacon, different tomato types, or lettuce varieties as desired.
