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 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
