Gourmet BLT Wraps Secret Sauce (Print Version)

Crisp lettuce, marinated tomatoes, and smoky bacon combined with a tangy sauce for a fresh handheld meal.

# 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

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a 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 the sliced tomatoes, turning gently to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
03 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
04 - Warm the wraps in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable. Lay each wrap flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of secret sauce evenly over the surface. Top with shredded lettuce, 3 strips bacon, and 3-4 slices of marinated tomato, draining briefly on paper towels to prevent sogginess. Avoid overfilling.
05 - Roll each wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Let the wraps rest for 2-3 minutes to help ingredients settle. Cut in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The marinated tomatoes are bright and tangy, so every bite tastes intentional instead of like a filler vegetable.
  • No more grease dripping down your hands or wrapping paper soaking through by lunchtime tomorrow.
  • You can make it ahead, wrap it tight, and it actually holds up in a cooler better than any traditional sandwich.
02 -
  • Overstuffed wraps are the enemy—they split open and spill their insides somewhere embarrassing like during a meeting or while walking up stairs.
  • Draining those marinated tomatoes on paper towels before assembly is non-negotiable; soggy wraps happen when you skip this step and ruin everything you've built.
03 -
  • The secret sauce is honestly just the revelation that a little bit of the marinade transforms mayonnaise from neutral into something worth talking about.
  • Pat your bacon completely dry after cooking—any lingering moisture will steam the lettuce and defeat the entire purpose of achieving crispness.
