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
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Step 2: While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes thinly and place them in a large dish. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gently turn the tomato slices to coat them evenly with the marinade.
  3. Step 3: In a small dish, combine the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade liquid (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir well to create a flavored mayo.
  4. Step 4: Lay a wrap flat on a plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over the wrap. Layer with shredded lettuce, 3 strips of crispy bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomatoes.
  5. Step 5: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose the filling. Cut in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Use center-cut or smoked bacon for less grease and added flavor.
  • Swap red wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice for a different tang.
  • Try Greek yogurt or mashed avocado in place of mayonnaise for a lighter sauce.
  • Use any crisp lettuce variety or substitute large lettuce leaves instead of wraps for a carb-free option.
  • Allow the wrap to rest 2-3 minutes before cutting to keep the filling from spilling out.

Storage

Cooked bacon and sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Assembled wraps are best eaten within 4 hours to prevent sogginess. For packed lunches, keep lettuce, tomatoes, and sauce separate and assemble just before eating for the freshest result.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

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

Yes, regular flour tortillas work well if you’re not watching your carb intake. You can also use whole wheat wraps or even large lettuce leaves for a lighter option.

How do I prevent the wraps from getting soggy?

Make sure your bacon is fully crispy and drained on paper towels. Drain excess moisture from the tomatoes by letting them rest on paper towels before assembling. Also, avoid overfilling the wrap, and keep wet ingredients separate if packing the wraps for later.

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:

  • 3 large beefsteak tomatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (Pompeian extra virgin olive oil preferred)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste (freshly ground best)

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 tomato marinade)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon strips until they are crispy but not brittle. Remove them from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and keep crispy.
  2. Prepare the Tomato Marinade: Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds. Place them in a large dish and drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let rest for a few minutes to drain on paper towels to avoid sogginess.
  3. Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade liquid (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir well until smooth, creating a tasty secret sauce.
  4. Assemble the Wrap: Warm each low-carb wrap for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to make it pliable. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over the wrap. Layer on shredded lettuce, then place 3 strips of crispy bacon, and add 3 slices of the marinated tomatoes.
  5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to encase all ingredients. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes to let flavors meld and fillings settle. Cut diagonally in half if desired, then serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Cook bacon until fully crispy to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Drain tomato slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Warm wraps slightly before assembling to aid rolling without cracking.
  • Avoid overfilling wraps to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Assembled wraps are best eaten within 4 hours for freshness; consider packing components separately for meal prep.
  • Use center-cut bacon for meatier, less fatty texture and better wrapping.
