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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
