Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce Recipe
Introduction
The Gourmet BLT Wrap offers a fresh twist on the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. With crispy bacon, marinated tomatoes, and a secret flavored mayo, it’s an easy yet impressive meal perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 low-carb wraps
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
- 12 bacon strips
- 3/4 cup lettuce, shredded or whole leaves
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
- Step 2: While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes into halves lengthwise 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.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices) drained from the dish. Stir well to create the flavored mayo.
- Step 4: Lay a wrap flat on a plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly across the surface. Layer with shredded or whole lettuce leaves, then add 3 strips of crispy bacon and 3 marinated tomato slices.
- Step 5: Carefully roll the wrap to enclose the filling snugly. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add sliced avocado or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese to your wrap.
- Use whole wheat or spinach wraps as a variation for different tastes and added nutrients.
- Try turkey bacon or tempeh bacon as a lighter or vegetarian alternative.
Storage
Store any assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent sogginess, keep the flavored mayo and tomatoes separate until ready to eat. Reheat bacon briefly in a skillet if needed, but the wraps are best enjoyed fresh and cold.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular sandwich bread instead of wraps?
Yes, you can substitute sandwich bread if you prefer. Toast the bread lightly before assembling the ingredients for the best texture.
How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
To avoid sogginess, spread the flavored mayo thinly and layer lettuce between the mayo and tomatoes. You can also prepare the tomatoes and bacon separately and assemble the wrap just before eating.
