Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce Recipe

Introduction

Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce take the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich to a new level of flavor and freshness. These low-carb wraps are packed with crispy bacon, marinated tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a tangy, homemade mayo that adds an irresistible twist. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, they’re easy to make and sure to impress.

Ingredients

• 4 low-carb wraps
• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
• 12 bacon strips
• 3/4 cup lettuce, shredded (whole leaves can also be used)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Step 2: While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes lengthwise. Place the slices in a large dish and drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat them thoroughly.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise. Drain about 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade (olive oil, vinegar, and juices) and stir it into the mayo until well combined, creating a flavored sauce.
4. Step 4: Lay a wrap flat and spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over it. Layer with shredded lettuce, 3 strips of crispy bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomato.
5. Step 5: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose the ingredients. Cut in half if desired, then serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use whole lettuce leaves instead of shredded for a crunchier texture.
• Swap bacon for turkey bacon for a leaner option.
• Add avocado slices for extra creaminess and flavor.
• Try a whole wheat or spinach wrap for a different taste and added nutrients.

Storage

These BLT wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent sogginess, keep the tomato slices separate and add them just before serving. Reheat by removing the wrap from the fridge and letting it come to room temperature, or warm briefly in a pan to keep the bacon crispy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare the ingredients ahead but assemble the wraps just before eating to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess.

What can I use instead of beefsteak tomatoes?

Heirloom or Roma tomatoes work well. Choose firm and ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.

Wraps and Main Ingredients

• 4 low-carb wraps
• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices
• 12 strips of bacon
• 3/4 cup shredded lettuce (or whole leaves)

Marinade and Sauce

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the bacon strips. Fry them until they reach crispy perfection. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Prepare the Tomato Marinade: Slice the beefsteak tomatoes lengthwise into thick halves. Place the slices in a large dish and drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat them evenly with the marinade.
3. Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with one tablespoon of the tomato basting liquid (the mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir until well blended to create a tangy, flavorful mayo.
4. Assemble the Wrap: Place a low-carb wrap flat on a plate and spread one tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over it. Add a layer of shredded or whole lettuce leaves, then arrange three strips of crispy bacon and three marinated tomato slices over the lettuce.
5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap tightly to enclose all the ingredients. Slice in half if preferred, then serve immediately while fresh and flavorful.

Notes

• Use thick-cut beefsteak tomatoes for a juicy and hearty texture.
• Ensure bacon is cooked to your preferred crispiness as it adds important texture contrast.
• The flavored mayonnaise can be adjusted with more or less marinade depending on taste preference.
• Wraps can be warmed slightly before assembling for easier rolling.
• Low-carb wraps make this recipe suitable for those watching their carbohydrate intake.
