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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
