Gourmet BLT Wraps Secret Sauce (Printable version)

Crisp lettuce, juicy marinated tomatoes, and perfectly cooked bacon wrapped with a tangy special sauce.

# What you need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 low-carb wraps or flour tortillas, 10-inch
02 - 3/4 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
03 - 12 strips bacon, cooked until crispy

→ Marinated Tomatoes

04 - 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
05 - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
06 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
07 - Salt to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Secret Sauce

09 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
10 - 1 tablespoon tomato marinade from marinated tomatoes

# Steps to follow:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool completely.
02 - In a shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced tomatoes, turning gently to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
03 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato marinade. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
04 - Warm the wraps in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable. Lay each wrap flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of secret sauce evenly over the surface. Top with shredded lettuce, 3 strips of bacon, and 3-4 slices of marinated tomato drained briefly on paper towels. Avoid overfilling.
05 - Roll each wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Let the wraps rest for 2-3 minutes to help ingredients settle. Cut in half on a diagonal if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • No more sogginess: Marinated tomatoes add flavor without turning everything into mush, and wraps contain the filling way better than bread ever could.
  • That secret sauce is genuinely addictive: It's just mayo and tomato marinade, but somehow it tastes like you're hiding something delicious.
  • Perfect for meal prep or quick dinners: Everything comes together in 30 minutes, and you can prep components ahead if you're smart about it.
02 -
  • Drain your marinated tomatoes briefly on paper towels before adding them to the wrap: This one small step prevents the whole thing from becoming a soggy mess by the time you eat it.
  • Don't skip warming the wraps: Cold tortillas crack and resist rolling; a 15-second microwave warm changes everything about the texture and your sanity level.
03 -
  • Cut your finished wrap on a diagonal: This isn't just for presentation—it actually makes the wrap easier to hold and less likely to want to unroll as you eat.
  • If you're meal-prepping these, assemble everything except the warm wraps the night before: When you're ready to eat, warm the wrap and assemble in two minutes flat, which is the entire point of this recipe.
