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:

2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
3 large beefsteak tomatoes (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup olive oil (Pompeian extra virgin olive oil recommended)
Black pepper to taste (freshly ground)

For the Secret Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s mayonnaise preferred)
1 tbsp tomato basting mixture (drained from tomato marinade)

Instructions

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Prepare the Tomato Marinade: Slice the tomatoes thinly and place them into a large dish. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gently turn the slices to coat them evenly in the mixture.
Make the Flavored Mayo: In a small dish, combine mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the drained tomato basting mixture (olive oil, vinegar, and tomato juices). Stir until well combined to create the secret sauce.
Assemble the Wrap: Lay a low-carb wrap flat on a plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayo evenly over it. Layer with shredded lettuce, 3 strips of crispy bacon, and 3 slices of marinated tomatoes.
Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrap to enclose all ingredients snugly. Cut in half diagonally if desired. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and prevent ingredient shifting.

Notes

Cook bacon until fully crispy to avoid soggy wraps and to ensure a firm texture for easy biting.
Drain tomato slices on paper towels briefly before assembling to reduce excess moisture and keep wraps from getting wet.
Warm wraps for 10-15 seconds in the microwave before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
Avoid overfilling the wraps to prevent them from falling apart.
Assemble wraps just before eating or keep wet ingredients separate if making ahead to maintain freshness and crispness.
