Enjoy the flavors of a BLT sans bun with our lettuce wrap version which encases savory bacon in a refreshing blanket of lettuce and tomatoes. A smear of lemon aioli escalates lettuce wraps to another level. Serve with a hardboiled egg for more calories and protein.
Low Carb BLT Wraps
Ingredients
- 4 slices (40 grams) uncooked center-cut bacon (certified gluten-free if necessary)

- 2 medium (180 grams) Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 large (50 grams each) hardboiled eggs, peeled and sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
Cook bacon until desired doneness. Set aside on paper towels so excess fat can drain.
