Savor the classic flavors of a BLT reimagined with these fresh and healthy BLT Lettuce Wraps, a satisfying low-carb option that's just 4 points per serving! Crisp romaine lettuce leaves take the place of bread, creating the perfect base for smoky, center-cut bacon, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a creamy touch of light mayonnaise. Add a slice of avocado for extra indulgence or keep it simple and refreshing. These gluten-free wraps are quick and easy to prepare, with just 20 minutes from start to finish, making them an ideal choice for a light lunch, snack, or appetizer. Packed with bold flavors yet light on calories, they're a delicious way to stick to your healthy eating goals without sacrificing taste.
Wash and thoroughly pat dry the romaine leaves. Select the sturdiest ones to use as the βwrapsβ.
Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble or break into smaller pieces.
While the bacon cooks, slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
Lay each romaine lettuce leaf flat. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of light mayonnaise down the center of each leaf.
Top each lettuce leaf with some crumbled bacon, a few slices of cherry tomatoes, and, if using, a thin slice of avocado.
Sprinkle each leaf with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully fold or roll the lettuce leaf to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy!
