Start by cooking the bacon. Place the slices of bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking.
While the bacon is cooking, wash the iceberg lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease.
Assemble the sandwiches by laying two iceberg lettuce leaves flat for each serving. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly across the lettuce leaves.
Place three bacon slices over the mayonnaise layer on each serving.
Top the bacon with a few tomato slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes for flavor.
Close the sandwich by folding the lettuce leaves tightly over the fillings.
Serve the low carb BLT sandwiches immediately and enjoy this refreshing and flavorful meal.
