BLT Lettuce Wraps
Description
This recipe uses large iceberg lettuce leaves as a vessel to hold the classic BLT filling. The first step removes outer leaves for wrapping and shreds an additional leaf to add texture inside. Tomatoes are diced and combined with mayonnaise and fresh black pepper to create a creamy tomato mixture that echoes the sauce in traditional BLTs.
Bacon is cooked until crisp and chopped, then layered inside the lettuce leaves along with the tomato-mayo mix and shredded lettuce. The assembly is rolled gently for an easy-to-eat handheld wrap.
The cold crispness of the lettuce contrasts with the salty bacon and creamy tomato spread for balanced texture and flavor. Adding avocado is optional and contributes richness.
