🥓 Ingredients

For the Wraps

8 large romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves (washed and dried)
8 slices bacon
1 large tomato, sliced
1 small avocado, sliced (optional but recommended)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

For the Keto BLT Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. Prepare the Lettuce Wraps

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly. Choose large leaves that can easily hold the fillings without tearing.

3. Make the Creamy BLT Sauce

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Lay a lettuce leaf flat on a plate. Add:

2 slices crispy bacon
Tomato slices
Avocado slices (if using)
A sprinkle of shredded cheese

Drizzle a spoonful of the creamy BLT sauce on top.

5. Fold and Serve

Fold the lettuce around the fillings like a wrap or taco. Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.

💡 Tips for Perfect Keto BLT Lettuce Wraps

Use sturdy lettuce like romaine or iceberg to hold the fillings without breaking.
Bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes if you prefer a less messy cooking method.
Add protein such as grilled chicken or turkey slices to make the wraps more filling.
Pat tomatoes dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy wraps.

🔄 Variations

1. Spicy BLT Wraps
Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.

2. Chicken BLT Lettuce Wraps

3. Avocado Ranch BLT
