BLT Wrap
Our tomatoes from our garden have been coming for about 3 weeks now. Way earlier than normal, however, the large tomatoes are just starting. What else do you do when that happens? Well BLT’s of course! I wait all summer for that wonderful garden tomato taste. I refuse to eat hot-house tomatoes so I am ready to dig in when these ripen.
My husband cooked up the bacon for me (such a sweetie) and he made a normal BLT with toast. I planned on doing that but I looked at that beautiful Romaine Lettuce and I thought how great it would taste to use the lettuce as a wrap. I absolutely love bread with my BLT’s but let me tell you, these were amazing! I could have eaten 10 of these! I think I loved them so much because all of that bacon and fresh garden tomato flavor seemed it intensify with the loss of the bread. I will definitely be making these again!
Ingredients
Lay a piece of Romaine Lettuce on a plate with the edges curling upwards.
Add mayonnaise or Miracle Whip all along the length of the lettuce.
Cut a large thick slice of tomato in half and lay on the lettuce.
Add two pieces of bacon on the tomato slices,
fold the lettuce over the bacon and enjoy!

Hello. I just love BLTs but never thought of not having bread, what a great healthier BLT. Hope your having a great weekend.
Thank you it has been a wonderful weekend! I hope you are as well!
It was a fantastic weekend til last night when our stove broke down. Guess I cook too much.
Oh no so sorry! I wish mine would break I would love a new one!!! Hahahaha Hope you get a new one soon! Time to bring out the slow cooker! Mine never leaves my counter.
Thanks for sharing!
That sounds wonderful!
Thanks Robin! My first time making a BLT this way….amazing!
Definitely going to make the next time BLTs are on the menu!
😃Enjoy!
I know what I’m having for lunch. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome! Wish I had cooked bacon to have one too! Lol
Great idea!
Thanks I didn’t plan on doing this until I went to make it! So glad I did!
Nice recipe
Thanks!
now we are talking – this is the bomb! my hubs eats brats in romaine…
however, can we use real mayo and not the whip ?
Yes you can use what ever you want. Mayonnaise is very good in BLT’s! I make my own mayonnaise (So simple) but didn’t have any made up. However I do love Miracle Whip as my mom used it when I was a child. I love the brat in the lettuce idea as well! Great idea!
my mom liked the whip too – and I know some who argue it is the best! glad you are so open!
It looks like we both had the same idea this week! No wonder, with such lovely tomatoes around… 🙂
Nothing better than the tomatoes now! I just started eating Romaine Lettuce. I have always eaten iceberg lettuce and it makes the best wrap! I don’t even buy iceberg lettuce anymore!
Everything is better with bacon!!!
Absolutely! Lol
This sounds wonderful!❤
Thanks it was so delicious!
This is so delicious! I love how this tastes without the bread !
Right! All the wonderful flavors seem to intensify! So good! Thank you Lisa!
ooooh I am making one this week, thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome! You won’t believe how good this is!
Yum! That’s my kind of food!
Thank you Winnie!
nice one.. loved it <3 we have something similar on our blog do visit us and follow us if you like them 🙂
Thanks I will check it out!
The bacon makes it look so tasty.
The bacon makes it taste so tasty too! Lol Thank you Dan!
Oooooh..bacon!
Oh yeah!
Hmm no carbs, my version of yummy healthy diet 🙂
And it tastes better than with toast!
Not that is great creativity. Never thought to have it in a wrap.
I didn’t plan on it but the lettuce was sitting there so large I thought why not! Best thing I did because it was so many less calories and tasted so much better!
I will give this a try. It is such a great idea. Thank you.
You’re welcome and enjoy!
Thanks
So elegant in its simplicity.
So many times simple is best! Thank you Matt!
Yummy!
It’s amazing! Thanks Pam!
I used to do this all the time (when I still ate bacon). The family would have their sandwich and this was my gluten-free option. It worked out perfectly. Except mayo is a culinary sin (imo) and never allowed in my house. 🙂
Isn’t nice though how you can substitute things like mayo with things like mustard? Recipes are so adaptable to work to your own liking. I rarely make a recipe as written. You have so much will power!
I preferred my BLTs plain. Mustard is a fave of mine though. I even want to try making my own mustard from scratch. I love vinegar based foods!
If you make your own let me know how it was!
I saw it on a cooking program and I was like, OOOOOOOOH! So, I think I will give it a go. I’ll post about it when I do it.
Can’t wait!
And you saved calories not having the bread – you could have some more bacon that way. 🙂
Ohh I ate plenty believe me..hahahaha
Your words makes it even yummier!
Aw you are so kind Kalyn! Thank you!
