Looking for an easy, delicious, and healthy lunch? These BLA Lettuce Wraps are naturally low in carbs and perfect for an on-the-go lunch. Made with crispy bacon, crunchy lettuce, and ripe avocados, you’ll want to make these for lunch every single day!

 

I know what you’re thinking… BLA sounds suspiciously like BLT. This recipe comes from our friend Alyssa over at Macaronie Bites and she hates tomatoes. So instead of making these lettuce wraps stuffed with bacon and tomatoes, she stuffed them with bacon and avocado!

Ingredients

  • Revolution Farms Whole Leaf Romaine Lettuce
  • Bacon
  • Avocado
  • Spicy Mayo (optional)

Directions:

  • Use large lettuce leaves that are big enough to hold the filling
  • If all fails, use toothpicks to hold your wraps together!
  • Lay your lettuce leaves down and fill with your filling of choice
  • Roll
  • Secure
  • Dip
  • Enjoy!

For all the BLT lovers, here’s a lightened up, low-carb option made with our Buttery Bibb lettuce! This includes three fun variations with delicious flavors! Buttery Bibb’s soft leaves are perfect for lettuce wraps:

BLT Lettuce Wraps 3 Ways

Start with one Bibb leaf laid out on plate or cutting board. Then add:

  • Bacon, tomato, hard boiled egg, mayo, chives, OR
  • Bacon, tomato, blue cheese, OR
  • Bacon, tomato, avocado, greek yogurt ranch sauce (¼ c. greek yogurt, 1 tbsp mayo, 1-2 tbsp milk, ranch seasoning powder)

This satisfies the BLT flavor profile without all the carbs, and adds a little extra flavor in each one with unexpected ingredients. Enjoy!
