BLT Lettuce Wraps

January 16, 2014 Amanda Plott

When I first had the thought to do BLT Lettuce wraps, I was scared that they wouldn't be filling enough or hefty enough to satisfy as a meal. So when I went to work putting these together, I made sure to use some nice big romaine leaves and lots of chunks of tomato as filler.

These were super amazing and oh-so-filling! I even had trouble in getting all three down but they were just so delicious and guilt-free that I felt I owed it to myself and the rest of the world to bully through the last one.

I think the next time that I make these, I'll do two per serving instead and serve along side a bowl of Skinny Tomato Basil Soup!

I had considered using a head of traditional iceberg lettuce instead for the wraps, but romaine has a lot more nutrients and was a lot more 'wrap' friendly. Iceberg always seems to snap and bust holes it in when I've used them for 'wraps' in the past. The romaine held up really well and worked just as flawlessly as I had imagined.

I also tossed around a few ideas for dressing in my head but finally settled on a mix of mayo and greek yogurt with not much added to it. I know that when I was younger and my mom would make BLT's that they were fully loaded with mayo, so I wanted that same effect to roll along my tastebuds here without being so fatty.

Mission accomplished.

By the way - if you're more of a turkey bacon fan, that would work here too! But, I've always found that a low sodium center cut bacon suited my taste a bit more and was pretty much equal in terms of calories found in turkey bacon.
