Ingredients:

• BLT Base:

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon

  • 2 large romaine lettuce leaves

  • 1 medium tomato, sliced

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

• Optional Additions:

  • Mayonnaise (for a non-strict keto option)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • Chopped red onion

  • Sliced cucumber

Instructions:

1. Crisp Up the Bacon

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and browned to your preference. Remove the bacon from the air fryer and drain on paper towels.

2. Prep the Veggies

While the bacon cooks, wash and dry your romaine lettuce leaves. Slice your tomato and avocado.

3. Assemble and Enjoy

Place a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate. Top it with sliced tomato, avocado slices, and a few pieces of crispy bacon.

Optional Toppings

Drizzle with a touch of mayonnaise (for a non-strict keto option), season with salt and pepper to taste, and add any other desired toppings like chopped red onion or sliced cucumber. Wrap the lettuce leaf around the filling and enjoy your delicious keto BLT wrap!

Tips:

• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking the bacon. This will prevent it from crisping properly. Cook in batches if necessary.

• For a more flavorful lettuce wrap, char the romaine leaves slightly over a stovetop burner before assembling.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, the lettuce may become a bit wilted.

These keto BLT lettuce wraps are the perfect answer to a lunchtime craving. 

They're quick, easy to prepare, require minimal ingredients, and are bursting with flavor. 

So ditch the high-carb bread and embrace the refreshing deliciousness of lettuce wraps!
