03 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced

# Directions:

01 - Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until incorporated.
03 - Lay two lettuce leaves slightly overlapping on a flat work surface to form the foundation of each wrap.
04 - Spread a generous layer of garlic mayo across the center of each lettuce base.
05 - Arrange 2 bacon slices, tomato slices, avocado slices, and red onion (if using) in an even layer over the mayo.
06 - Sprinkle generously with freshly cracked black pepper over all filling components.
07 - Fold the sides of the lettuce leaves inward and roll tightly to completely enclose the filling. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
08 - Serve immediately while lettuce remains crisp and filling is at optimal temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and complete without the bloated feeling that usually follows a heavy sandwich.
  • Assembly takes minutes once bacon is done, making it perfect for busy weeknights or when you want something that feels restaurant-quality at home.
  • The cracked pepper and garlic mayo combination elevates simple ingredients into something unexpected and crave-worthy.
02 -
  • Wet lettuce is the enemy—if your leaves aren't completely dry before assembly, moisture will make them wilt and your wrap becomes a flop instead of a triumph, so take the extra minute to pat them down.
  • Assemble just before eating if you're prepping ahead, keeping all components separate in containers so the tomato juice doesn't weep onto the lettuce and turn everything into a sad, soggy situation.
03 -
  • Slice your tomato and avocado just before assembly—the moment these fruits hit air, they start changing, so timing matters and patience isn't actually a virtue here, speed is.
  • If you're making these for a group, set up an assembly line with each component in its own small bowl, letting people build their own wraps so everyone gets exactly what they want and no one blames you for putting too much red onion on theirs.
