These crisp and crave-able lettuce wraps are inspired by the beloved BLT, but because we ditched the bread, they’re lighter and fresher for summer. Replacing the bread with tender Bibb leaves also means these wraps are low-carb and keto-friendly. Oh, and don’t worry — there’s still just as much bacon as the original.
Lettuce Wraps for Lunch, Dinner, or Anytime in Between
These colorful wraps are simple and satisfying. You’ll pile juicy cherry tomatoes, smoky bacon, and buttery avocado inside crisp lettuce leaves, then drizzle everything with a creamy lemon-chive dressing. They make for a fun lunch, a hearty appetizer, or even a light dinner. Better yet, bake the bacon ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. That way you can make these BLT lettuce wraps almost immediately whenever the craving strikes.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 8
leaves from 1 medium head butter lettuce, such as Boston or Bibb
- 6 slices
bacon (about 6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons
mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon
finely chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon
freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pint
cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1
medium avocado, diced
Instructions
Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 400°F. Lined a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Lay the bacon on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until deep golden-brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Meanwhile, stir the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, and pepper together in a small bowl; set aside.
Once the bacon is cool, transfer it to a cutting board and coarsely chop it. Fill each lettuce leaf with tomatoes, bacon, and avocado. Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Make ahead: The bacon can be cooked and chopped a day ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
