BLT Lettuce Wraps with Avocado

If you like bacon, you’ll love this American breakfast — 15 minutes from craving to table. The macros do the talking: 17g protein, 11g carbs, and 40g fat in every 456-calorie serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 4 slices Bacon
• 4 leaves Romaine hearts
• 1/2 Tomato
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 tbsp Mayo

Steps

1. Lay the bacon in a single layer in a large cold skillet, then set it over medium heat; cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and deeply browned — starting cold renders the fat evenly so the bacon crisps instead of curling.
2. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
3. Dice the tomato and slice the avocado; keep the romaine leaves whole and cold — cold, crisp leaves hold fillings much better than warm, limp ones.
4. Spread a thin layer of mayo on the inside of each romaine leaf.
5. Fill each leaf with the crisp bacon, diced tomato, and avocado slices.
6. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.
7. Tip: build the wraps just before eating — once filled, the lettuce softens within minutes.
