Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

6 large leaves of Romaine or Butter lettuce (for the wraps)

6 slices of beef (cooked and crispy)

1 ripe avocado (peeled, pitted, and sliced)

1 large tomato (sliced)

1 small cucumber (optional, thinly sliced for extra crunch)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional, for a creamy texture)

A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions:

Prepare the beef :

Cook the beef until crispy. You can do this in a pan, in the oven, or with an air fryer. Once done, place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

Prepare the veggies:

While the beef is cooking, wash and dry your lettuce leaves. Set them aside to dry completely. Slice the avocado and tomato, and if you’re using cucumber, slice that too.

Assemble the wraps:

On each lettuce leaf, layer your ingredients. Start with the tomato slices, then add the avocado slices, a few pieces of crispy beef , and the cucumber slices (if using). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Add mayo or Greek yogurt (optional):

If you want a creamier texture, spread a little mayo or Greek yogurt on the lettuce leaves before adding the veggies. A small squeeze of lemon juice also adds a nice fresh kick.

Wrap it up:

Gently fold the lettuce around the fillings, creating a wrap. If the lettuce leaves are large, you can use 2 to hold everything together.

Serve: Enjoy immediately while the bacon is crispy and the veggies are fresh!

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a little hot sauce or mustard.
• If you’re looking for a different protein, try adding grilled chicken or turkey..
• This recipe is very customizable, so feel free to experiment with other veggies like avocado or bell pepper.
