These Keto BLT Lettuce Wraps are a quick, healthy twist on the classic BLT — no bread, all flavor. Perfect for anyone on a paleo or low-carb diet, they’re packed with crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and fresh tomato all nestled in crisp lettuce leaves. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, they’re an ideal choice for busy people who want a satisfying, nutritious meal. The creamy mayo-Dijon spread adds a punch of flavor that makes each bite irresistible.
Ingredients
- 4 large romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Set aside on a clean work surface.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. This will be your spread.
- Lay each lettuce leaf flat on a plate or cutting board. If the leaves are not large enough for a wrap, you can overlap two leaves to create a sturdier base.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo mixture down the center of each lettuce leaf.
- Place 1–2 slices of crispy cooked bacon lengthwise on top of the spread, depending on the size of the lettuce leaf.
- Add 2–3 tomato slices and a few slices of avocado over the bacon on each wrap. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf toward the center, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling. Repeat for each wrap.
- Serve immediately, securing each wrap with a toothpick if necessary to keep them together. For a neater eating experience, you can also wrap them in parchment paper or foil.

Storage Instructions
To store leftover Keto BLT Lettuce Wraps, it’s best to keep the components separate. Store the cooked bacon, sliced tomato, and avocado in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the lettuce leaves dry and unassembled, wrapped in a paper towel and stored in a resealable bag to maintain crispness. The homemade mayo-mustard spread can be refrigerated for up to a week. Freezing is not recommended, as the lettuce and avocado do not thaw well and can become mushy.
Reheating Instructions
For optimal texture and flavor, reheat the bacon only. Place it on a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until warmed and crisp. Avoid microwaving the fully assembled wraps, as the lettuce will wilt and become soggy. Assemble the wraps fresh after components are warmed, if desired.
Additional Ingredients or Swaps
Enhance your Keto BLT Lettuce Wraps with nutrient-dense, paleo-friendly ingredients. Add microgreens or baby spinach for extra fiber and vitamins A and C. A hard-boiled egg or grilled chicken can boost protein content significantly without compromising the paleo approach. Swap regular mayonnaise for avocado oil-based mayo for additional healthy fats. Including fermented vegetables like sauerkraut adds a probiotic punch while supporting gut health. All of these additions maintain a low-carb profile and complement the flavor and nutrition of the wraps.
