- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or your favorite creamy dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the lettuce leaves: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, making sure they are large enough to wrap around the filling.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise or creamy dressing onto each leaf.
- Add the filling: Place a couple of slices of tomato, one or two slices of bacon, and a few slices of avocado (if using) in the center of each lettuce leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap and serve: Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
