Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Bacon
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon high quality
For the Avocado Aioli
  • 1 medium ripe avocado pitted and scooped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise light or regular
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper freshly ground
For the Wraps
  • 8 large butter lettuce leaves or romaine hearts, separated and washed
  • 8 oz sliced deli turkey breast good quality, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1/4 cup microgreens or alfalfa sprouts (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

Cook the Bacon
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the Avocado Aioli
  1. In a small mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until mostly smooth. Add mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Prepare the Vegetables
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato, red onion, and cucumber thinly.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Lay out 2 lettuce leaves for each wrap, overlapping slightly if desired to create a larger base. Evenly distribute the thinly sliced turkey breast onto each lettuce cup.
Add Fillings
  1. Top the turkey with the sliced tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber. Spoon a generous amount of the avocado aioli over the fillings.
Finish and Serve
  1. Sprinkle the crumbled crispy bacon over the aioli. If using, add microgreens or alfalfa sprouts. Carefully fold or roll the lettuce wraps to enclose the filling. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the avocado aioli. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, as the lettuce can wilt and the avocado aioli may brown over time. You can prep the bacon and aioli ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
