Why It Works
The combination of bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce is a classic for a reason. The bacon provides a smoky flavor, the tomatoes add a bit of sweetness, and the lettuce provides a crunchy base.
Using lettuce wraps instead of bread makes this sandwich low in carbs and high in healthy fats. Lettuce is a good source of fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied.
This sandwich is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add other toppings, such as cheese, avocado, or sprouts, to make it even more delicious.
