Paleo BLT's - Crunchy, Crisp, and Filling
For summer nights when it's much too hot to even think about turning on the oven, turn on just one burner on the stove and create these paleo BLT's with avocado and wrapped in rice paper. I know rice paper isn't the most paleo of ingredients on the planet, but the actual grain content is negligible. This recipe serves two but can be adjusted with some simple math
Ingredients:
12 slices bacon, uncured bacon for the best paleo option
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1 avocado, sliced
6 rice paper wrappers
6 large butter lettuce leaves or 3 romaine leaves torn in half widthwise
3 teaspoons paleo mayo or dressing of your choice

1 - Fry the bacon and drain it on some paper towels
3 - Once the bacon is cooked and the veggies are chopped, set the tomatoes, avocados, and bacon aside. Fill a large bowl with water and prepare the rice paper wraps. One at a time, dip them in the warm water and hold them in the water while the paper changes texture and becomes pliable. (Jeez this sounds violent. I promise it's not).
5 - Next, place 2 slices of bacon, 4 or 5 tomato halves, and 1 avocado slice on top
6 - Drizzle your favorite paleo dressing or mayo on top like a tasty punctuation mark 7 - Roll it up tightly, folding the ends into it as you go. If the wrap folding motion reminds you of your last cheat meal burrito at Chipotle, you're doing it right 8 - Place 3 wraps on each plate and chow down |
