Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 2–3 wraps (1–2 servings)

 Ingredients

For the Egg Salad:

4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onion

For the Wraps:

6–8 large butter lettuce leaves (or romaine/iceberg)

4–6 slices cooked bacon, crispy

1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

Optional: avocado slices for extra creaminess

 Instructions

Prepare the Egg Salad

In a bowl, mix chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chives/green onion if using.

Stir until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Cook the Bacon

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8–10 minutes.

Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay 2–3 lettuce leaves overlapping slightly on a plate to form a sturdy wrap base.

Spoon a generous portion of egg salad in the center.

Top with a few tomato slices and 1–2 strips of bacon.

Optional: Add a few avocado slices for richness.

Wrap and Serve

Fold the sides in and roll like a burrito (or eat taco-style if leaves are smaller).

Serve immediately, or secure with toothpicks if packing for later.

 Tips & Tricks

Use sturdy lettuce: Butter or romaine lettuce works best. For extra durability, layer two leaves together.

Meal prep: Store egg salad and bacon separately in the fridge and assemble fresh when ready to eat.

Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne to the egg salad or a dash of hot sauce before serving.

No mayo option: Substitute with mashed avocado or Greek yogurt for a mayo-free version.
