This BACON CHIPOTLE LETTUCE WRAP is really good for lunch. It is also good done with my homemade Shawarma Mayo for a tasty variation:
I’m sodium sensitive so I only use one thick slice of bacon on each lettuce wrap. You might want to use two or even three!
INGREDIENTS:
1 leaf romaine lettuce
.5 oz. red bell pepper, cut into strips
.5 oz. onion, cut into strips
.5 oz. poblano pepper, cut into strips
1 tsp. bacon grease
1 piece thick-sliced bacon (or 2 thin slices)
2 T. chipotle mayonnaise (see below)
CHIPOTLE MAYO: 2T. homemade mayonnaise + ½ chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded and mashed well. Puree or mash these two ingredients together with a fork until a smooth mixture is formed.
DIRECTIONS: Cook the slice of bacon in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the extra tsp. of bacon grease (if needed). Add pepper and onion strips and sear/saute until they begin to soften and lightly brown. Lift the peppers and onions onto the lettuce leaf. Add the bacon. Spread or squirt the chipotle mayo on the center. Finally, chow down!
