Ingredients

• 4 low-carb wraps
• ¾ cup shredded lettuce
• 12 beef strips, cooked until crispy and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt to taste
• 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup olive oil (preferably Pompeyan extra virgin olive oil)
• Black pepper to taste, freshly ground
• ¼ cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s mayonnaise)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry the beef slices until they are crispy and well rendered. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled slightly, crumble the beef into bite-sized pieces.

The ingredients below are listed exactly as provided, with no additions or substitutions.

Step 2: Marinate the Tomatoes

Slice the beefsteak tomatoes into halves lengthwise and place them in a large dish. Add:

• Olive oil
• Red wine vinegar
• Salt
• Black pepper

Gently turn the tomatoes to coat them evenly. Allow them to sit for a few minutes so they absorb the flavors and release their juices.

Step 3: Prepare the Secret Sauce

In a small dish, combine the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the tomato basting mixture from the marinated tomatoes. Stir until smooth and fully blended. This simple step creates a rich, tangy sauce that elevates the entire wrap.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay one wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayonnaise evenly across the wrap. Layer with:

• Shredded lettuce
• Crumbled crispy beef
• Marinated tomato slices

Step 5: Roll and Serve

Roll the wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Cut in half if desired for presentation. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for Best Results

• Use freshly ground black pepper for maximum aroma and depth
• Let the tomatoes marinate briefly, but not too long, to avoid soggy wraps
• Assemble just before serving to keep the wraps crisp
• Warm the wraps slightly if desired, but do not overheat
