# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the nostalgia of a BLT without the carb crash that usually follows, so your afternoon energy stays steady.
  • These come together in under thirty minutes, perfect for when you're hungry now but still want something that feels a little fancy.
02 -
  • If you assemble these even an hour ahead, the lettuce starts to weep from the tomato and mayo, and you end up with something closer to a sad salad than a wrap—so resist the urge to meal-prep these.
  • Mincing the garlic instead of using powder or a press changes everything; there's a freshness that only whole garlic can deliver, and it's worth the extra thirty seconds.
03 -
  • If you want to add smoked paprika to the mayo, do it—just a light sprinkle transforms the whole thing into something that tastes intentionally smoky instead of just assembled.
  • Keep your pepper mill nearby while you eat because the first grind tastes amazing, and you'll want more before you're halfway through.
