BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato) sandwiches are a classic and traditional hand-held for lunch. But, when you don't eat bacon and you don't eat gluten, what do you do? I've tried all the vegan commercial 'bacons', and I've tried lots of commercial GF breads, but the resulting sandwich is "wah-wah-waaaah." I decided to upgrade the recipe for a vegan, GF approach with the same flavors, but a much improved textural experience!
Bring on Coconut Bacon: vegan crispy treats that taste a lot like bacon, and a Buckwheat Crepe to wrap your fillings. And, don't slather regular mayonnaise on your wrap. Use Smoky Aioli instead, to enhance the bacon-y smoky flavor throughout. You'll never think of BLT's the same! Absolutly delicious, and absolutely not a hand-held! Makes a beautiful presentation for any meal of the day.
I love Buckwheat Crepes as wraps; a gluten-free alternative to cardboard-like commercial breads. They are a lot more tender with a slightly spongy, yet thin texture that works great as wraps and can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a week. Buckwheat (actually not related to wheat, and contains no gluten), is a healthful grain, containing gut-friendly fiber and a low glycemic index, giving your energy staying power.
BLAT in Buckwheat Crepe is a fantastic meal-prep recipe. Make the Coconut Bacon, the Smoky Aioli, and the Buckwheat Crepes on meal-prep day and assemble this meal in 5 minutes all week long, for lunch or for dinner, or maybe even breakfast?
FODMAPs: The Buckwheat Crepe is low-FODMAP, as is the Coconut Bacon. Limit tomato slices and avocado to low-FODMAP servings, and use low-FODMAP ingredients for your Aioli.
