How to Make Avocado and Bacon Egg Salad Wraps
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and dice.
While eggs cook, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small bits.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice until smooth but with a few small chunks remaining.
Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the avocado and stir until well combined.
Gently fold in the diced hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
Spoon the egg salad mixture into the center of the lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra chives if desired and serve immediately.
Tips for Best Results
-
ยท
To prevent the avocado from browning, ensure you use fresh lemon juice and keep the salad tightly covered if not serving immediately.
-
ยท
For an even lower-calorie version, replace all mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
-
ยท
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the avocado base.
-
ยท
Make sure the eggs are completely cooled before mixing with the avocado to maintain the best texture.
