Ingredients
For the flatbread:
- 1 ⅓ cups whole wheat flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, omit if you’re not a garlic fan)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup mashed sweetpotato (see notes)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the BLTs:
- 8 slices of bacon
- 3 medium tomatoes, sliced thick
- 2 cups butter lettuce leaves, loosely packed (or any preferred lettuce)
- ¼ cup light mayonnaise
Instructions
- Start by preparing the flatbread ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the mashed sweetpotato and olive oil. Combine by hand in the bowl, kneading the dough for a few minutes until all the ingredients are well combined and a smooth ball of dough forms. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the bacon in a skillet according to package directions. (You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet). Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel lined plate for now.
- When the skillet has cooled down a bit, remove most of the bacon grease, leaving a thin layer in the pan for cooking the flatbreads (optional – you can also use a dry skillet or sprayable oil).
- Divide the ball of flatbread dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball using your hands, then place on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into an oval shape.
- Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1-2 pieces of rolled out dough, depending on the size of your skillet. Cook for 60-90 seconds per side. Remove and set aside on a plate while repeating until all flatbread is cooked.
- Spread a tablespoon of light mayo on each flatbread. Add a handful of lettuce, several slices of tomato, and two slices of cooked bacon to one side of the flatbread. Fold the other side over and eat like a taco. Enjoy!
Notes
- To get 1 cup of mashed sweetpotato, you’ll need one extra-large sweetpotato or two medium-large sweetpotatoes. Peel, chop, and boil these for about 15 minutes, then drain and mash. When in doubt about the amount, cook extra and use any leftovers in other recipes.
- If the dough seems too dry after a few minutes of kneading, add a little extra mashed sweetpotato until it comes together properly. This can happen if flour is packed into the measuring cup instead of spooned and leveled.
- Using bacon grease or sprayable oil in the pan when cooking the flatbread is optional, however this can help enhance the flavor. A little goes a long way!
- The nutrition analysis below assumes approximately 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or oil is used total for cooking all the flatbreads. Cooking in a dry skillet will reduce the calories and fat.
