BLT Wraps Recipe

Bacon: Crispy and savory, bacon adds a delicious crunch to the wraps.

Lettuce: Fresh and crisp, lettuce provides a refreshing contrast to the other ingredients.

Tomatoes: Juicy and flavorful, tomatoes add a burst of freshness to the wraps.

Tortillas: Soft and pliable, tortillas are the perfect vessel to hold all the ingredients together.

Mayonnaise: Creamy and tangy, mayonnaise adds a rich flavor that complements the other ingredients.

When cooking bacon, ensure it is laid flat in the skillet without overlapping to achieve even crispiness. For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of black pepper or paprika on the bacon before cooking. To prevent the tortillas from tearing when rolling, warm them slightly in a microwave or on a skillet. This makes them more pliable and easier to handle.

• Allow the bacon to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the bacon soggy.
• Wrap each BLT wrap individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps maintain freshness and prevents the wraps from drying out.
• Place the wrapped BLT wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This extra layer of protection ensures that the wraps stay fresh longer.
• Store the container or bag in the refrigerator if you plan to consume the wraps within 1-2 days. The lettuce and tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh, so short-term storage is ideal.
• For longer storage, place the individually wrapped BLT wraps in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of how long they’ve been stored.
• When ready to eat, thaw the BLT wraps in the refrigerator overnight. This slow thawing process helps maintain the texture of the tortillas and fillings.
• To refresh the wraps, you can lightly toast them in a skillet or microwave them for a few seconds. This step helps restore some of the original crispiness of the bacon and the softness of the tortillas.
• Avoid freezing BLT wraps with mayonnaise if possible. The texture of mayonnaise can change when frozen and thawed. Instead, add the mayonnaise fresh after thawing the wraps.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the BLT wraps in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Place them on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

• Use a skillet over medium heat. Place the BLT wraps in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side, ensuring the bacon gets crispy again without burning the tortillas.

• For a quick method, use a microwave. Wrap the BLT wraps in a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, checking to ensure they are heated through.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the BLT wraps in the basket and heat for about 5-7 minutes. This method helps maintain the crispiness of the bacon.

• For a toaster oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the BLT wraps in aluminum foil and place them on the rack. Heat for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
