BLT Wraps Recipe

Bacon: Cooked until crispy, this provides the savory and crunchy element of the wrap.

Lettuce: Fresh and crisp, it adds a refreshing crunch to the wrap.

Tomatoes: Sliced and juicy, they bring a burst of flavor and moisture.

Tortillas: Large and soft, they are the base that holds all the ingredients together.

Mayonnaise: Creamy and tangy, it adds a smooth texture and enhances the overall taste.

To ensure your bacon stays crispy in the BLT wraps, cook it in the oven on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows the fat to drip away, preventing the bacon from becoming greasy. Bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

• To store your BLT wraps, first wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to keep them fresh and prevents them from drying out.
• Place the wrapped BLT wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This adds an extra layer of protection against moisture and air.
• Store the container or bag in the refrigerator. Your BLT wraps will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
• If you want to freeze the BLT wraps, follow the same wrapping procedure. Then, place them in a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag.
• Label the container or bag with the date so you can keep track of how long they’ve been stored. BLT wraps can be frozen for up to 1 month.
• When you’re ready to eat the frozen BLT wraps, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
• For a quick thaw, you can use the microwave. Remove any aluminum foil and wrap the BLT wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave on a low setting for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to ensure it doesn’t overheat.
• If the tortilla becomes too soft or soggy after thawing, you can reheat it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to restore some of its texture.
