I’ve always had a soft spot for anything wrapped up in a soft tortilla, and this Easy BLT Wrap became a favorite from the very first bite. The smoky crunch of bacon, the crisp freshness of lettuce, and the juicy tang of ripe tomatoes come together beautifully in a handheld meal that feels both comforting and light. It’s my go-to for busy weekdays, relaxed weekend lunches, and even those moments when I want to impress someone with very little effort.

What really excites me about this recipe is how quick it is. I can have everything ready in less than 15 minutes, yet it feels so satisfying and substantial. I love how versatile it is too. Sometimes I’ll toss in a few slices of avocado or drizzle it with ranch or chipotle mayo just to change things up. The BLT has always been a classic, but wrapping it up takes it to a whole new level of convenience.

I can’t count the number of times this wrap has saved me when I didn’t want to heat up the kitchen or when unexpected guests showed up. It’s always a hit, and everyone can customize theirs however they like. I’m thrilled to share it here because I know you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again, just like I do.

Ingredients

Bacon is the star here, lending that irresistible smoky-salty crunch that defines a BLT. Lettuce provides a refreshing, crisp bite that balances the richness of the bacon. Tomatoes add juiciness and a hint of acidity, brightening up each mouthful. Tortillas are essential for holding everything together in a soft, easy-to-handle wrap. I also include mayonnaise for creaminess, but feel free to swap in your favorite spread or leave it out entirely.

How to Make Easy BLT Wrap

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

Fry or bake the bacon until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness. Drain it on a paper towel and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves and slice the tomatoes into thin rounds. Make sure the vegetables are dry to keep the wrap from getting soggy.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Briefly warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave so they’re pliable and easier to roll.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each tortilla. Lay down lettuce leaves, followed by tomato slices and crispy bacon strips.

Step 5: Roll and Serve

Carefully roll up the tortillas, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half for easier handling and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

This Easy BLT Wrap is easy to adapt to your taste. Swap regular bacon with turkey bacon or even crispy tempeh for a vegetarian twist. For an extra creamy bite, add slices of avocado or a smear of ranch dressing. You can use whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas if you prefer, and adding shredded cheese or even a fried egg can turn this into a hearty brunch option.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

I love serving these wraps with a side of kettle-cooked potato chips or a crisp dill pickle spear for that classic deli vibe. For something lighter, pair with a simple green salad or even my roasted zucchini and squash recipe for a colorful and healthy side.

Storage and Reheating Tips

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. Keep the bacon, lettuce, and tomato stored separately and assemble when ready to serve. If needed, you can gently reheat the bacon in a skillet or microwave before adding it to the wrap. Assembled wraps don’t hold up well overnight, as the tortilla can become soggy.
