5 from 60 reviews

These wraps feature crispy bacon, fresh iceberg lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and melted cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with a smoky chipotle mayo for an extra kick. Perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner, these wraps combine easy preparation with bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the wraps:

  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, washed and leaves separated
  • 1 lb thick-cut bacon strips
  • 1 diced ripe tomato
  • 4 large flour tortillas (12 inches)
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

For the chipotle mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Place bacon strips in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Let cool.
  2. Prepare the Chipotle Mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with finely chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
  3. Warm the Tortilla and Melt Cheese: Place one flour tortilla on a microwave-safe plate, sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
  4. Assemble the BLT Wrap: Immediately place 1/4 of the cooked bacon onto the melted cheese on the tortilla. Add a generous amount of iceberg lettuce and diced tomato on top. Spread a spoonful of chipotle mayo over the fillings.
  5. Fold and Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
  6. Repeat and Serve: Repeat the warming, assembling, and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Cut each wrap in half for easier handling. Serve warm or at room temperature as preferred.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers in the mayo according to your spice preference.
  • Warming the tortilla slightly before assembling helps prevent cracking when rolling.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated; warm briefly before serving.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn or gluten-free tortillas.
