Zesty BLT Wraps with Chipotle Mayo Recipe

Introduction

These Zesty BLT Wraps with Chipotle Mayo bring a flavorful twist to a classic favorite. Crisp bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato wrapped in warm tortillas with melted cheddar cheese make a satisfying meal perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

• 1/2 head iceberg lettuce
• 1 lb thick bacon
• 1 diced tomato
• 4 large flour tortillas (12 inches)
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place bacon strips in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and let cool.
2. Step 2: On a microwave-safe plate, lay one tortilla and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
3. Step 3: Remove the tortilla from the microwave and immediately top with 1/4 of the cooked bacon, followed by a generous amount of lettuce and diced tomato.
4. Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
5. Step 5: Cut each wrap in half for easier handling and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, spread the chipotle mayo inside the tortilla before adding the fillings.
• Substitute iceberg lettuce with romaine or butter lettuce for a different texture.
• Toast the tortillas on a dry skillet for a minute before microwaving the cheese for a slight crispiness.

Storage

Wrap the BLT wraps tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or enjoy cold. Avoid storing with melted cheese for best texture.

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Notes

• For added flavor, toast the tortillas lightly before melting the cheese.
• Adjust the amount of chipotle in the mayo for preferred spiciness.
• Use thick-cut bacon for a meatier texture and better crispiness.
• Wrap the assembled wraps in foil if preparing ahead, and warm slightly before serving.
