Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are refreshingly simple but each plays a vital role in delivering that perfect blend of flavors and textures. From the smoky crunch of bacon to the cool crispness of lettuce and the juiciness of tomato, every element adds something special.
- Bacon (12 strips): The star protein that brings a crispy, salty punch that defines the whole wrap.
- Romaine lettuce (2 cups, chopped): Adds a fresh crunch and vibrant green color, balancing the richness of bacon.
- Large tomatoes (2, sliced): Provides juicy sweetness and acidity that brightens every bite.
- Lavish wraps (4): Soft, slightly chewy flatbreads that hold everything together without overpowering the flavors.
- Plain low-fat Greek yogurt (1/2 cup): Adds creaminess and tang to the sauce without heaviness.
- Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons): Brings smooth richness to the sauce, helping it cling to the wrap ingredients.
- Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon): Offers a subtle heat and complexity to make the sauce zing.
- Red wine vinegar (1 teaspoon): Lifts the sauce with sharp acidity, balancing all the creamy and savory notes.
How to Make BLT Wraps Recipe
Step 1: Crisp Up the Bacon
The first step is to cook the bacon to your preferred crispness. Pan-frying or baking works well—just make sure to watch closely to avoid burning. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease, ensuring the wrap doesn’t get soggy.
Step 2: Whisk Together the Tangy Sauce
While the bacon cooks, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. This sauce is the secret ingredient that makes these BLT Wraps Recipe so special, providing creaminess with a bright punch.
Step 3: Assemble Your Wraps
Lay out your lavish wraps and spread a generous scoop of the sauce right in the center. Layer on a small handful of crisp romaine lettuce, followed by 2 to 3 juicy tomato slices, and then add 3 strips of perfectly cooked bacon. Carefully roll the wrap tightly so it holds together all these delicious layers. Repeat this for each wrap, and your meal is ready to enjoy.
How to Serve BLT Wraps Recipe
Garnishes
For a beautiful presentation, try sprinkling some freshly cracked black pepper or a few torn basil leaves on top before serving. A light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or a pinch of smoked paprika can also add an extra layer of flavor that friends will definitely notice.
Side Dishes
Pair your BLT Wraps with simple side dishes like sweet potato fries, a crisp cucumber salad, or even a bowl of your favorite homemade soup. These sides complement the wrap’s textures and flavors while offering variety to your meal.
Creative Ways to Present
For gatherings or packed lunches, slice the wraps diagonally and secure them with colorful toothpicks. You can also serve them alongside dipping bowls filled with extra sauce or your favorite hot sauce to add some excitement. Wrapping them in parchment paper makes for an appealing, picnic-ready package.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, place the wraps in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. To prevent the lettuce from wilting, wrap them in parchment paper to absorb moisture. They are best eaten within 24 hours to maintain freshness and texture.
Freezing
Freezing BLT wraps is not ideal as the fresh lettuce and tomato will lose their crispness and watery vegetables can become soggy when thawed. It’s best to prepare the components separately if you want to freeze anything ahead of time.
Reheating
If you prefer your bacon warm, remove the lettuce and tomato before reheating the wrap in a skillet or microwave just until heated through. Then reassemble with fresh greens and tomato for the best taste and texture.
FAQs
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Absolutely! Turkey bacon works well if you want a leaner alternative. Just cook it according to package instructions and expect a slightly different flavor and texture, but still delicious.
What type of bread is best for these wraps?
Lavash flatbreads are ideal because of their pliability and softness, but you can also use large flour tortillas or even whole wheat wraps for a healthier option.
Can I make the sauce in advance?
Yes, the sauce can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. This allows the flavors to meld and gives you a quick assembly later on.
Are there vegetarian options for the BLT Wraps Recipe?
Certainly! You can substitute bacon with crispy tempeh, smoked tofu, or even grilled eggplant slices to keep a smoky, crunchy component while keeping it vegetarian.
How can I keep the wraps from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, always drain cooked bacon well and apply the sauce just before assembling. Also, avoid overloading with juicy tomatoes and assemble the wrap right before eating for maximum freshness.
