Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Wraps
My guys love BLTs – any way you slice them, they gobble ’em up. Here’s a great way to make an American favorite as a wrap. Great while watching your favorite game on the TV or as part of a buffet table. Stack ’em and wrap ’em in foil for your next picnic or outing. Maybe you’re just looking for a light meal. Serve these wraps with a little deli salad (such as potato) or some chips. These are so versatile and oh so easy to make, assemble and serve.
BLT Wraps
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 large head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (optional)
16 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Combine mayonnaise and tomatoes in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
Fry bacon, drain on paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, crumble bacon into a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
Warm Tortillas on a flat griddle sprayed with a little cooking spray. This will soften tortillas and make it easier to roll. Stack warm tortillas on a plate.
Working with the top tortilla, spread the mayonnaise-tomato mixture evenly over one side of the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Layer lettuce, onions, and bacon evenly over tortilla; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roll tortilla about a quarter turn; fold end toward center and continue to roll. Cut wrap in half diagonally, and secure with wooden pick.
Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat until all the tortillas have been filled. Serve and enjoy. These are great “on the run” as they are easy to wrap in foil and take it along wherever you go.
