Crispy Bacon, Lettuce, and Cheese Tortilla Wraps 🥓🥬🧀

These Bacon, Lettuce, and Cheese Tortilla Wraps are a delightful twist on a classic favorite! Packed with crispy bacon, creamy cheese, and fresh lettuce, these wraps are perfect for a quick lunch, snack, or picnic. Add a zesty sauce for an extra burst of flavor!

Ingredients

For the wraps

• 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
• 8 slices of crispy bacon
• 1 cup of shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
• 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
• 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)

For the sauce

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Start by frying the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.

🥓 For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bacon while it cooks.

• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a tangy sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.

• Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the sauce over each tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.

• On each tortilla, layer the crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and any optional toppings like avocado or diced tomatoes.

• Roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks if needed, or slice in half for serving.

🌯 For a warm wrap, you can grill or toast the wrapped tortillas in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese is melty.

Variations

• Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick! 🌶️
• Vegetarian: Swap bacon for crispy chickpeas or tempeh bacon for a plant-based option.
• Herbal: Add fresh herbs like cilantro or basil into the wrap for a refreshing twist.
• Low-carb: Use large lettuce leaves (like romaine or butter lettuce) instead of tortillas.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp cucumber salad for a complete meal! Perfect for packing and taking along on a road trip or for a busy workday lunch. Enjoy! 😊
