Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Blt Wraps
Step 1: Make the Secret Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until smooth and well combined. This creamy secret sauce adds a unique twist to your BLT wraps, so take your time ensuring all ingredients meld perfectly. Set the bowl aside for later.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled bacon. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease, ensuring you retain that perfect crunch for your wraps.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
To prepare your flour tortillas for rolling, warm them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave them for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable. This step makes it easier to wrap your delicious BLT ingredients without tearing, ensuring a beautiful presentation every time.
Step 4: Assemble the Wrap
Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and generously spread a layer of the secret sauce over the entire surface, reaching the edges. This not only adds flavor but also helps to keep the ingredients in place. A generous portion will elevate each bite of your BLT wraps, ensuring a delightful experience.
Step 5: Add Fresh Vegetables
Sprinkle a handful of chopped romaine lettuce evenly across the sauce-covered tortilla. Follow with the diced tomato and slices of avocado, ensuring you cover the surface well. The vibrant colors and textures of these fresh veggies will add both flavor and visual appeal to your BLT wraps.
Step 6: Top with Bacon
Now, sprinkle the crispy crumbled bacon over the vegetables, distributing it evenly. This step enhances the classic flavor of your BLT wraps and brings in that delightful crunch. Make sure every bite contains the savory taste of bacon paired with the fresh ingredients you’ve layered.
Step 7: Roll the Wrap
Starting from the bottom of the tortilla, roll it tightly while folding in the sides to secure all the delicious fillings inside. This technique not only keeps the contents together but also makes it easier to enjoy your BLT wraps. Repeat this process for each tortilla until you've assembled all of them.
Step 8: Slice and Serve
If desired, slice the finished wraps in half for easier handling and added presentation. Arrange them on a serving plate and offer extra secret sauce on the side for dipping. These irresistible BLT wraps are now ready to be served, making for a delightful and satisfying meal that everyone will love.

BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce Recipe FAQs
What kind of tortillas should I use for these wraps?
Absolutely! I recommend using large flour tortillas for their soft and chewy texture, which perfectly holds all the flavorful ingredients together. However, you can also use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist or if you prefer a different flavor.
How do I store leftover BLT wraps?
Store your wrapped BLT wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep them tightly wrapped to prevent sogginess. If they're assembled but not yet enjoyed, try adding a layer of parchment paper between layers to keep everything fresh.
Can I freeze BLT wraps for later?
Very much! To freeze your BLT wraps, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a labeled freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat in a skillet for about 3-5 minutes until warmed through.
What can I do if my wraps keep falling apart?
If your wraps are falling apart, it might be due to overstuffing or not warming the tortillas enough. Make sure the tortillas are warm and pliable before building your wraps. Try using less filling or securely rolling them with the sides tucked in. Finally, ensure your secret sauce is not too watery, as moisture can cause them to fall apart.
Are these BLT wraps suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Absolutely! You can easily make these wraps suitable for a gluten-free diet by using gluten-free tortillas. They hold the filling just as well, and you can still enjoy the delicious flavors of the crispy bacon, fresh veggies, and secret sauce without compromise.
Can I make the secret sauce ahead of time?
Yes, making the secret sauce in advance is a fantastic idea! You can prepare it a day or two beforehand. Store it in the fridge in a sealed container, and just give it a good stir before spreading on your wraps. This way, the flavors can meld together even more, enhancing your delicious BLT wraps!
