BLT Wraps With Secret Sauce Recipe

I recently prepared these BLT wraps loaded with eight slices of thick-cut bacon, juicy tomato rounds, and crisp lettuce, all tied together by a secret sauce with Dijon mustard and smoked paprika. This recipe is a game changer for Wraps To Go Lunch Ideas, packing bold flavors in a quick 15-minute creation.

I find that one of the best lunch ideas is a creative twist on an old favorite. My BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce are everything you would expect and more.

I start with 8 slices of thick cut bacon that I cook until they’re perfectly crispy. Then I take 2 large tomatoes, sliced about 1/4 inch thick, and add in 2 cups of shredded lettuce (or about 4 chopped lettuce leaves if you prefer).

All of these get wrapped up in 4 large flour tortillas for a convenient meal. Now, the secret sauce is what really sets this recipe apart.

It’s made by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, along with a dash of garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Whether it’s on your BLT with cheese or drizzled on other wraps, this sauce brings a burst of flavor that you gotta try.

Why I Like this Recipe

I really love how easy this recipe is to make; I mean it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish so I can whip it up even on busy days.

I really enjoy the crispy, thick cut bacon and the way its salty flavor balances with the fresh tomatoes and crunchy lettuce.

The secret sauce is something else too, it adds this amazing tangy burst of flavor that makes every bite super satisfying, and sometimes I even use some extra on my regular BLT.

I also like that everything comes together perfectly without any extra fuss so it always feels like a treat even on a regular day.

6. On top of the sauce, sprinkle a handful of shredded lettuce or your chopped lettuce leaves.

7. Place 2 slices of the crispy bacon over the lettuce, making sure it’s spread out.

8. Arrange 2-3 tomato slices over the bacon.

FAQ

BLT Wraps With Secret Sauce Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For the bacon, you can replace thick cut bacon with turkey bacon if you’re lookin for a leaner option, though the flavor will be a bit different.
• If you dont have flour tortillas, you can try using whole wheat tortillas or even wrap your ingredients in large lettuce leaves for a lighter twist.
• Instead of the large tomatoes, you might use Roma tomatoes which often have a firmer texture and a sweeter bite.
• If shredded lettuce isnt available, chopped romaine or even baby spinach can be a good substitute to keep that fresh crunch.
• For the secret sauce, if you dont have Dijon mustard, you could swap it out with yellow mustard or even a touch of spicy brown mustard, and if you’re out of apple cider vinegar, a splash of white wine vinegar or lemon juice works just fine.

Pro Tips

1. Try letting the secret sauce chill in the fridge for about 5 minutes before using it; this helps all the flavors get to know each other better and makes the sauce even more tasty.
2. If youre finding that the tortillas are getting too stiff, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 15-20 seconds; they’ll be soft and easy to roll.
3. When youre frying the bacon, remember to lay it flat in the pan so it cooks evenly; turning it too often can sometimes result in uneven crispness.
4. For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle a tiny pinch of extra salt and pepper on the tomatoes right after slicing them; it’ll bring out their natural sweetness and acidity.
