BLT wraps are the kind of meal that feel indulgent yet refreshingly light — crispy bacon, cool lettuce, and juicy tomatoes all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. What makes this version truly shine is the creamy “secret sauce” that ties it all together. It’s tangy, slightly sweet, and just garlicky enough to make every bite crave-worthy. I tried this recipe once with spinach tortillas and a hint of avocado in the sauce, and it turned out spectacular. Whether you’re looking for a quick weekday lunch or a make-ahead option for picnics, these wraps never disappoint. They’re simple, quick, and bursting with satisfying flavors that even picky eaters can’t resist.

Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Bacon – The smoky backbone of the wrap. Use thick-cut bacon for that crispy, meaty texture that balances the creaminess of the sauce.
Lettuce – Crisp and refreshing. Romaine or iceberg lettuce gives that perfect crunch in every bite.
Tomatoes – Choose firm, ripe tomatoes or use cherry tomatoes for extra sweetness and color.
Tortillas – Large flour tortillas work best for easy wrapping. You can swap in whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
Mayonnaise – The creamy base for our secret sauce, giving richness and smooth texture.
Dijon Mustard – Brings a subtle tang and depth that enhances the sauce.
Honey – Just a drizzle adds balance and soft sweetness to the savory flavors.
Garlic Powder – A touch of aromatic depth that makes the sauce irresistible.
Lemon Juice – Brightens the sauce and cuts through the richness beautifully.
Salt and Black Pepper – Essential seasonings to enhance the natural flavors.
Directions
Start by cooking the bacon until crisp and golden. You can either pan-fry it over medium heat or bake it at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes. Once cooked, let it rest on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Next, prepare the secret sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
On a clean surface, lay out the tortillas and spread a generous layer of the secret sauce in the center. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and strips of crispy bacon.
For a flavor upgrade, try adding sliced avocado or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the wraps tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Slice them diagonally for easy serving. Serve immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper if you’re taking them to go.
