Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Thick-cut Bacon (4-6 strips)
- Romaine or Iceberg Lettuce (1 cup, chopped or whole leaves)
- Ripe Tomatoes (1 medium, sliced)
- Flour Tortillas (2 large)
- Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Begin by cooking your bacon until it is crispy but not burnt. You want that perfect crunch to contrast with the softness of the wrap. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly for maximum crunch, then slice the tomatoes into thin, even rounds. Pat down with a paper towel if they seem too juicy to avoid sogginess.
- Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the tortillas on a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wrap: Spread a layer of mayonnaise evenly over the warmed tortilla. Layer on the crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Wrap It Up: Fold the sides in and roll tightly from one end to the other. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for a satisfying crunch and better hold in the wrap.
- Pat tomatoes dry to prevent sogginess.
- Toast tortillas lightly to add subtle flavor and prevent tearing.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an aromatic twist.
- Place lettuce last in the layering to shield the tortilla from tomato juice and keep the wrap crisp.
