Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Jalapeño Ranch
In a medium bowl, combine:
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Buttermilk
- Jalapeño
- Lime juice
- Parsley
- Chives
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
For a smoother dressing, blend all ingredients in a food processor for 30 seconds.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Allow it to cool slightly before assembling the wraps.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and dry the lettuce.
Shred the lettuce and dice the tomatoes.
Slice the avocado and prepare any additional toppings you plan to use.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave or briefly in a dry skillet.
This makes them easier to roll without tearing.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread 2–3 tablespoons of jalapeño ranch down the center of each tortilla.
Layer with:
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Crispy bacon
- Avocado slices
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Add any optional toppings.
Step 6: Roll the Wraps
Fold the sides inward.
Roll tightly from the bottom up to fully enclose the filling.
Place seam-side down.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Cut each wrap diagonally in half.
Serve immediately with extra jalapeño ranch for dipping.
Tips for the Best BLT Wraps
Use Crispy Bacon
Extra-crispy bacon adds the perfect crunch and prevents soggy wraps.
Dry the Lettuce Well
Excess moisture can make the wraps soggy.
Chill the Dressing
Allowing the dressing to chill for 15–30 minutes enhances the flavor.
Roll Tightly
A tight roll helps keep the ingredients together while eating.
Serve Fresh
These wraps taste best shortly after assembly.
Variations
Spicy BLT Wrap
Add extra jalapeños and a dash of hot sauce.
Turkey BLT Wrap
Replace some or all of the bacon with sliced turkey.
Chicken BLT Wrap
Add grilled chicken breast for extra protein.
Southwest BLT Wrap
Include black beans, corn, and cilantro.
Low-Carb BLT Wrap
Use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
