3. Ingredient Notes
The success of your BLT Wraps depends on quality ingredients. Crisp, oven-fried compact 6-in-1 digital air fryer helps achieve perfectly crispy bacon without excess grease, but you can also pan-fry it for that traditional crunch. Fresh, vibrant romaine or iceberg lettuce adds a refreshing crunch, while ripe, heirloom tomatoes provide juicy sweetness and color.
Opt for thick-cut bacon for maximum crunch and flavor. For spreads, choose a silky mayonnaise or avocado mash to add creaminess. For a touch of gourmet, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper or a dash of smoked paprika.

5. How to Make Easy Ultimate BLT Wraps
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
Place bacon strips in your air fryer or skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes in the air fryer at 400°F. The smell of sizzling bacon is irresistible and guarantees a crispy texture that holds up well in a wrap.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
While the bacon cooks, wash and dry your lettuce leaves and slice ripe tomatoes into thin, even rounds. Use vibrant, plump tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness. Set aside for assembly.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a large tortilla flat on a plate or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise or avocado spread for richness. Layer crispy bacon, followed by lettuce and tomato slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor. Roll tightly, tucking in the ends, and slice diagonally for presentation if desired.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Enjoy your BLT wraps immediately for maximum crunch, or wrap in foil for a quick on-the-go meal. Pair with chilled drinks using your ice maker for the perfect combo.
6. Expert Tips for Success
- For extra flavor, try adding a slice of cheddar or some crispy onion strings inside the wrap.
- If you prefer a smokier taste, sprinkle smoked paprika or add a dash of hot sauce to your spread.
- Ensure your bacon is evenly cooked in a single layer to prevent uneven crispiness. Use a wire rack in your air fryer for best results.
- To keep wraps neat, cut them in half on the diagonal, revealing the colorful layers inside.
7. Variations & Substitutions
If you’re looking to customize your BLT Wraps, consider these options:
- Vegetarian option: Replace bacon with grilled tempeh or smoked tofu.
- Gluten-free: Use lettuce leaves or gluten-free tortillas.
- Extra protein: Add sliced turkey, ham, or chicken for a heartier meal.
8. Storage & Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat the wrap in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a skillet until warm and crispy again. Be aware that lettuce may wilt, so it’s best to add fresh greens when serving leftovers.
9. FAQ
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
While ideal consumed immediately, you can prepare components ahead and assemble just before eating to keep everything fresh and crispy.
What’s the best way to make crispy bacon without excess grease?
The air fryer is excellent for achieving crispy bacon with minimal mess and grease splatter.
Can I substitute gluten-free tortillas in this recipe?
Absolutely! Use gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves to make a low-carb, gluten-free version of these delicious bacon lettuce tomato wraps.
