In our house we are always looking for lunches that are going to fill our kids up for the afternoon. Whether they are going to summer camps, playing at home, headed to the pool, or in school in the fall, they need something that will keep them satisfied. I can’t deal with being hangry as an adult, so I sure won’t expect my kids to.

These BLT Wraps are the perfect solution. They are super easy for a lunch at home, but they make a great bagged lunch for school and work. If you already have your bacon cooked and your dressing made, these can come together in just five minutes!

How to Make a BLT Wrap

This is a brief overview of how easy this delicious lunch recipe is. For the full recipe with all of the measurements see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  1. Cook some bacon. I love using thick cut bacon in this recipe. We used two slices per wrap, but obviously you could add more. See my tips below on cooking bacon.
  2. Assemble the wrap. I added in some turkey in this recipe to bulk it out a little, but you could certainly skip that or replace it with some shredded chicken.
  3. Wrap it up. Fold up the ends and then fold one side towards the middle and continue folding until it is all wrapped up. (See the photos below.)

Homemade Ranch Dressing

We made these with our homemade ranch dressing, and I have to say, I love it so much more than the store-bought version. You can find almost everything you need to make it already in your pantry and refrigerator. Of course if you are short on time or already have the bottle of store-bought in your refrigerator, go with that!

You could also mix these up a little and make them with my Jalapeño Ranch Dressing.

The Best Ranch Dressing Recipe

This is the best Ranch Dressing recipe! It comes together with ingredients you can keep on hand and is way better than anything you can buy in the store.

Cooking Bacon for Wraps

My favorite way to make bacon is in the Air Fryer. Air Fryer Bacon turns out so crips and perfect and it is as to clean up with no splatters. You can also make bacon in the oven for this easy wrap recipe.

Air Fryer Bacon

Air Fryer Bacon is so easy to make! No splatter of grease and no bacon cooking in fat. You will never make bacon another way again!

Making these Low Carb

If you are following a low carb diet, this is a great recipe! Instead of chopping up Romaine lettuce to use inside of the wrap, use the large leaves to hold all of the other ingredients. Bibb lettuce and butter lettuce also make really great replacements for tortilla shells.

FAQ

Can these BLT Wraps be made ahead of time?

Yes! These can be made the night before, especially if you do a good job using the turkey and the bacon as the layers that touch the tortilla and keep the tomatoes and the ranch dressing more towards the inside. Make sure to wrap them in aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a reusable wrap.

Can these wraps be frozen?

Because of the fresh lettuce and the tomato in them, I do not recommend freezing.

What can I use in place of the tortilla?

See our section above on making these low carb!

    I like to meal prep for my 4 day work week. Could I make these ahead of time?

    • Lisa Longley says

      I don’t think these would hold up for that long. The furthest ahead I would make them is 24 hours.

  2. Cathy says

    Seems like these would get soggy by lunchtime at school?

    • Lisa Longley says

      There are actually tips in the post to prevent that.
