Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, heat over medium heat and add bacon strips, cooking for about 6–8 minutes or until they turn crispy and golden brown. Use tongs to flip them halfway for even cooking. Once done, transfer the crispy bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease while you prepare the rest of the wrap.
Step 2: Marinate the Tomatoes
Slice the tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then sprinkle in a pinch of salt and black pepper. Gently toss the tomatoes to ensure they’re evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes, allowing their flavors to intensify and excess moisture to drain away, keeping your Gourmet BLT Wraps crisp.
Step 3: Prepare the Secret Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with a splash of the tomato marinade you just prepared. Use a whisk to blend them together until smooth. This unique secret sauce elevated the flavor of your Gourmet BLT Wraps, providing a creamy, tangy complement to the crisp bacon and fresh veggies.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of your secret sauce evenly across the tortilla, leaving about an inch around the edges. Next, layer on the fresh lettuce for crunch, followed by the crispy bacon and marinated tomatoes, ensuring a visually appealing distribution of ingredients for those tasty Gourmet BLT Wraps.
Step 5: Roll and Serve
Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly until all ingredients are enclosed. Take a moment to tuck in the sides as you go to prevent any filling from spilling out. Once rolled, let the wrap rest seam-side down for a minute, then slice it in half to reveal the vibrant ingredients inside, ready for enjoying!

Make Ahead Options
These Gourmet BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce are a fantastic option for meal prep, saving you valuable time during busy weeknights! You can cook the bacon and prepare the secret sauce up to 3 days in advance, storing the bacon in an airtight container with paper towels to maintain its crispness. Additionally, marinate the tomatoes overnight, as this enhances their flavor while keeping the wrap fresh. When you’re ready to assemble, simply spread the secret sauce on the tortilla, layer in the lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes, and roll it up for a quick, satisfying meal. Enjoy a gourmet taste with minimal effort!
