Ingredients

  • Large Flour Tortillas
  • Thick-Cut Beef Bacon
  • Crisp Butter Lettuce or Romaine Hearts
  • Ripe, Heirloom, or Vine-Ripened Tomatoes
  • Creamy Avocado
  • Mayonnaise
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Non-Alcoholic Worcestershire Sauce
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Maple Syrup or Honey
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Microgreens (optional)
  • Red Onion (optional)
  • Sharp Cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese (optional)
  • Fresh Basil Leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Gourmet Beef Bacon – Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lay your thick-cut beef bacon slices in a single layer. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is beautifully crispy and golden brown. Once crispy, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat. Once cooled slightly, you can break or chop the bacon into smaller, bite-sized pieces, or leave the strips whole if you prefer.
  2. Step 2: Prepare Your Fresh Vegetables – While the bacon cools, wash your lettuce leaves thoroughly under cool water. Gently pat them completely dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner. Slice your ripe tomatoes into even, thin rounds. Carefully slice your avocado. I like to cut it in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and then slice it lengthwise into thin strips. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice over the avocado slices can help prevent browning if you're not assembling immediately.
  3. Step 3: Whip Up the Secret Sauce – In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for your Secret Sauce. This is where you bring together the mayonnaise, Dijon, non-alcoholic Worcestershire, smoked paprika, a touch of sweetness, and any other secret ingredients you've decided to add. Whisk everything together until it's smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Step 4: Warm the Tortillas (Optional, but Recommended!) – Lightly warm your large flour tortillas. This makes them more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll them. You can do this quickly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side, or microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
  5. Step 5: Assemble Your Gourmet BLT Wraps – Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Generously spread a layer of your delicious Secret Sauce over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about an inch clear around the edges. Next, layer your crisp lettuce leaves over the sauce. Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over the lettuce. Distribute the crispy beef bacon pieces or strips over the tomatoes. Finally, artfully place your sliced avocado on top of the bacon.
  6. Step 6: Roll and Serve! – To roll, start by folding in the two sides of the tortilla over the filling, just about an inch or two. Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, tightly roll the tortilla upwards, tucking in the filling as you go, until you have a compact, cylindrical wrap. For the best presentation and easier eating, slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately and enjoy the gourmet experience!
