BLAT Wraps

Ingredients

  • 8-10 slices turkey bacon (I think the turkey bacon at Costco is by far the best!)
  • 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas (my favorite are wheat tortillas from De Leon Foods)
  • 4 tablespoons Ranch-style salad dressing
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 4 T shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp. Chop and set aside. 
  2. Combine turkey bacon, avocado, tomato, and ranch in a bowl and stir gently coating with the Ranch dressing.
  3. Warm tortillas in microwave oven for 30 to 45 seconds, or until soft. Layer the lettuce and the bacon/tomato/avocado/ranch mixture, topping with optional cheese.  Roll the tortilla around the ingredients and serve immediately. 
If you don't plan on serving right away, keep the ingredients separate.  You could also layer each item as well, serving more like a burrito (shown in photo), but we like the pre-mixed version better.


This recipe is super fast and easy, which is one of the reasons I chose to make it coming off a swim meet weekend and going into a crazy holiday week.  It doesn't take much prep time at all and is a sure crowd pleaser.  My hubby and daughter are big fans - always cleaning their plates.  This recipe was adapted from allrecipes.com.

  1. Yum, my family really enjoyed this dinner too! I make BLAT wraps for lunch often, layering as you mentioned, zapping the turkey bacon in the microwave just before eating. However, mixing all the ingredients together with a bit of ranch dressing is genius! Thanks, Jessi!
