Easy Chipotle BLT Wrap for a Summer Picnic

You can’t go wrong with bacon, lettuce, and tomato! Add some chipotle mayo and you have an easy Chiptole BLT wrap for a summer picnic meal that everyone will love.

This Chipotle BLT wrap is simple but incredibly delicious. I’ve made them for a lot of different gatherings, and they are always the first thing to go. People always ask me for the recipe. Which is wild since they are so simple.

This just goes to show you that simple can be all that’s needed. And you all know I’m always about keeping things simple so that we can enjoy life without the stress and hassle.

I first made them for a Sunday gathering with family and friends.  Everyone asked for the recipe and I found out later that they were making them when their friends came over.

It’s just a clean summer taste.  They are as healthy as you choose to make them, and with only a sprinkling of bacon and cheese, I’d say they are pretty good for you.

This Chipotle BLT wrap recipe is also versatile. If you’re not a big mayo fan, add your favorite sauce or spice, or eat them with just BLT goodness.

If you need a gluten free wrap, don’t want cheese, like I said, change it up to what suits your family the best. I started making these when my kids were little and one didn’t want the chipotle mayo, so it was simple to make a few without that addition. You can put in them whatever you want. 

Another option, if you’ve made a salad and have some extra in your fridge, use that! Add some coleslaw and BBQ and you have yourself a whole new wrap! Have fun and be creative but know that the tried and true is a great hit as well.

Ingredient Changes:

First, you can just use lettuce for these, but adding a little bit of coleslaw mix of cabbage and carrots adds a great crunch.

Second, the cheese. I love cheddar, but others in my family like pepperjack, so I usually make some of each. Use your favorite.

Third, the chipotle mayo. I make my own mayo and add chipotle seasoning. I like to have a lot of taco seasoning already made for many meals that we make. Click on the links for those recipes. But if you’d rather buy, I’ve really liked the taste and ingredients in this brand.

Easy Chipotle BLT Wrap Recipe

Ingredients:

• your favorite salad
• shredded cheese (cheddar or pepperjack)
• chipotle mayo
• crispy bacon, broken into small pieces
• tomato, sliced thin
• tortillas

Directions:

1. Make your salad however you like it.
2. Cook up some bacon and tear it into small pieces.
3. Mix up some Homemade Mayonnaise and add some Homemade Taco Seasoning to taste. If you have store bought mayonnaise, then add the homemade taco seasoning from the link above and add to taste. I usually add about 1 tablespoon per cup of mayonnaise. If you’d rather buy, I’ve found this one to have good ingredients and taste great!
4. Slice the tomato very thin.
5. Shred the cheese. We like to use cheddar or pepperjack but use your favorite.
6. Lay a tortilla down flat. Spread the chipotle mayo over the entire surface, leaving a 1 inch margin around the edges. Add your salad and sprinkle some bacon and cheese. Add tomato to taste. Fold.

To fold the tortilla, fold two inches worth on each end inward, then roll the tortilla lengthwise so that the folded ends are inside and sealed.

And you’re ready to go!

Simple but delicious!
