Best BLT Wraps with Secret Sauce: A Fresh Take on a Classic Favorite
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 4 wraps
Description
These BLT wraps take the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato combo to the next level with a creamy, tangy secret sauce wrapped in a soft tortilla — the perfect quick and flavorful lunch or dinner option.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Secret Sauce:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all secret sauce ingredients — mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Warm tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Spread 1–2 tablespoons of secret sauce evenly over each tortilla.
- Layer lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, avocado (if using), and crispy bacon strips down the center of each tortilla.
- Drizzle a little more sauce on top, then roll up tightly — folding in the sides as you go to secure the wrap.
- Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately. For a crispier wrap, grill briefly on a panini press or skillet until lightly golden.
Notes
- Make it a club wrap by adding sliced turkey or chicken breast.
- Use turkey bacon or plant-based bacon for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- The secret sauce doubles as a great dip for fries or veggies.
- Wraps can be made ahead and kept chilled for 1 day — just wait to add the sauce until serving to avoid sogginess.

Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Bacon: Use thick-cut bacon for maximum crispiness and flavor. Bake it or fry it until golden and crunchy.
Lettuce: Crisp romaine or iceberg lettuce adds freshness and crunch — essential for that classic BLT texture.
Tomatoes: Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for their sweetness and juiciness. Slice them thin so the wraps hold together nicely.
Tortillas or wraps: Use large flour tortillas, whole wheat wraps, or spinach tortillas for a healthy twist.
Avocado (optional): Creamy avocado slices or mashed avocado add richness and make the wrap even more satisfying.
Cheese (optional): A light sprinkle of cheddar or Swiss cheese adds an extra layer of flavor.
Salt and pepper: Simple seasoning to enhance all the fresh ingredients.
For the Secret Sauce:
Mayonnaise: The creamy base of the sauce — smooth and rich.
Ketchup: Adds sweetness and tang, balancing the flavors beautifully.
Dijon mustard: Gives a subtle sharpness and depth.
Garlic powder: For a savory, aromatic note.
Smoked paprika: Adds warmth and a hint of smokiness that pairs perfectly with bacon.
Lemon juice or pickle juice: A touch of acidity to brighten the sauce.
When I made this sauce, I added a dash of hot sauce, and it gave the wraps a subtle kick that made them even more addictive — not too spicy, just perfectly balanced.
Directions
Start by cooking the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lemon juice until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed — this is your secret sauce.
Lay the tortillas flat and spread a generous layer of the sauce in the center of each one. Arrange lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and bacon strips on top. Add avocado slices and cheese, if using. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create the wrap. For extra crispness, you can grill the wrap in a pan for 1–2 minutes per side or serve it fresh and chilled.
Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of crispy, creamy, tangy, and fresh — the true essence of a BLT made even better.

Storage/reheating
