Ingredients
- Whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- Traditional bacon or turkey bacon or beef bacon
- Crisp romaine or butter lettuce or arugula
- Fresh, ripe tomatoes (vine-ripened or cherry tomatoes)
- Mayonnaise
- Chipotle in adobo sauce
- Greek yogurt (optional substitute for mayonnaise)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chipotle Mayo: In a small bowl, mix about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of chipotle in adobo sauce. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Set aside.
- Crisp the Bacon: Cook your bacon (or its substitute) in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Prep the Vegetables: While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry your lettuce. Slice your tomatoes into thin rounds. You want them to be easy to bite into when wrapped.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo over the tortilla. Then, layer with lettuce, bacon, and tomato slices in the center.
- Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up from the bottom to the top. Ensure all ingredients are tucked in nicely. Use a toothpick to secure if needed.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately, or chill for a few minutes before serving if preferred.
