I discovered the ultimate BLTA wrap that upgrades my lunch routine. Crispy bacon pairs with fresh romaine, ripe tomato, and buttery avocado, all coated with a zesty, creamy dressing. Every bite bursts with flavor and transforms a routine meal into an adventure. This wrap is my go-to for effortless indulgence.
I love this Best Ever BLTA Wrap because it’s simple and packed with great flavors and nutrition. I start with 8 slices thick cut bacon cooked until crispy that add a salty crunch.
Then I use 2 large flour tortillas that hold everything together, along with 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce for a fresh bite. I add 1 large tomato sliced into rounds and 1 ripe avocado also sliced that bring natural sweetness and healthy fats to the wrap.
I mix 3 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for a creamy dressing that lifts the overall taste, with just a pinch of salt and pepper to round it off. I think its the perfect balance of textures and vitamins that makes it an ideal lunch option especially for back to school days.
My family always loves this BLTA wrap because it’s both delicious and nutritious.

Best Ever BLTA Wrap Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Bacon: If you dont feel like thick cut bacon, turkey bacon or even veggie bacon can work just fine
- Tortillas: If you wanna go a bit healthier, try using whole wheat tortillas instead of the standard flour ones
- Lettuce: If romaine is hard to find, a mix of spinach and arugula will do the trick
- Mayo: You can swap out some of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt to give it a tangy twist
- Avocado: If you aren’t into avocado, a spread of hummus can add creamy goodness as well
Pro Tips
1. Make sure your bacon is extra crispy – if you can cook it a little longer, that extra crunch really adds to every bite
2. Warming the tortillas just right is key so they’re soft enough to roll without tearing, but dont leave them in the microwave too long or they might get soggy
3. Try mixing in a pinch of extra herbs like chives or even a tiny bit of cayenne pepper in your mayo mix to give it a fun twist
4. When layering the ingredients, dont be shy about overlapping them a bit so every bite has a good mix of all flavors
