Description
These easy make-ahead BLT wrap pinwheels are a perfect portable snack for busy mornings and lunchboxes, combining crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, tomato, and creamy spread in a neat bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large flour tortillas (about 10 inches / 25 cm)
- 12 slices bacon, cooked crisp
- 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 1 large tomato (about 150g), thinly sliced
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional add-ins: avocado slices, shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay bacon slices on a foil-lined baking sheet without overlapping and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Wash and shred lettuce finely. Slice tomato thinly and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface.
- Layer shredded lettuce evenly, place 2 slices of bacon side by side, and add a few tomato slices on top.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently, wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pinwheels. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Pat tomato slices dry to prevent soggy wraps. Chill the rolled wraps before slicing to keep pinwheels neat. Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Bacon baked in the oven stays flat and crispy, ideal for rolling. Pinwheels keep well in the fridge up to 3 days and can be frozen uncut for up to a month.
