Chef’s Notes-Cheesy BLT Tortilla Wraps
- Ensure that the cheese is fully melted before adding the bacon and other fillings. This will help the cheese act as a glue, holding the ingredients together and enhancing the overall flavor.
- For perfectly crispy bacon, drain it well on paper towels to remove excess grease. This step prevents sogginess in the wraps.
- If you prefer your tortillas extra soft and pliable, warm them briefly in a dry skillet or microwave them for a few seconds before assembling the wraps.
- Feel free to experiment with different add-ins such as sliced avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or caramelized onions to tailor the wraps to your taste.
- Serve these wraps with a side of fresh fruit, a light salad, or a small bowl of your favorite dipping.
