Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds peppered bacon (thick-sliced)
• 6 flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 6 tablespoons mayonnaise (or salad dressing)
• 10 ounces iceberg lettuce (shredded)
• 3 large tomatoes (seeded and chopped)
• Optional: 2 avocados (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped red and/or green bell pepper

Directions

Cook the Bacon

1. Griddle Method:
   Place bacon slices side by side on a griddle. Cook on medium heat until crisp and browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
2. Baked Bacon Option:
   Place bacon slices side by side on a rack in a shallow baking pan with sides. Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until crispy. Drain well on paper towels.

Warm the Tortillas

1. Warm Tortillas:
   Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they become soft and pliable.

Prepare the Vegetables

1. Prepare Lettuce:
   Wash and dry the iceberg lettuce, then shred it into thin strips.
2. Chop Tomatoes:
   Seed and chop the tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
3. Optional Ingredients:
   If using, peel, seed, and chop the avocados and chop the bell peppers into small pieces.

Assemble the Wraps

1. Spread Mayonnaise:
   For each wrap, place a warm flour tortilla on a plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or salad dressing over the top of the tortilla.
2. Add Lettuce:
   Place 1 cup of shredded lettuce evenly over the mayonnaise.
3. Add Tomatoes:
   Add about 1/2 of a chopped tomato on top of the lettuce.
4. Add Bacon:
   Lay 3 to 4 slices of cooked bacon over the tomatoes.
5. Add Optional Ingredients:
   Add some chopped avocado and/or bell pepper for extra flavor and texture.

Roll and Serve

1. Roll Wraps:
   Roll the tortilla from one side to the other, keeping the filling inside. Cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy serving. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Tips for the Best Wraps

• You can use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a healthier version.
• Add a touch of hot sauce or Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise for an extra kick of flavor.
• To keep the wraps from getting soggy, place a layer of lettuce directly on the tortilla before adding the mayonnaise.
