Irresistible BLTA Wraps: Your Go-To Quick & Healthy Lunch Solution
Are you tired of the same old, uninspired lunches? It’s time to revolutionize your midday meal with an incredibly easy and utterly delicious BLTA wrap! Imagine biting into a perfect blend of crispy bacon, fresh crisp lettuce, juicy ripe tomatoes, and creamy avocado, all nestled in a soft whole wheat tortilla and drizzled with a rich, flavorful dressing. This isn’t just a wrap; it’s a culinary experience that will make you look forward to lunch every single day. Seriously, prepare to discover your new favorite, most amazing wrap ever!
Breaking Free from the Lunchtime Rut
I completely understand the struggle when it comes to packing lunches, especially for myself. All too often, I find myself trapped in a repetitive lunch rut, preparing the exact same meal for two or three days straight. My morning routine usually involves a flurry of activity, focused on getting creative and healthy lunches ready for my kids. By the time I even think about my own meal, I’m usually already starving and have absolutely no energy left to come up with anything new or exciting. This often leads to quick, uninspiring choices that leave me feeling less than satisfied.
My kids, on the other hand, benefit from my dedication to variety. Particularly my older two, during the school year, become my guinea pigs for new and exciting sandwich and wrap recipes. There’s nothing more disheartening than opening their lunchbox after school to find their entire meal still untouched. It’s a clear sign that I need to step up my game!
Through trial and error, I’ve discovered a simple truth: the more innovative and appealing I make their lunches, the more enthusiastically they eat them. So, why not elevate a classic? The traditional BLT is a crowd-pleaser, but with the addition of creamy avocado and a delectable dressing, it transforms into something truly special. This approach not only ensures they enjoy their meals but also introduces them to a wider range of flavors and textures.
Why the BLTA Wrap is a Universal Favorite
This fantastic BLTA wrap isn’t just a win for kids; it’s an absolute hit with adults too! Its simplicity, combined with its incredible flavor profile, makes it the perfect choice for a quick and satisfying lunch. Whether you’re packing it for your children’s school lunchboxes or preparing it for your own office meal, everyone will devour this delicious and easy wrap. It’s a versatile recipe that caters to all ages and palates, offering a delightful escape from mundane lunch routines.
Mastering Your Bacon Prep
For many, bacon is a staple, and in our house, we’re a little bacon-obsessed! I often buy bacon in bulk, typically picking up a multi-pack from stores like Costco. This strategy is a game-changer because it allows me to cook a large batch of bacon at the beginning of the week and store it in a resealable container in the fridge. Having pre-cooked bacon on hand drastically cuts down on meal prep time, making quick lunches like these BLTA wraps a breeze. It’s truly a #winning move for efficiency and flavor!
If you’re not quite as “bacon crazy” as we are, or simply prefer alternative methods, there are plenty of options. You can always opt for readily available pre-cooked bacon slices from your local grocery store. Another excellent and healthier alternative is to microwave a few slices of turkey bacon. It cooks up quickly and still provides that satisfying smoky flavor without the added fat. Whichever method you choose, ensure your bacon is crispy and ready to add that essential crunch to your wrap.
Assembling Your Perfect BLTA Wrap
Once your bacon is ready, the assembly is incredibly straightforward. Lay out a whole wheat wrap (or your favorite large tortilla). Start by spreading a crisp lettuce leaf across the tortilla, followed by a generous layer of fresh, thinly sliced tomato. Next, add your perfectly cooked bacon slices, ensuring an even distribution for that delightful crunch in every bite. Finally, top it all off with slices of creamy avocado. The combination of these fresh ingredients creates a beautiful medley of textures and flavors that is truly irresistible.
The Secret Weapon: Tessemae’s Dressings
Now for the dressing – the secret ingredient that truly elevates this BLTA wrap. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons of Tessemae’s Mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of Tessemae’s Green Goddess Dressing. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper for an added kick. Drizzle this creamy, tangy mixture generously over the layered ingredients in your BLTA wrap. This dressing is what ties all the flavors together, adding a vibrant and refreshing note to every mouthful.
After applying the dressing, carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to create a tight, secure wrap. Once rolled, cut it in half, and it’s ready to be devoured! You can either enjoy it immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal or pack it into a lunchbox for later. Repeat the process to make two delicious wraps, ensuring you have enough to share or save for another meal. Enjoy every crunchy, savory, and creamy bite!
Discovering Tessemae’s All Natural Dressings
Speaking of Tessemae’s… if you haven’t yet tried their All Natural Dressings, you are missing out! Holy cow, I am consistently super impressed with the quality and flavor of their products. They truly stand out in the world of healthy condiments.
For this BLTA wrap recipe, I specifically used their Green Goddess dressing. What makes it so fantastic? It’s not only incredibly delicious but also vegan-friendly and sugar-free, crafted with an emphasis on clean-eating ingredients. Tessemae’s commitment to wholesome food means their dressings are also paleo and Whole30 approved, making them suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences. Knowing you’re using a dressing that aligns with health-conscious choices while still delivering incredible taste is a huge bonus.
However, I must confess, their mayo is my absolute favorite. I truly love a good mayonnaise, and we go through it pretty quickly in our household. For years, I would buy regular light mayonnaise for our egg salad or tuna salad sandwiches, but ever since I discovered Tessemae’s mayo, I’m a changed woman. The difference is remarkable! I find that you don’t need as much of it because it boasts a much more intense and satisfying flavor compared to other brands. Plus, knowing it’s made with healthier, all-natural ingredients makes it an even better choice. I’m genuinely so happy I found it – it’s transformed my approach to using mayonnaise!
Beyond their incredible taste and healthy attributes, these great Tessemae’s products are also surprisingly inexpensive. I’ve had no trouble finding them at my local grocery stores here in California, making them easily accessible for my regular shopping trips. If you happen to be in an area where they aren’t stocked at your usual store, don’t worry! You can conveniently purchase them online directly from their website HERE. And as a special treat, use the coupon code: JengoesTesse to get 10% off your entire order!! It’s a fantastic opportunity to stock up on these clean, flavorful dressings and marinades.
You are absolutely guaranteed to love these BLTA wraps. They offer an incredible combination of textures and tastes: crunchy bacon, savory avocado, fresh vegetables, and a burst of flavor from the creamy dressing. They are incredibly easy to throw together, surprisingly healthy, and absolutely delicious! This makes them the perfect lunchbox solution for both adults and kids alike, ensuring a satisfying and exciting meal every time.
Important Note on Tessemae’s Dressings Storage
Just a quick but important side note regarding many of Tessemae’s dressings and marinades: they are olive oil-based. This means that when you store them in the refrigerator, the olive oil may naturally solidify. This is a completely normal occurrence and absolutely does not mean your dressings have spoiled or gone bad! When you store your dressings in the fridge (they can be refrigerated for quality up to 7 months), it’s important to be aware of this phenomenon. To restore them to their smooth, pourable consistency, simply let your dressing warm to room temperature on the kitchen counter for a bit, or for a quicker solution, place the bottle in warm water for a few minutes. I often use a mug filled with hot water straight from the tap – it works wonders!
