I can still smell the bacon cooking up in my Grandmother’s cast-iron skillet as I walked into her house as a little girl. She kept a glass jar of bacon drippings in it and would cook up just about everything she made using a scoop of the fat. Whether it was crispy bacon to go with Crispy Fried Eggs or in a Breakfast Casserole it was always a treat!
The most simple meal she would make using her crispy bacon were BLTs using thin white tasted bread. When I ate them with juicy tomatoes and bright green lettuce I enjoyed every last bite.
For school lunch I like to improvise on her recipe and make these BLT Wraps. They’re a great use for whole wheat tortillas and all that crispy bacon you can’t help yourself from cooking up! Pair these with fresh fruit and a Mini Babybel for a filling and satisfying school lunch.

Use anything you love! Pesto, hummus, you could even do a light vinaigrette just to get that extra flavor in there!
My little one doesn’t like mayo or mustard. Any suggestions for an alternative spread?
Yummy. These look good!
