If you’re searching for a meal that checks every box—crunchy, savory, creamy, and filling—the Chicken BLT Wrap will instantly become your lunchtime hero. Imagine all the flavors of your favorite BLT sandwich, with the satisfying addition of juicy chicken and a punchy, tangy spread, all tucked into a soft, hearty tortilla. Whether you’re looking for a speedy weeknight dinner, a satisfying desk lunch, or something special to pack on a picnic, this wrap brings together the best of classic American comfort and fresh, wholesome ingredients in every bite.
Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the best things about the Chicken BLT Wrap is how each ingredient brings its own personality to the table—color, crunch, zest, or protein—yet the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Nothing fancy is required, just reliable goodies you can find in any kitchen, ready to be layered into something extra special.
- Flour tortillas: The flexible, soft base that hugs every delicious filling and makes the wrap portable and mess-free.
- Cooked and sliced chicken breast: Lean, juicy, and protein-packed for a satisfying main event—rotisserie chicken works like a charm.
- Cooked bacon: Smoky and salty, it adds crispness and a classic BLT flavor you’ll crave.
- Chopped romaine lettuce: For that signature crunch and a pop of fresh, green color.
- Medium tomato, diced: Juicy sweetness that wakes up every other ingredient—choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best texture.
- Mayonnaise: Creamy and classic, it forms the luscious base of the tangy spread, though Greek yogurt is a lighter twist.
- Dijon mustard: A little goes a long way to cut the richness and add a gentle, savory heat.
- Salt and black pepper to taste: Let these two simple seasonings heighten all the fresh, bold flavors.
How to Make Chicken BLT Wrap
Step 1: Mix the Creamy Spread
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth and perfectly combined. This velvety blend is the magic touch that’s going to tie all the other flavors together—don’t skip it! If you like a bit of extra zip, feel free to add a bit more mustard, or swap in Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier kick.
Step 2: Prep and Lay Out the Tortillas
On a clean, flat surface, lay out your two flour tortillas. If you want the absolute best texture, you can warm them in the microwave for just about 10 seconds to make them even more pliable. This prevents any cracking and makes rolling so much easier.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
Spread that dreamy mayo-mustard mixture evenly over each tortilla, making sure to go pretty close to the edges. Now, sprinkle a generous layer of chopped romaine lettuce on top, followed by heaps of sliced chicken, crispy bacon strips, and juicy diced tomato. Try to distribute everything down the center so it’s easy to wrap later.
Step 4: Season and Roll
Don’t forget to season the filling with a little salt and black pepper—these finishing touches make all the difference. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, burrito-style, to hold in all that goodness. Press the seam down gently so the Chicken BLT Wrap keeps its shape.
Step 5: Slice and Enjoy
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each wrap in half on the diagonal for that classic deli look. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil if you’re packing them for lunch or on-the-go snacking. The Chicken BLT Wrap tastes just as delicious cold as it does at room temperature!
How to Serve Chicken BLT Wrap
Garnishes
A Chicken BLT Wrap is delicious on its own, but a little garnish can turn the everyday into the extraordinary! Try adding extra shredded lettuce for a pretty presentation, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a twist of freshly ground black pepper on top. A few thin slices of avocado instantly add creaminess and color.
Side Dishes
Pair your Chicken BLT Wrap with crunchy kettle chips, a refreshing fruit salad, or a handful of crisp baby carrots for a balanced and fun meal. If you’re craving something heartier, a cup of tomato soup or a side of tangy coleslaw makes the wrap feel even more like a comforting café lunch.
Creative Ways to Present
Want to impress? Slice each Chicken BLT Wrap into pinwheels and arrange them on a platter for party-ready finger food. Or, serve each wrap cut in half and stood upright in mason jars packed with lettuce for a portable lunch that wows. A picnic basket lined with wraps wrapped in parchment adds rustic charm with no extra fuss.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftover Chicken BLT Wrap pieces, simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and pop them in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 24–36 hours, though the lettuce and tomato may lose some of their crunch if stored too long.
Freezing
While the Chicken BLT Wrap isn’t ideal for freezing because of the fresh vegetables (lettuce and tomato tend to become mushy after thawing), you can freeze the cooked chicken in advance to streamline prep. For best results, always assemble just before eating.
Reheating
This wrap is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature, but if you want a warm experience, omit the lettuce and tomato, wrap tightly in foil, and warm in a 325°F oven for 10–12 minutes. Just be sure to add the fresh veggies after heating for the perfect temperature and texture balance.
FAQs
Can I make the Chicken BLT Wrap with grilled chicken?
Absolutely! Grilled chicken adds a smoky, charred flavor that plays beautifully with the bacon and creamy spread. Use either warm or cold grilled chicken, depending on your taste.
What’s a good gluten-free option for this wrap?
Simply swap out the flour tortillas for your favorite gluten-free tortillas—look for ones that are soft and pliable to prevent splitting when rolling up your Chicken BLT Wrap.
Can I make this wrap vegetarian?
Definitely! Swap the chicken and bacon for your favorite plant-based alternatives, or use grilled tofu and tempeh bacon for a protein-packed, meat-free take on the Chicken BLT Wrap.
How can I prepare these wraps in advance for a party?
To keep everything fresh, prep and slice all your ingredients ahead of time, store them separately, and assemble just before serving. If you need to wrap a few early, leave out the lettuce and tomato until the last minute to avoid sogginess.
What other sauces would work well in a Chicken BLT Wrap?
Feel free to get creative! Try ranch dressing, chipotle mayo, honey mustard, or even a smear of mashed avocado for a different flavor profile—the Chicken BLT Wrap is a perfect canvas for experimentation.
