Ingredients
- Large Flour Tortillas
- Fresh Mozzarella (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- Ripe Tomatoes (Roma, heirloom, or cherry)
- Fresh Basil Leaves
- Crispy Beef Bacon
- Lettuce (Romaine, butter lettuce, or spring mix)
- Mayonnaise
- Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook your beef bacon until it's perfectly crisp and drain on paper towels. Break it into smaller pieces once cooled. Wash and thoroughly dry your lettuce and basil leaves. Slice your tomatoes and pat dry the mozzarella.
- Lay Out the Tortilla: Place a large flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread the Base: Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise across the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
- Layer the Greens: Arrange a generous layer of lettuce leaves over the mayonnaise, leaving the same border.
- Add the Caprese Elements: Scatter your sliced or halved tomatoes over the lettuce, followed by the fresh mozzarella, and then lay the fresh basil leaves over the mozzarella.
- Introduce the BLT Star: Sprinkle the crispy beef bacon pieces over the Caprese layers.
- Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Finish by drizzling a good amount of balsamic glaze over all the fillings.
- Fold and Roll Tightly: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla upwards, tucking the filling in as you go.
- Serve (and Slice!): Once rolled, enjoy it whole or slice the wrap in half diagonally for an attractive presentation.

Keywords: Ensure your beef bacon is crispy for the best texture. Pat the mozzarella and tomatoes dry to prevent sogginess. Warm tortillas slightly for easier rolling. Avoid overfilling to maintain the wrap's shape.
