We will whip these up sometimes just for a bit of a change in the traditional. Sometimes I will make the BLT mix up before leaving for the ballpark so that when we get home all we have to do is throw them together and EAT!! Prep time includes frying bacon.

Steps:

- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a"generous" portion of BLT mixture onto tortilla, as if you were making a burrito.
- Wrap and Roll-- your ready to go!
- NOTE: Sometimes the kids will request shredded cheese in their mixture so I just divide into two mixes, one with shredded cheese, one without (I am not one to fool with a classic like a BLT by putting cheese on it).
