Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together salsa and corn in a bowl and set aside.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a plate.
- Evenly top one side of each tortilla with chopped bacon, chopped iceberg lettuce, and the corn salsa mixture.
- Drizzle each with Avocado-Lime Sauce.
- Roll up the tortillas to enclose the fillings, and secure with wooden picks if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh corn instead of frozen, or try adding diced avocado or jalapeños to the filling. If you don't have tortillas, large lettuce leaves can serve as a low-carb alternative. You can also substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option. For a tangy twist, try mixing in some lime juice with the salsa.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps make a great meal on their own but can also be served with a side of chips and your favorite dip, such as Taco Supreme Dip, for a fulfilling lunch or dinner. Pair with a refreshing salad or a bowl of Ranch Soup for a complete meal. They are perfect for picnics or casual gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap the wraps and place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, checking to avoid sogginess.
