How to Make the BEST Pimento Cheese BLT Wraps

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Pimento Cheese BLT Wraps: Flour wraps, cooked bacon, green leaf lettuce and Roma tomatoes.
  • To make the Pimento Cheese you’ll need: Mayonnaise, shredded white cheddar cheese, shredded yellow sharp cheddar cheese, diced pimentos, garlic salt, onion powder, worcestershire sauce,
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and chopping board.
  • I recommend using a crisp green leaf lettuce and plump Roma tomatoes diced into small cubes for this wrap.
  • After dicing the tomatoes, let them rest for a few minutes on doubled paper towels to give them time to release some juice. This will help prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
  • When making these, I often turn to my technique for Oven Fried Bacon to save on clean-up.
  • I recommend using a thick slice bacon and sprinkled freshly ground black pepper over the bacon before baking.
  • Please note, depending on the size of the wraps you choose to use the yield will vary slightly.
  • The pimento cheese takes minutes to whip-up but, should be made in advance to allow the flavors to truly combine.
  • These wraps can be made in advance and sliced into pinwheels if, serving as an appetizer. They can also be cut in half or smaller portions for snacking and meals.
  • Store any leftover Pimento Cheese BLT Wraps in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can also make the pimento cheese and store it chilled for up to one week separately from the other ingredients. This way you can make the BLT wraps fresh to enjoy.
