Pimento Cheese BLT Wrap

This stuffed Pimento Cheese BLT Wrap  is a stellar option for serving as an appetizer, lunch on-the-go or between meal snacking.

The South Loves Pimento Cheese

Southerners are well known for our love of pimento cheese.  It's often referred to as Southern "pate."  My Mom and Gramma's kept a tub of pimento cheese in the fridge at all times for quick meals and snacking. We slathered it on celery, scooped it with pretzels or corn chips, or simply spread on white bread. They would sometimes cut sandwiches into tiny triangles and serve them as an appetizer or snack.

Helpful Tips for Making Pimento Cheese BLT Wraps

• 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.

Other Pimento Cheese Recipes to Try

Pimento cheese is the equivalent of comfort food for me and I've passed that love on to my own children who adore it as well. When lettuce is combined with cheese on a wrap it seems to result in one of the few ways I can get my kids to eat vegetables. Other cheesy delights to try:

• Pimento Cheese Beer Bread 
• Fully Loaded Hot Pimento Cheese Dip 
• Peppered Herb Pimiento Cheese Ball
