Wedge Salad Wrap
/Sometimes you just want a wedge salad you can actually hold. This wrap takes all the crunchy, creamy, bacon‑loaded goodness of the classic and tucks it into a warm tortilla for the easiest little handheld upgrade. It’s fun and it hits all the wedge‑salad notes in an easy wrap. A total win for lunch.
INGREDIENTS
10‑inch Burrito‑Size Tortilla: I used La Banderita — soft, flexible, and perfect for a tight, clean wrap.
Blue Cheese Dressing (2 1/2 tablespoons): Homemade is best (recipe linked) — creamy, tangy, and just thick enough to cling to the lettuce layers.
Iceberg Lettuce Wedge: Trimmed of soft outer leaves, core removed, and ends squared off so the wedge becomes a crisp, compact rectangle that tucks beautifully into the wrap.
Medium Roma Tomato, Thinly Sliced: Adds bright acidity and a juicy pop of color.
Thin Sliced Red Onion (2-4 slices): For a little bite and a touch of sharpness.
½ teaspoon finely diced chives: Fresh, delicate onion flavor.
Finely Diced Parsley (1/2 teaspoon): Herbaceous lift and a hint of green.
Pinch of Salt and Pepper: Just enough to wake everything up.
Crispy Bacon (2 pieces, halved): Smoky crunch in every layer — essential wedge‑salad energy.
STEP ONE: PREPARE THE TORTILLA
Warm the tortilla in the microwave or on the stove. This will ensure it’s soft enough to fold without breaking. Place the tortilla on a work surface.
Slather 1 tablespoon of the dressing over the tortilla.
STEP TWO: LAYER THE INGREDIENTS
Take your prepared lettuce wedge, set it on the center of the tortilla and give it a good smush to flatten it out a bit.
Layer the tomato over the lettuce and then the onion. Sprinkle the chives and parsley over, then add the pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of dressing over and add the bacon pieces.
STEP THREE: WRAP THE WRAP
It can be challenging to tightly wrap a sandwich or burrito if you haven’t done it before. Here are some guidelines. If you prefer,
Guidelines for a tightly wrapped sandwich or burrito (Love & Lemons has a great visual guideline here):
Position the tortilla and filling (filling will be shaped something like a rectangle or log) such that the wide end of the filling is facing you.
Fold the left and right sides inward so they snugly cover the ends of the filling; this creates the “closed ends” of the wrap.
With your thumbs, lift the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, pulling it toward the far side. Your fingers should be holding the folded sides in place as you do this.
Tuck the bottom edge firmly underneath the filling, creating tension and tightening the roll. Continue rolling forward, keeping the sides tucked in, until the wrap is fully rolled and the seam lands on the bottom.
LAST STEP: CUT THE WRAP
Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice the wrap cleanly. Set the tip of the blade just beyond the center of the sandwich, keeping it anchored to the cutting board. Then, in one swift motion, rock the knife forward while pressing down on the handle, allowing the blade to glide through the wrap in a single, quick cut.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Warm the tortilla for 10-15 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet until it's warmed through.
- Set the tortilla on a working surface. Take 1 of the tablespoons of blue cheese a slather it over the tortilla.
- Take your prepared lettuce wedge, set it on the center of the tortilla and give it a good smush to get it more level that boat shaped.
- Layer the tomato over the lettuce and then the onion.
- Sprinkle the chives and parsley over, then add the pinch of salt and pepper.

Notes
Instructing to tightly wrap the ingredients:
Because the filling is shaped like a rectangle, position it so the wide edge is facing you.
- Fold the left and right sides inward so they snugly cover the ends of the filling; this creates the “closed ends” of the wrap.
- With your thumbs, lift the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, pulling it toward the far side. Your fingers should be holding the folded sides in place as you do this.
- Tuck the bottom edge firmly underneath the filling, creating tension and tightening the roll. Continue rolling forward, keeping the sides tucked in, until the wrap is fully rolled and the seam lands on the bottom.
