Try the BLT wrap. Here are the ingredients you are going to need to get started making this yummy wrap.

This is one of the easy picnic recipes that doesn't contain much cooking. You are going to want to cook your bacon in a deep pan and cook over medium-high heat until done to your liking. Drain the grease and put aside while you prepare the wrap. Place your tortillas on a microwave safe plate and one by one heat 1/4 cup of shredded cheese until melted on them. Usually one to two minutes. Immediately, top with your lettuce and tomato evenly and add your bacon. Fold over the sides of the tortilla and then roll up. Cut in half and you are all set.
