The Best asparagus bacon wrap recipe

I’m so excited to share this asparagus bacon wrap recipe with you all. I’ve been making it for years, and it’s always a hit with my family and friends. The combination of tender asparagus, crispy bacon, and creamy hummus is just perfect.

And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make. Just wrap everything in a tortilla and you’re good to go!

My kids love helping me assemble the wraps, and they’re a great way to get them to eat their veggies. Plus, they’re perfect for packing in lunches or taking on the go. I’ve even made them for dinner parties and potlucks, and they’re always a crowd-pleaser.

Asparagus is also packed with nutrients, so you can feel good about serving this up to your loved ones. I like to use fresh asparagus from our local farmer’s market, but frozen will do in a pinch. And don’t even get me started on the benefits of using real bacon – it’s just so much better than the fake stuff.

Anyway, enough raving from me… let’s get to the recipe! I like to start by cooking the bacon in a skillet until it’s nice and crispy.

Then I chop up the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and sauté it until it’s tender but still crisp. Next, I spread some hummus on a large tortilla, followed by a layer of bacon, then the asparagus, and finally another layer of hummus on top. Roll it all up tight and slice in half for an easy and delicious meal.

For the Filling

1 bunch asparagus
8 slices bacon
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 tbsp garlic powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F.
2Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces.
3Place asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
5Roast for 10 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
6While the asparagus is roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
7Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Set aside.

11Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

13Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2 minutes.
14Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
15Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
16Arrange the roasted asparagus and crumbled bacon evenly over the cream cheese.
17Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough, enclosing the filling.
18Pinch the seam to seal.
19Transfer the wrapped dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
20Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

📝Notes

Tips: You can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Add shredded cheese to the filling for an extra cheesy twist.

These asparagus bacon wraps are always a good idea for any occasion – whether you’re packing lunches for school or work, taking them on-the-go for a quick snack, or serving them at your next family gathering. They’re also super easy to reheat – just microwave for 20-30 seconds or bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until warm through.

My favorite way to store leftovers is by wrapping each wrap individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in an airtight container in the fridge. When reheating multiple wraps at once, I like to use a large skillet over medium heat – it helps distribute heat evenly and prevents any one wrap from getting too hot.
