Bacon Egg & Rice BBQ Tortilla Wrap🌯
If you’ve ever opened your fridge, spotted leftover rice, a few veggies, some bacon, and thought, “Hmm… what chaos can I cook today?” — then this wrap is exactly your kind of recipe.
This is one of those dishes that wasn’t planned. It happened — and then instantly earned a spot on my “make this again immediately” list. It starts with simple prep: slicing peppers, onions, whisking eggs with salt and pepper. Then comes the part that fills the kitchen with the best smell ever: frying bacon with zero added fat, letting it crisp in its own goodness.
But here’s where it gets fun. Instead of leaving the pan as-is, I use that tiny bit of leftover flavor (plus just a spoonful of oil) to sauté the peppers and onions. They soften, sweeten, and soak up all that bacon magic. Then I toss in the cooked rice — leftover rice is best — and let it warm through before pouring in the seasoned eggs.
It turns into this creamy, chunky egg-fried rice, the kind that clings together just enough while staying juicy and soft. A spoonful (or two) of BBQ sauce brings everything together with sweet, smoky depth, coating the rice without drying it out. It’s comfort food but with personality.
Then comes assembling the wrap: tortillas brushed with BBQ sauce, a layer of melty cheese, that warm egg-rice mixture piled generously on top, and finally those crispy bacon strips. Roll it up tight like a burrito, pop it into the air fryer, give it a light spray of olive oil, and let it become golden, crispy perfection.
Serve it hot — seriously, HOT — with a cool garlic-sour-cream dip, fresh peppers, and spring onions. It's the kind of wrap you bite into and instantly think, “Yep… I’m making this again.”
📝 Ingredients
-
8 slices smoked bacon 🥓
-
4 large eggs 🥚
-
~250 g cooked rice 🍚 (preferably cold, leftover rice works best)
-
¼ small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
¼ small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
-
1–2 tbsp BBQ sauce (for the rice) + extra for drizzling
-
2 large tortilla wraps 🌯
-
4 slices cheese 🧀 (processed, cheddar, or any melty cheese)
-
Salt & black pepper to taste
🥄 Instructions
- Prep the basics
Slice the peppers and onion into thin strips.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with ½ tsp salt and pepper, and whisk well.
- Cook the bacon
Add the bacon to a dry pan — no oil needed — and fry until crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- Sauté the veggies
In the same pan, add about 1 tablespoon of oil.
Toss in the peppers and onion, cooking until softened and lightly golden.
- Add the rice
Stir in the cooked rice and warm it through, breaking apart any clumps.
- Add the eggs
Pour the whisked eggs directly over the rice.
Stir constantly so the mixture cooks into chunky, juicy pieces instead of becoming too dry.
- Add BBQ sauce
Mix in 2 teaspoons of BBQ sauce and stir well to coat everything.
Cook just until the mixture is creamy and still moist — not dry.
- Assemble the wraps
Spread ~1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce on each tortilla.
Add 2 slices of cheese.
Spoon the egg-rice mixture over the cheese.
Top with crispy bacon strips.
- Roll like a burrito
Fold the sides in, tuck, and roll tightly.
- Air fry
Place the wraps in the air fryer basket.
Spray lightly with olive oil.
Air fry at 180°C (360°F) for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Serve hot
Best enjoyed immediately with a garlic–sour-cream dip and fresh pepper sticks.
