Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with gluten-free flour)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

1 cup ripe tomatoes, diced

6 slices of crispy bacon, chopped

1 cup shredded lettuce (choose romaine or iceberg)

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Chopped fresh herbs (such as basil or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Fritters:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the teaspoon of salt. Let it rest for about 10 minutes; this will help draw out excess moisture. After the resting period, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the zucchini, removing as much water as possible.

      Mix the Fritter Batter:

        - In a separate bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated.

          Cook the Fritters:

            - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a little olive oil. Using a tablespoon, drop portions of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

              Prepare the BLT Ingredients:

                - While the fritters are cooking, chop the crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth to create a zesty spread.

                  Assemble the Wraps:

                    - Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the lime mayonnaise over the tortilla. In the center, layer 2-3 zucchini fritters, followed by the chopped bacon, diced tomatoes, and a handful of shredded lettuce.

                      Roll the Wraps:

                        - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

                          Serve:

                            - Slice the wraps in half and arrange them attractively on a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a vibrant touch. Enjoy these delicious wraps immediately while the fritters are still warm!
