Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat large tortillas (10-inch)
- 12 oz lean turkey breast, thinly sliced or shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced or shredded turkey breast and sauté for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly browned. Remove from heat.
- Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer fresh baby spinach leaves evenly over the sauce on each tortilla.
- Distribute the cooked turkey evenly over the spinach, followed by bell pepper slices, shredded carrot, red onion, and avocado slices.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a wrap. Slice each wrap in half diagonally.
- Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for packed lunches or meal prep.
- Optional: For a warm wrap, grill the rolled wraps in a panini press or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and warm.
Chef tips
- Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber and nutrients but low-carb or gluten-free wraps can be substituted as needed.
- If you don’t have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard or a small amount of honey mustard can be used, but flavor will be slightly different.
- To keep avocado from browning if preparing ahead, lightly brush slices with lemon juice or wrap the avocado tightly with the rest of the filling.
- For additional crunch, add thin cucumber slices or toasted nuts such as chopped walnuts or almonds.
- Store wraps uncut in airtight containers for up to 2 days in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Pros
- High in protein and fiber to keep you full and energized.
- Uses simple, fresh ingredients with minimal cooking required.
- Kid-friendly and customizable to different tastes and diets.
Cons / watch-outs
- Avocado browns quickly if not eaten the same day unless properly stored.
- Wraps can become soggy if overfilled or stored too long.
