For the wraps
- 4 whole grain tortillas 8-inch diameter
- 8 oz sliced turkey breast nitrate-free preferred
- 1 medium avocado sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 bell pepper any color, julienned
- 4 tbsp hummus
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Prepare your vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumber thinly, julienne the bell pepper, and ensure carrots are shredded.
Mix your dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Prepare your wrap base: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of hummus on each tortilla, covering about three-quarters of the surface.
Layer your ingredients: Starting about an inch from the bottom of the tortilla, layer your ingredients in this order: spinach leaves, turkey slices, avocado, cucumber, carrots, and bell pepper. Drizzle with the prepared dressing.
Roll up your wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the ingredients as you go. For an extra-secure wrap, secure it with a toothpick or wrap it tightly in parchment paper before slicing.
Pack your lunch box: Place your wrapped wrap in a compartmentalized lunch box alongside complementary sides like fresh fruit, a small portion of whole grain crackers, and a small container of Greek yogurt for a balanced meal.
For busy mornings, prep all vegetables on Sunday and store them in airtight containers with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. This keeps vegetables crisp for up to 5 days.
To prevent soggy wraps, apply hummus or another fat-based spread directly on the wrap first to create a moisture barrier. Pat wet ingredients dry with a paper towel before adding them.
For avocado-containing wraps, add a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Warm tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack. Microwave for 10 seconds before assembling.
