Ingredients Overview:

Here’s the reason each ingredient in this recipe is important for the perfect wrap:

• Tortilla or Wraps: The good wrappers are like the perfect vehicle to keep the messy goodness inside.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Simple enough for a novice, this recipe takes only minutes to assemble:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

• Cut avocado into slivers.
• Cut a tomato into thin rounds.
• Cut a few slices of turkey into bite-size chunks.
• Crumble crispy, cooked bacon.

2. Lay the Foundation:

• On a clean surface, lay down a big tortilla or wrap flat.
• Layer Your Ingredients:
• I like to baste the inside of the tortilla with some of my favorite sauce.
• Layer a few slices of avocado over the sauce.
• Next comes a layer of tomato slices.

3. Add Protein:

• Evenly sprinkle the chopped turkey pieces on top of the tomatoes.
• Top with lots of crumbled bacon for that savory goodness.
• Incorporate Greens:
• Top (or finish) with a few leaves of fresh spinach.

4. Roll It Up:

• Gently fold the sides of the tortilla in so none of the filling falls out.

5. Slice and Serve:

• Serve hot and relish in each delicious bite!

Serving Suggestions, Storage, Tips, and Variations

Serving Suggestions:

• These are delicious and really elevate your wraps:
• And with a little scoop of crunchy, salted kettle chips: for texture.
• Serve alongside a fresh fruit salad to offer a sweet counterpart to the savory.
• Serve with a small bowl of extra sauce (ranch, chipotle mayo, etc.) for dipping the wrap in.

Storage Suggestions:

• Refrigeration: Store the wraps in airtight containers, or wrap well in plastic wrap if prepping ahead. This allows them to stay fresh for 1–2 days.
• Avocado Tip: Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice on the avocado so it doesn’t brown before you add it to the wrap.

Tips:

• Try a whole grain tortilla or some kind of spinach wrap for extra nutrition in a fun shape.
• Toast the tortilla on a pan briefly before assembling the wrap; this will make the wrap warm and a bit crispy.
• Make sure not to overload the tortilla with the filling so it doesn’t tear while you’re rolling.

Variations:

• Loaded Lettuce Wraps—Keto-Friendly Version: Replace the tortilla with large lettuce leaves to reduce carbs.
• Vegan: Use grilled tofu or tempeh strips instead of turkey and bacon, and a vegan sauce instead of mayonnaise.
• Heat Things Up: Include jalapeños or a few swigs of hot sauce for spice.

FAQs

1. Can I use leftover turkey in this recipe?

• Absolutely! This is a nice way to use up Thanksgiving turkey or deli turkey. Simply cut it into bite-size pieces to make wrapping easy.

2. What’s the best sauce to use?

• This is all personal preference. Any of these spreads work great in this wrap: ranch, Caesar dressing, spicy aioli, or even hummus.

3. Can I freeze these wraps?

• It’s best to skip freezing, since wraps with fresh vegetables such as avocado and tomato don’t fare well after thawing.

4. Can you get gluten-free tortillas?

• Gluten-free tortilla substitutes are abundant in most supermarkets. You can use corn tortillas or coconut wraps.
