Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas (soft and flexible, can substitute whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas)
- 8 ounces (225 grams) thinly sliced deli turkey breast (low-sodium, nitrate-free preferred)
- 1 large ripe avocado (or 2 small), mashed smooth
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
- 1 cup (30 grams) fresh spinach leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or a dash of smoked paprika
Instructions
- Mash the avocado in a medium bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in lime juice, salt, black pepper, and optional Dijon mustard or smoked paprika. Mix well.
- Lay one flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread an even layer of the avocado mixture over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Arrange turkey slices evenly over the avocado spread, covering the tortilla but not piling too thickly (about 4 ounces per wrap).
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the turkey, then add fresh spinach leaves on top.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a log shape, tucking the edge under to create a neat seam (about 1-2 minutes).
- Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Remove from fridge and slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife, yielding about 6-8 pieces per wrap.
- Serve immediately or pack into lunchboxes with a damp paper towel to keep moist.
Notes
Use ripe avocado for creamy texture and avoid bitterness. Chill wraps before slicing to maintain shape and prevent mess. Use a serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion for clean cuts. Lime juice helps prevent avocado browning. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use dairy-free alternatives. Spinach can be swapped with shredded carrots or cucumber for picky eaters. Wraps are best eaten within 24 hours and not recommended for freezing.
