Turkey and Avocado Wrap

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole wheat or low-carb wrap (or your preferred type of wrap)
  • 3-4 oz sliced turkey breast (deli-style or cooked)
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons hummus or light mayo
  • 1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cucumber, sliced
  • 1-2 slices tomato (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A squeeze of lemon or lime juice (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Wrap:

    • Lay the wrap flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  2. Spread the Base:

    • Evenly spread the hummus or light mayo over the wrap. This adds flavor and helps hold the ingredients in place.
  3. Layer the Ingredients:

    • Start by placing the mixed greens in the center of the wrap.
    • Add the sliced turkey breast on top of the greens.
    • Arrange the avocado slices over the turkey.
    • Sprinkle the shredded carrots and cucumber slices over the avocado.
    • Add tomato slices if using.
  4. Season:

    • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You can also squeeze a bit of lemon or lime juice for extra flavor.
  5. Wrap It Up:

    • Fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up tightly from one end to the other.
    • Slice the wrap in half diagonally if desired.
  6. Serve:

    • Enjoy the wrap immediately, or wrap it in foil or parchment paper for an on-the-go lunch or snack.

Tips:

  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, red onions, or avocado for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Protein Variations: Substitute turkey with chicken, ham, or even a plant-based protein if preferred.
  • Wrap Variations: Experiment with different types of wraps, such as spinach, tomato, or gluten-free, based on your preferences and dietary needs.

This Turkey and Avocado Wrap is not only easy to make but also provides a balanced meal with lean protein, healthy fats, and fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
