Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 8 whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 pound sliced turkey breast
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Optional
- Sliced tomatoes, to taste
- Shredded cheese, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out the whole-wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface or plate to make assembling easier.
- Add the turkey: Evenly distribute the sliced turkey breast over the center of each tortilla, ensuring each wrap has a good portion of protein.
- Layer the avocado: Place sliced avocados over the turkey, adding creamy texture and healthy fats to the wrap.
- Add the veggies: Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the avocado slices. If using, add sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese now for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Top with dressing: Drizzle approximately 1/2 cup of ranch dressing evenly over all the wraps to provide a creamy and tangy element.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and then roll tightly from one end to the other, securing all fillings inside.
- Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally if desired, then serve immediately or wrap tightly for a packed lunch.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent the slices from becoming mushy in the wrap.
- For a lighter option, substitute ranch dressing with a low-fat Greek yogurt-based dressing or vinaigrette.
- Whole-wheat tortillas increase fiber content but any preferred tortilla can be used.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute turkey with grilled tofu or a plant-based deli slice.
