Grilled Turkey and Avocado Wrap
A fresh and satisfying wrap filled with warm, grilled turkey, creamy avocado, crisp vegetables, and a light dressing, all tucked into a soft tortilla. An easy and healthy meal for two.
Prepare turkey and vegetables
If your turkey is not already warm, gently heat the 8 ounces of thinly sliced turkey breast in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, just until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use cold turkey if preferred. Slice 1 ripe avocado, halve 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice 1/4 red onion. Have your 1/2 cup mixed greens ready.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Warming the turkey adds to the 'grilled' feel of the wrap.
- •Thinly slicing ingredients ensures easy rolling and even distribution.
Grill the tortillas
Lightly brush both sides of each of the 2 large tortillas with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle each side with a tiny pinch of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the hot pan and grill for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly golden and grill marks appear. The tortilla should be warm and pliable. Repeat with the second tortilla.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Grilling tortillas makes them warm, soft, and slightly smoky.
- •Pliable means flexible and easy to bend.
Assemble the wraps
Lay each grilled tortilla flat. Arrange an equal portion of mixed greens or shredded lettuce down the center of each tortilla. Top with the warm turkey slices, sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Drizzle 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or light vinaigrette over the fillings.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Don't overfill the wrap, or it will be difficult to roll.
- •Distribute ingredients evenly for a balanced bite.
Roll and serve
To roll, fold in the sides of each tortilla slightly, then tightly roll from the bottom up, creating a compact wrap. You can slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating. Serve immediately.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Rolling tightly ensures the wrap holds together.
- •Serving immediately is best to enjoy the warmth and freshness.
- Grill pan or large skillet
- Spatula
- Knife and cutting board
- Small bowl (for dressing, if homemade)
- Measuring spoons
- 💡For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- 💡Add a sprinkle of cheese (like provolone or mozzarella) inside the wrap if dairy is not a concern.
- 💡You can customize the vegetables with bell peppers, shredded carrots, or spinach.
- 💡A bit of hummus or a creamy spread can be added to the tortilla before filling for extra moisture and flavor.
