Time Breakdown

Prep time : 10 min | Cooking time : 0 min | Total time : 10 min | Servings : 2 serves

Key Ingredients

• 2 whole grain wraps
• 4 oz lean sliced turkey breast
• 2 tbsp creamy hummus
• 1 cup mixed lettuce
• 3 slices tomato
• 1/4 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cucumber, sliced
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Warm the whole grain wraps for about 10 seconds in a pan on medium heat or in the microwave. This makes them pliable and easy to work with without tearing.
2. Spoon the hummus evenly onto each warm wrap, leaving about 1 inch around the edges to fold in later. Don’t be shy—hummus is the hero of this wrap!
3. Add a layer of mixed lettuce over the hummus. This will help absorb a bit of the moisture and add a nice crisp texture to your wrap.
4. Top with sliced turkey, then arrange the tomato slices, avocado, and cucumber. Finish with a sprinkle of green onion for a little extra crunch and flavor.
5. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the fillings to add richness and help bind everything together. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Carefully fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it up tightly. If you like, wrap it in parchment paper or parchment wrap to keep it intact for transport or packing.

Serving Suggestions

1. Wrap it in a basket. Bring a bunch of Turkey and Hummus Wraps to a picnic or potluck and pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. The wraps are perfect for easy, handheld eating and will be a hit with kids and adults alike.
2. Pair with a cold drink. A glass of cold unsweetened almond milk or an iced green tea pairs beautifully with the richness of avocado and the tang of hummus. It’s a refreshing combo that’s light and satisfying.
3. Make it a sandwich. Instead of wrapping the ingredients up, simply place the turkey, veggies, and hummus onto the wrap like a sandwich for a twist. Serve it open-faced and garnish with a slice of lemon for a citrusy finish.
4. Garnish it. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of olive oil over the top before serving for a subtle kick that really brings the flavors together. A squeeze of lemon is also a great finish to brighten the whole dish.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

Refrigerate leftovers: Store any wrapped-up leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If your wrap contains avocado, it’s best to eat it the same day, as the avocado tends to brown quickly and affects the texture.

Freeze for long storage: To freeze the recipe in advance, assemble the wraps but don’t add avocados or tomato slices (they don’t freeze well). Wrap each carefully in plastic wrap and place them in a sealed zip-top bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat them for 10-15 seconds in the microwave or on the stovetop, then add the fresh toppings before wrapping.

Prep ahead: For a quicker lunch, pre-cook and warm your wraps, then layer the fillings in separate containers. You can assemble your wrap quickly just before eating. This is especially helpful for busy weeknights or meal prepping for the week.

Tips and Tricks

Choose a good wrap: Not all whole grain wraps are created equal. Go for ones that are pliable when warm and won’t dry out or crumble. Whole wheat pita or 100% whole grain wraps tend to hold up best.

Let the turkey sit out: Before assembling the wrap, take the sliced turkey out of the fridge to let it come to room temperature. This makes it easier to work with and ensures you don’t have too much water dripping into the wrap.

Cook your wrap to seal it: If you plan on taking your wrap on the go, searing the edges lightly in a pan before folding and filling can help the wrap stay sealed longer. A quick pan sear also toasts the wrap slightly for a nice nutty flavor.

Chef’s Advice

Want to make a few small changes to the recipe to suit your taste or dietary preferences? Try substituting the sliced turkey with grilled chicken breast or falafel for a vegetarian version. To switch things up in terms of flavor, add feta cheese or a drizzle of tahini sauce for a richer taste. For a more vibrant presentation, top the wraps with a few red bell pepper strips and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro before rolling. It looks just as good on your plate as it tastes!

FAQs

Can I use a different type of wrap?

Absolutely. Feel free to use a flax wrap, a gluten-free tortilla, or even a large lettuce leaf if you’re looking for a low-carb option. The recipe is quite flexible based on your preferences and dietary needs.

How can I make this wrap more filling?

To add more substance, consider adding a couple of tablespoons of Greek yogurt or some crumbled feta cheese on top. This adds extra protein and makes the wrap even more satisfying.

What if I don’t like hummus?

No worries! You can swap the hummus with Greek yogurt or even a mashed guacamole. Both make for a creamy and delicious base that complements the turkey and veggies nicely.

Can this wrap be eaten cold?

Yes, it can be enjoyed at room temperature, or even straight from the fridge. Just make sure the wraps are fresh and not too dry to avoid tearing.

How can I serve this for a crowd?

Set up a make-your-own wrap station for a festive touch. Lay out all the fillings, let guests assemble their own wraps, and pair everything with a big pot of soup or a fruit salad. It’s fun and interactive, and everyone gets exactly what they want!
