Turkey Wraps Recipe

Whole wheat tortillas: Soft, pliable flatbreads made from whole wheat flour, providing a healthier alternative to regular tortillas.

Cooked turkey slices: Pre-cooked and sliced turkey meat, often found in the deli section, offering a lean source of protein.

Shredded lettuce: Fresh, crisp lettuce that has been finely shredded, adding a crunchy texture to the wraps.

Diced tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes that have been chopped into small pieces, adding juiciness and flavor.

Shredded cheese: Optional ingredient that adds a creamy and savory element to the wraps, choose your preferred type.

Mayonnaise: A creamy spread made from eggs, oil, and vinegar, used to add moisture and flavor to the wraps.

To ensure your tortillas stay pliable and don't crack when rolling, warm them slightly before assembling the wraps. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds on each side or microwaving them for 10-15 seconds. This will make them more flexible and easier to roll tightly around the turkey slices and other ingredients.

• To keep your turkey wraps fresh, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps maintain their shape and prevents the tortillas from drying out.
• Place the wrapped turkey wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This adds an extra layer of protection against moisture loss and keeps them fresh longer.
• Store the container or bag in the refrigerator. Your turkey wraps will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the turkey wraps. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
• Label the freezer bag with the date to keep track of how long they’ve been stored. Turkey wraps can be frozen for up to 2 months.
• When ready to eat, thaw the turkey wraps in the refrigerator overnight. For a quicker option, use the microwave on a low setting, checking every 30 seconds until thawed.
• To refresh the texture, you can lightly toast the tortillas in a skillet or oven for a few minutes before serving. This will help restore some of the original crispness.
• If you prefer a warm wrap, heat the turkey wraps in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds, or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the turkey wraps in aluminum foil to keep them moist. Place them on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
• For a quicker option, use a microwave. Place the turkey wraps on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even heating.
• If you prefer a crispy texture, use a skillet. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the turkey wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
• For an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the turkey wraps in the basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they are evenly heated and crispy.
