Pro Tips for Perfect Turkey and Avocado Wraps
- Perfect Avocado: Choose a ripe avocado that’s slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. If you have leftovers, store the pit in the unused half to keep it from browning.
- Crunchy Veggies: Fresh lettuce and cucumber add a satisfying crunch to your wrap, so make sure to use crisp, fresh veggies.
- Wrap it Tightly: When rolling, make sure to fold the sides in tightly so that the wrap doesn’t unravel when you bite into it.
- Meal Prep: To save time during the week, prepare your veggies and turkey in advance and assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat.
FAQs
- Can I make this wrap ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the turkey and avocado wrap ahead of time. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate. For the freshest taste, add the avocado right before serving.
- Can I use a different kind of wrap? Absolutely! You can use a spinach wrap, gluten-free tortilla, or even a lettuce leaf for a low-carb option.
- Can I add cheese to the wrap? Yes, you can add cheese like cheddar, Swiss, or goat cheese for extra flavor and richness.
- How do I store leftovers? If you have any leftover wraps, store them tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to a day. The wrap is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture of the veggies and avocado.
Creative Variations
- Mediterranean Twist: Add some Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil for a Mediterranean flavor.
- Spicy Turkey Wrap: Add sliced jalapeños or a spicy sauce like sriracha for a kick of heat.
- Crispy Bacon: For extra flavor, add a few slices of crispy bacon to the wrap.
- Avocado Hummus Wrap: Spread hummus on the tortilla instead of mustard or mayo for an extra creamy and savory flavor.
Advice for Gifting
Wrap these turkey and avocado wraps individually and pack them in airtight containers for an easy and healthy lunch gift. You can also prep the filling in a container and give the recipient tortillas to assemble the wraps when they’re ready.
Fun Ways to Serve
- Cut into Smaller Pieces: Slice the wrap into bite-sized pinwheels for an easy snack or appetizer.
- With a Side Salad: Serve alongside a refreshing mixed greens salad or a cup of soup for a full meal.
