Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe Hass avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 4 large leaves of romaine or red leaf lettuce
  • 1 teaspoon of avocado oil or olive oil, for lightly brushing
  • 1 tablespoon of lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup of quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup of thinly sliced scallions or red onion
  • 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, lightly packed and finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, grated or finely crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
How to Make a Turkey Wrap with Avocado (Step By Step Instructions)
  1. 1
    Prepare the Avocado Spread
    • In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and thoroughly mash it with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
    • Add the lime juice, crushed garlic, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro.
    • Mix and continue mashing until the mixture is uniform and thick.
  2. 2
    Warm the Tortillas
    • Before assembly, briefly warm your tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat or in a microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds.
    • This helps make them soft, flexible, and easy to roll without cracking.
  3. 3
    Assemble the Turkey Avocado Wrap
    • Lay the warm tortilla flat on your cutting board.
    • Scoop about one-quarter of the avocado spread onto the center.
    • Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
    • Add a layer of romaine or lettuce leaves.
    • Arrange the sliced turkey evenly over the greens, keeping the fillings centered and covering about half of the tortilla.
    • Top with the quartered cherry tomatoes and sliced scallions.
  4. 4
    Roll It Up
    • Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings.
    • Lift the bottom edge (the side closest to you) and fold it up and over the filling.
    • As you fold, gently pull the fillings back toward you to keep the roll tight.
    • Continue rolling upward, maintaining firm tension until the seam is closed.
  5. 5
    Sear the Turkey Wrap
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot enough for quick browning.
    • If you like, lightly brush the outside of the wrap with a thin layer of avocado or olive oil.
    • Place the turkey and avocado wrap seam-side down in the pan.
    • Sear for 1 to 2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact.
    • Once the seam is sealed and the tortilla is golden and crispy, flip the wrap.
    • Sear the other side until it reaches your preferred toasted color and crunch.
  6. 6
    Serve & EnjoyToasted turkey wrap with avocado, tomato, and herbs, perfect for a high protein lunch meal or meal prep.
    • Once ready, remove the avocado turkey wrap from the pan right away.
    • Slice it on a sharp diagonal to reveal the colorful layers inside and keep the tortilla crisp.
    • Serve with a side of fresh salad, sweet potato fries, or a light soup.

Note
  • Always make sure the tortilla is warm and pliable before folding so it rolls smoothly without cracking or tearing.
  • Leaving a clean 1-inch border around the avocado spread helps the tortilla seal neatly from end to end and gives the wrap a smooth, professional finish.
  • Use medium-high heat when searing, as low heat will dry out the wrap instead of creating that quick, golden browning and firm, sealed seam.
  • Placing the wrap seam-side down on the hot pan is essential for sealing it properly and keeping it from unrolling.
  • If you’re packing the wraps for lunch or prepping them a day ahead, skip the fresh cherry tomatoes or swap them for roasted red peppers, since tomatoes tend to release moisture and make the wrap soggy.
