Cooking Directions

Step-by-Step Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, Greek yogurt (or mayo), apple cider vinegar, and paprika.
  2. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess as needed. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Wrap Ingredients

  1. Slice the avocado and tomato thinly.
  2. Wash and pat dry your lettuce leaves.
  3. Lay out your turkey slices and cheese if using.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

  1. Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface or board.
  2. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of the honey mustard dressing evenly over the tortilla.
  3. Layer lettuce leaves, turkey slices, avocado, and tomato on top.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Add shredded cheese if you like.

Step 4: Roll the Wrap

  1. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
  2. If desired, secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment paper.

Step 5: Optional Toasting (for a warm version)

  • Heat a pan or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Lightly toast the wrap for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

How to Serve

  • Slice each wrap diagonally for a clean presentation.
  • Serve with extra honey mustard dipping sauce or a side of baked chips, fresh fruit, or a small salad.
  • Perfect as a light lunch, on-the-go snack, or quick dinner.

Recipe Tips

  • Use ripe but firm avocados — they’re easier to slice and won’t make the wrap soggy.
  • To prevent avocado from browning, drizzle with a little lemon or lime juice.
  • Warm tortillas before assembling to make them more flexible and prevent tearing.
  • For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
  • You can prepare the honey mustard sauce in advance and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Recipe Variations

  1. Turkey Bacon Wrap: Add crispy bacon for an extra crunch and smoky flavor.
  2. Spicy Kick Version: Add sliced jalapeños or mix sriracha into your honey mustard sauce.
  3. Vegetarian Version: Substitute turkey with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
  4. Turkey and Cranberry Wrap: Spread a thin layer of cranberry sauce along with honey mustard for a festive twist.
  5. Mediterranean Style: Replace honey mustard with hummus and add cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese.

Freezing and Storage

  • Refrigeration:
    Store assembled wraps tightly wrapped in parchment or foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing:
    It’s not recommended to freeze wraps containing avocado and fresh veggies — they may become mushy.
    However, you can freeze the turkey and cheese components separately for up to 1 month and assemble fresh when needed.

Special Equipment Needed

  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl (for honey mustard sauce)
  • Whisk or fork
  • Cutting board
  • Non-stick skillet or grill pan (optional, for toasting)
