Turkey Avocado Veggie Wraps

 

TURKEY AVOCADO VEGGIE WRAPS

yield: 4 WRAPS

 

prep time: 20 MINS

total time: 20 MINS

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium avocado
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or sour cream)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• Salt and pepper
• 4 tortillas or wraps (10- to 12-inches) Note: Mission brand has a few gluten free soft tortillas including vegan Spinach and Herb wraps that I saw at my Smiths
• 8 ounces shaved deli turkey
• 4 cups torn or chopped fresh spinach
• 1 cup shredded carrots or broccoli slaw mix
• 1 English cucumber, cut into thin matchstick slices
• 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
• 2 bell peppers, orange, red, yellow or green, cut into thin slices
• ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Oil and vinegar (optional
• Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS 

• In a small bowl, mash the avocado, sour cream or mayo, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper together until combined.
• To assemble the wraps, spread a couple tablespoons of the avocado spread over the wrap (leaving a thin border around the edge).
• Layer the following on one half of the wrap: turkey, spinach, carrots (or broccoli slaw), cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, Parmesan cheese.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a dash of olive oil and favorite vinegar (balsamic is delicious here), if desired.
• Starting from the edge loaded with turkey and veggies, roll up tightly. The avocado spread should help "seal" the wrap closed on the long edge.
• Cut in half. Serve immediately or refrigerate, well wrapped, for an hour or so before serving (any longer and the avocado spread may darken in color – doesn't affect the taste).
