Turkey Roll Ups

It might seem strange that I made the recipe make 4 1/2 wraps, but there is a reason for this. Because of the fresh avocado, I find the wraps don't usually last more than 3 days and because 1 1/2 wraps makes a perfect serving, 4 1/2 wraps is perfect for 3 days.

Yields3 Servings
Total Time30 mins
Ingredients:
 4 ½ whole wheat tortillas (sprouted preferred)
 1 ½ avocados, diced (202.5g)
 A dash of paprika
 A dash of cayenne (optional for added spice)
 salt and pepper
 2 ¼ tsp dijion mustard
 9 slices of turkey (247.5g)
 A scant cup pepper jack slices (3.8 oz)
 2 tomatoes, sliced (207g)
  cup sliced black olives
 7 lettuce leaves
Recipe:
1

Gather and prepare all the ingredients. I like to weigh out all my portions and separate them into little piles before I begin.

Next, heat tortillas in a pan over medium high heat. Cook both sides till they are soft and lightly browned. This will make them easier to work with, less likely to break, and improve the flavor. Be careful not to over cook them, for that will make them hard and crack easy when rolling wraps.

After that, place one tortilla on a cutting board. Put about 1/3 of an avocado (45g) on the tortillas. Season with paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork and spread evenly over the whole tortilla. Then add 1/2 tsp mustard and spread evenly (remember to first shake the mustard and squirt out watery part). Then break apart 2 turkey slices (55g) and lay on tortilla, season with pepper. Top with a few pieces of cheese (0.85 oz), 3 slices of tomato (46g), some olive slices, and a few pieces of lettuce. For ease of rolling, center ingredients and place closer to the edge you will start rolling from.

Before rolling, lay out a piece of plastic wrap and place a piece of paper towel on top. The plastic wrap will hold the wrap together and the paper towel will absorb moisture and prevent the wrap from getting soggy.

5

Now for rolling. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla towards the center (they should lay partially over the ingredient pile, but likely won’t touch). Then take the bottom flap (the side the ingredients are closer to) and fold that over the top (this should hold the left and right tucks down). Then roll your wrap, making sure the left and right sides stay tucked in. Then place on top of plastic wrap and roll up. Repeat steps 3-5 for your remaining wraps.

Since this recipe makes 4 1/2 wraps, one of the wraps you make is a half wrap. Just use half the ingredients in this one compared to the others and don't worry about tucking in the edges when you roll it. Additionally, cut one of the full wraps in half and cover each open end with more plastic wrap. This will make it so you have 1 1/2 wrap portions ready. Lastly, store wraps in fridge for up to 3 days and enjoy!
