Ingredients
- 1 large (about 70 g) whole wheat tortilla
- 120 g (about 4 oz) deli turkey breast, sliced
- 40 g (about 1/4 medium avocado) avocado, sliced or mashed
- 50 g (about 1 cup) shredded lettuce
- 50 g (about 1/3 medium tomato) tomato, diced
- to taste salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or a sheet of parchment paper.
- Spread the mashed or sliced avocado evenly down the center of the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Season the avocado lightly with salt and black pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
- Layer the sliced deli turkey breast evenly over the avocado layer, folding the slices if necessary to fit within the center third of the tortilla.
- Scatter the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes directly over the turkey.
- Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward by about 2 centimeters to lock in the ends.
- Starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll the tortilla tightly upward away from you, keeping the filling compact as you go.
- Slice the wrap diagonally in half with a sharp serrated knife and serve immediately.
Pro tips
- To prevent the wrap from becoming soggy during meal prep, place the dry shredded lettuce directly against the tortilla to act as a moisture barrier between the juicy tomatoes and the bread.
- Higher-protein swap: Add a tablespoon of plain non-fat Greek yogurt to the turkey layer for an extra protein boost.
- Budget swap: Substitute the fresh avocado with a thin spread of hummus or mustard if avocados are out of season or expensive.
- The most common way people ruin this wrap is by overfilling it, which causes the tortilla to tear; stick strictly to the measured ingredient quantities for a clean, secure roll.
- If meal prepping for the next day, pack the diced tomatoes separately and add them just before eating to maintain optimal texture.
Storage & reheating
Store the fully assembled wrap tightly wrapped in parchment paper or foil inside an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Freezing is not recommended due to the high water content of fresh tomatoes and lettuce.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make this wrap ahead of time for meal prep?
Yes, you can prep it up to a day in advance. For the best texture, keep the diced tomatoes in a separate small container and add them right before eating to prevent the wrap from getting soggy.
How can I prevent the wrap from falling apart?
Avoid overfilling the tortilla, tuck in the sides before rolling tightly from the bottom, and wrap the finished roll snugly in parchment paper or foil to hold its shape.
What can I use instead of turkey breast?
You can easily substitute grilled chicken breast, lean roast beef, or sliced firm tofu for a vegetarian alternative while keeping the same protein structure.
