Ingredients
  

  • Wraps
  • 4 large flour tortillas 25cm / 10-inch
  • 300 g 10 oz good quality sliced deli turkey breast
  • 2 large ripe avocados sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach or shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 large tomato thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion very thinly sliced
  • ½ cucumber thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Spread
  • 4 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Whisk all spread ingredients together until smooth. Taste and adjust until creamy, tangy, and boldly seasoned.
  • Slice the avocado thinly and season immediately with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Warm tortillas in a dry pan for 20 to 30 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
  • Spread the mayonnaise mixture generously across the entire surface of each tortilla right to the edges.
  • Layer cheese first if using, then lettuce directly on the spread as a moisture barrier.
  • Layer turkey evenly across the lettuce with full coverage rather than piling in one spot.
  • Arrange avocado, tomato, cucumber, and red onion over the turkey. Season the vegetable layer lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Add any optional extras at this stage.
  • Fold sides in firmly, then roll forward tightly, maintaining tension throughout the roll.
  • Cut diagonally with one confident downward motion. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper.

Notes

  • Always warm tortillas before rolling — cold tortillas crack and split when rolled tightly
  • Put lettuce directly on the spread as a moisture barrier to prevent a soggy wrap
  • Season the vegetable layer directly with salt and pepper for flavor throughout
  • Spread the sauce all the way to the edges so every bite is flavored from end to end
  • Roll tightly with intention — fold sides first then roll forward with consistent tension
  • Cut with one downward motion not a sawing action, to keep the wrap intact
  • Keep avocado separate if making ahead — add fresh just before eating to prevent browning
  • Use good-quality deli turkey from the counter, not the thinnest processed option
  • Assembled wraps without avocado keep for up to 24 hours wrapped in parchment in the fridge
  • Components stored separately keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge
