Turkey & Hummus Wraps - A Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful Lunch

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Large tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or regular flour)
  • Hummus (classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic)
  • Sliced turkey breast (deli-style or leftover roasted turkey)
  • Leafy greens (spinach, romaine, or spring mix)
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Tomatoes (Roma, cherry, or grape), sliced
  • Red onion, very thinly sliced (optional)
  • Avocado, sliced (optional for creaminess)
  • Shredded carrots (optional for crunch)
  • Feta or cheddar, crumbled or shredded (optional)
  • Lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Seasonings (paprika, chili flakes, or za’atar, optional)

Method
 

  1. Warm the wrap: Place a tortilla on a dry skillet over low heat for 10–15 seconds per side. This makes it more pliable and less likely to tear.
  2. Spread the hummus: Add 2–3 tablespoons of hummus and spread it evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. This acts as your “glue” and keeps the wrap moist.
  3. Layer the turkey: Add 3–4 slices of turkey in a line down the center. Keep the filling slightly off-center to make rolling easier.
  4. Add the veggies: Layer greens, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. If using, add avocado and shredded carrots. Don’t overstuff—too much filling makes rolling tricky.
  5. Season smartly: Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning. Add a squeeze of lemon or a tiny splash of vinegar for brightness, and a light drizzle of olive oil if you like.
  6. Optional cheese: Add a small handful of crumbled feta or shredded cheddar for extra richness.
  7. Fold and roll: Fold the sides in over the filling. Pull the bottom edge up and over, then roll tightly away from you. Press gently to seal.
  8. Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap in half on a diagonal. Enjoy right away or wrap tightly in parchment or foil for later.
