Quick and easy wraps combining creamy avocado and lean turkey for a protein-packed, healthy snack or lunch option perfect for weight loss and on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch, soft but sturdy)
  • 8 oz (225 g) lean turkey slices, deli-sliced (nitrate-free if possible)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • A handful of baby spinach leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of two ripe avocados and mash with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until creamy and evenly combined.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro (or your herb of choice), optional but recommended.
  4. Place 4 whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  5. Layer approximately 2 oz (60 g) of lean turkey slices over the avocado spread on each tortilla.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons (about 25 g) of shredded cheese and a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves on top of the turkey.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a log. If the filling seems loose, wrap the roll snugly in plastic wrap or parchment paper for 10-15 minutes to help it set and hold shape.
  8. Remove the wrap from the plastic and slice each into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pinwheels using a sharp or serrated knife. Arrange on a plate and serve.

Notes

Use lime juice to prevent avocado browning. Wrap pinwheels tightly and chill before slicing for cleaner cuts. Substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option and use gluten-free tortillas if needed. Avoid overfilling to prevent messy rolling.
