Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large whole wheat tortillas
- 200 grams Cooked turkey or chicken slices
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 large Cucumber
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the avocado by scooping out the flesh into a small bowl and mashing it with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper for flavor.
2. Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
3. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt evenly over the tortilla.
4. Add one lettuce leaf to the center of the tortilla. Spread a quarter of the mashed avocado evenly on top of the lettuce.
5. Layer 50 grams of turkey or chicken slices over the avocado, followed by a few slices of tomato and cucumber.
6. If using fresh cilantro or parsley, sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon over the filling for added freshness.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Repeat the same steps for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
8. Slice each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. For meal prep, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
