storage/reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if tightly wrapped in foil or an airtight container.

FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance. Wrap them tightly and store in the fridge. Add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
What’s the best type of turkey to use?
Deli-sliced turkey breast or leftover roasted turkey both work well. Choose low-sodium options for a healthier choice.
Can I substitute the Greek yogurt spread?
Yes, you can use hummus, mashed avocado, or cream cheese as alternatives to the yogurt spread.
Are these wraps gluten-free?
Not as written, but you can easily make them gluten-free by using certified gluten-free tortillas.
What type of tortilla works best?
Whole wheat tortillas are nutritious and hold up well, but you can use any variety you prefer, including spinach, tomato-basil, or low-carb options.
How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?
Add moisture-rich ingredients like tomato and avocado closer to the center and use dry lettuce leaves to act as a barrier. Wrap tightly to reduce air exposure.
Can I freeze these wraps?
No, freezing is not recommended due to the fresh vegetables and avocado, which do not thaw well.
How do I make these wraps more filling?
Add cooked quinoa, brown rice, or chickpeas to increase fiber and satiety.
What other vegetables can I add?
Bell peppers, sprouts, shredded cabbage, or radishes are great additions for more flavor and crunch.
Are these wraps suitable for kids?
Yes, they are kid-friendly. Consider using a milder spread and cutting the wraps into smaller pinwheels for easier handling.
