Equipment
- 1 cutting board
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 tablespoon measure
- 1 teaspoon measure
- 1 butter knife or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 medium tortilla wrap use gluten-free if preferred
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 –2 tablespoons hummus classic flavor recommended
- ½ cup baby spinach leaves stems removed
- 6 grape or cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 –3 slices deli-style maple honey turkey
Instructions
- Prepare the tortilla base: Place your tortilla wrap on a clean cutting board or plate. Make sure it is flat and smooth so it doesn’t crack when rolling later. If your wrap feels stiff or has been refrigerated, warm it in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it soft and pliable. A flexible tortilla ensures easier rolling and prevents tearing.
- Spread the creamy foundation: Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread the mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about ½ inch of space around the edges. This thin coating not only adds flavor but also creates a moisture barrier, keeping the wrap fresh. Next, layer the Dijon mustard on top of the mayo, gently blending the two for a tangy and creamy base.
- Add the hummus layer: Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of hummus onto the tortilla and spread it smoothly across the mayo-mustard mixture. Hummus adds a nutty richness, plant-based protein, and healthy fats that balance the lean turkey. Make sure it’s evenly distributed, as this helps the fillings stick together once rolled.
- Layer the fresh spinach: Take a generous handful of baby spinach leaves (about ½ cup) and arrange them in a single, even layer over the hummus. Remove any thick stems beforehand to ensure a tender bite. The spinach not only brings a fresh crunch but also adds fiber, vitamins, and vibrant green color to the wrap.
- Scatter the juicy tomatoes: Slice six grape or cherry tomatoes in half and place them evenly across the spinach. Their sweetness and juiciness brighten up the flavors while adding a refreshing burst to each bite.For best results, dab them gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture—this helps prevent a soggy wrap.
- Arrange the turkey slices: Lay 2–3 slices of deli-style maple honey turkey over the vegetables. Position the slices so they cover most of the tortilla, overlapping slightly if needed. The lean turkey provides satisfying protein, a touch of sweetness from the maple, and a hearty texture that balances the fresh vegetables.
- Roll the wrap securely: Starting from one edge, carefully fold the tortilla over the filling. Tuck the edge tightly underneath to secure the ingredients, then continue rolling until you have a neat, compact wrap. Apply gentle but firm pressure as you roll—too loose and the fillings will fall out, too tight and the tortilla may tear.
- Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half at a diagonal for a clean, café-style presentation. Arrange the halves on a plate and serve immediately for best taste and texture. If packing for lunch, wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil to keep everything in place until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use a soft tortilla to avoid tearing during rolling—warm it briefly if needed.
- Hummus not only adds creaminess but also helps hold the wrap together.
- Patting the tomatoes dry prevents extra moisture and sogginess.
- Maple honey turkey balances the tang of mustard and the freshness of vegetables.
- For meal prep, wrap tightly in foil or parchment to keep ingredients intact.
