Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces flour tortillas warm to make pliable
  • 2 cups leftover cooked turkey sliced thinly or shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Swiss
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup dressing mustard, ranch, or hummus
  • optional additional toppings sliced tomatoes, pickles, herbs

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface and briefly warm each in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. This helps prevent tearing when rolling.
  2. Thinly slice or shred your leftover turkey and set aside. If the turkey is cold and firm, microwave it for about 10 seconds to loosen it up without drying it out.
  3. Prepare your toppings: shred the cheese, wash and dry the lettuce leaves, and have your dressing ready. Keep everything within reach for assembly.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until edges are golden and turkey is warmed through with a slight crisp on the edges.
  5. Spread a thin layer of your chosen dressing over each warm tortilla, then evenly distribute slices of warm turkey on top.
  6. Add shredded cheese and a few lettuce leaves to each tortilla, along with any optional toppings like sliced tomatoes or herbs.
  7. Roll up each tortilla tightly from one edge, folding in the sides as you go, to form a secure wrap. Use a spatula to tuck in any spillover filling and help seal the edges.
  8. Let the assembled wraps rest for about a minute to allow the flavors to meld and the wrap to set.
  9. Slice the wraps in half diagonally if desired, then serve immediately. Enjoy the crispy exterior with the juicy, flavorful interior in every bite.
