Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large flour tortilla 10-inch
  • 120 g about 4 oz sliced deli turkey breast (low sodium)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado sliced or mashed
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill or any herb you like
  • 2 –3 romaine or butter lettuce leaves
  • 2 –3 thin slices of tomato
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice over the avocado to keep it fresh

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with garlic powder and dried dill. This is your quick tzatziki spread.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  3. Spread the Greek yogurt mixture evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
  4. Layer the romaine leaves across the middle of the wrap first — they act as a moisture barrier and keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
  5. Add the turkey slices, then the avocado. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add tomato slices if using.
  6. To wrap: fold in the two short sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling compact as you roll.
  7. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately. If packing for later, wrap tightly in parchment or foil to keep its shape.

Notes

Buy deli turkey from the deli counter in bulk rather than the pre-packaged sliced versions — it's almost always cheaper per ounce and fresher. Ask for it sliced thin. A single avocado goes a long way; if you only use half, store the other half with the pit in, wrapped tightly in plastic, to slow browning. Buying a large container of Greek yogurt and using it across multiple recipes is one of the easiest ways to cut your weekly food cost.
