Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup leftover turkey, sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup lettuce
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
Instructions
- Lay out the large tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
- Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese across the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.
- Arrange the sliced leftover turkey evenly in the center of each tortilla, creating a neat horizontal line of meat.
- Spoon cranberry sauce over the turkey, distributing it evenly to ensure each bite has a balanced flavor.
- Sprinkle fresh, crisp lettuce on top of the cranberry sauce and turkey to add a refreshing crunch.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a tight wrap.
- Gently roll the wrap from the bottom up, ensuring the filling remains compact and secure.
- Optional: If desired, slice the wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately at room temperature, or wrap in parchment paper to keep the wrap intact if taking for lunch.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh lettuce and high-quality cranberry sauce. This will enhance the overall taste of your wrap.
- Experiment with Tortillas: While large flour tortillas work great, you can also try spinach or whole wheat tortillas for added nutrition and flavor.
- Add Extra Crunch: Consider adding sliced cucumbers or bell peppers for an extra crunch and a pop of color in your wrap.
- Customize Your Fillings: Don’t hesitate to mix in other leftovers like stuffing or roasted vegetables to make your wrap even more satisfying.
- Wrap It Right: Ensure you leave a small border around the edges of the tortilla when spreading cream cheese to prevent spillage when rolling.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your wrap with a side of chips or a light salad for a complete meal that’s both delicious and filling.
- Make Ahead: If you’re planning to take these wraps for lunch, prepare them the night before and store them wrapped in parchment paper to keep them fresh.
