A quick and easy tortilla wrap recipe that combines fresh veggies, protein, and a creamy tangy sauce for a flavorful, satisfying meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch, soft but sturdy)
  • Cooked protein: grilled chicken strips, canned black beans, or sliced turkey breast (about 1 cup)
  • Fresh greens: baby spinach or romaine lettuce, roughly chopped (1 cup)
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced (½ cup)
  • Shredded carrots (½ cup)
  • Bell pepper, thinly sliced (½ cup; red or yellow)
  • Avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Greek yogurt (½ cup; dairy-free coconut yogurt if preferred)
  • Lime juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic powder (½ teaspoon)
  • Smoked paprika (¼ teaspoon)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional hot sauce (a few dashes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the creamy sauce: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, salt and pepper to taste, and optional hot sauce. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each tortilla in the pan for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  3. Prepare the fillings: Slice your protein into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Wash and chop all veggies—cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, and greens. Slice avocado carefully if using.
  4. Assemble the wrap: Lay the warm tortilla flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the creamy sauce down the middle lengthwise. Layer the protein evenly over the sauce, then add fresh veggies starting with leafy greens, followed by cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, and avocado slices.
  5. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon more sauce on top of the veggies to lock in moisture and flavor.
  6. Roll it up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges tightly and continue rolling toward the top until fully wrapped.
  7. Optional: Toast the wrap by placing the rolled wrap back into the skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to seal it with a light crisp.

Notes

Warm tortillas before assembling to make rolling easier and prevent stiffness. Layer sauce under and over fillings to keep the wrap from getting soggy. Avoid overfilling to prevent the wrap from falling apart. Avocado should be added last and separately if making ahead to avoid browning. Toasting the wrap adds a nice crunch and seals the wrap.
