Sliced turkey, crisp bacon, avocado and lettuce rolled in a flour tortilla with a smear of mayonnaise, a satisfying American lunch wrap.
This wrap takes the classic combination found in a turkey club sandwich β turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato β and rolls it into a tortilla instead, adding sliced avocado for a distinctly California-style twist on the original. The bacon is cooked until properly crisp, since a limp piece of bacon will disappear inside the wrap, while the turkey is best sliced from a whole roasted or deli piece rather than pre-shredded for a cleaner bite. Rolled tightly and sliced in half on the diagonal, this wrap makes for an easy, portable lunch that hits all the same notes as its sandwich namesake while being considerably easier to pack and eat on the go.
Serves 4
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise over each tortilla.
Layer turkey, crisp bacon, avocado slices, tomato and lettuce down the center of each tortilla.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
Roll tightly but not so hard that the fillings squeeze out the ends β a snug, even roll holds together best when sliced.
Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.
Cook the bacon until genuinely crisp β limp bacon gets lost inside the wrap and doesn't provide the crunch this dish needs.
Warm the tortillas before rolling; cold, stiff tortillas crack easily when folded around a full filling.
Slice the avocado just before assembling to prevent it from browning.
Adding a slice of pepper jack or cheddar cheese makes for a heartier wrap.
Swap mayonnaise for a chipotle mayo or ranch dressing for extra flavor.
Rotisserie chicken can substitute for deli turkey if that's what's on hand.
Best assembled and eaten fresh; if making ahead, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to a day, though the lettuce and tomato will soften somewhat.
This wrap draws on the classic American turkey club sandwich, a dish popularized in the early 20th century at country clubs, adapted here into a tortilla-wrapped format that reflects the broader American embrace of wraps as a quick, portable lunch option.
Yes, though it's best assembled the morning of or the night before, since the lettuce and tomato will soften if stored too long.
A large wheat wrap or even a soft lavash works as a substitute, though the size and pliability may differ slightly.
It was likely rolled too loosely, or overfilled β roll snugly and don't overstuff, leaving enough tortilla to fold securely around the filling.
