California Turkey Club Wrap

About This Recipe

This wrap takes the classic combination found in a turkey club sandwich — turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato — 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.

• 4large flour tortillas
• 1/3 cupmayonnaise
• 300 gsliced turkey breast
• 8slices bacon(cooked until crisp)
• 2avocados(sliced)

• 2 cupsshredded lettuce
• 1/2 tspsalt

Instructions

1. 1

   Warm the tortillas

   Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.

2. 2

   Spread the mayonnaise

   Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise over each tortilla.

3. 3

   Layer turkey, crisp bacon, avocado slices, tomato and lettuce down the center of each tortilla.

4. 4

   Season lightly with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   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 — a snug, even roll holds together best when sliced.

6. 6

Variations

• •

  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.

Storage

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.
