- Hummus: Any flavor will do; I recommend garlic or roasted red pepper for an extra kick.
- Cucumber: Fresh cucumbers add crunch; look for firm ones that don’t have soft spots.
- Red Bell Pepper: Sweet red bell peppers bring color; slice them thinly for easy rolling.
- Spinach Leaves: Use fresh spinach leaves for an added nutritional boost and lovely green color.
- Carrots: Shredded carrots are perfect for sweetness; use pre-shredded or shred them yourself if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens flavors; use it moderately so it doesn’t overpower.
- Salt and Pepper: A sprinkle of salt and pepper enhances all the flavors within the wrap.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Workspace: Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean surface. Lay out your tortillas flat so they’re ready for assembly.
Smooth on the Hummus: Spread an even layer of hummus over each tortilla, leaving about an inch from the edges. The creaminess will serve as glue!
Add Your Turkey Slices: Layer down slices of turkey breast over the hummus. Feel free to pile them high—this is your masterpiece after all!
Pile on Fresh Veggies: Scatter cucumber slices, shredded carrots, red bell pepper strips, and spinach leaves over the turkey. Mix textures here; go wild with colors!
Squeeze Lemon Juice & Seasoning : Drizzle lemon juice over your colorful pile and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Your tastebuds are going to thank you!
Roll It Up Tight!: Starting at one end, carefully roll up the tortilla tightly away from you, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half diagonally and enjoy!
