Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Adjust sweetness or tang as needed.

Set aside. This sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance.

Step 2: Prepare the Wrap Base

Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of honey mustard sauce over each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.

This helps prevent soggy wraps and keeps the filling secure.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

On the lower third of each tortilla, layer:

  • Lettuce
  • Turkey slices (fold slightly for volume)
  • Tomato slices
  • Cheese
  • Red onion, if using

Keep ingredients centered for easy rolling.

Step 4: Roll the Wrap

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping pressure even. Slice in half diagonally if desired.

Serve immediately or wrap tightly for later.

Tips & Tricks / Flavor Variations

  • Spicy honey mustard: Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce
  • Apple crunch: Add thin apple slices for sweetness
  • Bacon upgrade: Add cooked bacon for a deli style twist
  • Low carb option: Use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas
  • Toasted wrap: Grill lightly for a warm, crispy exterior

If you enjoy wraps and handheld meals, this pairs nicely with lighter dinners during the week, especially when balanced with comfort meals like Easy Lasagna Cups on busier nights.
