It is also highly customizable, making it perfect for families with different dietary needs.

Ingredients

• 1 tortilla (regular, low carb, or gluten free)
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
• 2-3 leaves of lettuce
• 1 slice cheddar cheese
• 3 slices turkey
• 2 slices bacon, cooked
• 3-4 small tomato slices (such as Campari tomatoes)
• 2 slices avocado
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. The first step is to heat your wrap in the microwave or in a lightly-greased skillet so it is pliable. You can skip this step if you prefer cold wraps, but warming it helps prevent the tortilla from cracking.
2. Next, spread the mustard and mayonnaise evenly across the surface of the tortilla.
3. Top the condiments with the lettuce leaves and the slice of cheddar cheese.
4. Add the turkey slices, cooked bacon, avocado, and tomato slices down the center of the wrap.
5. Season the fillings with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Roll the wrap very tightly to ensure the fillings stay in place, then slice it down the center before serving.

Expert Tips / Pro Tips

To make the best California Turkey Club Wrap, start with a fresh avocado that is slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. If you are making this for a packed lunch, place the cheese and meat closest to the tortilla and the “wet” ingredients like tomatoes and avocado in the center to prevent the wrap from getting soggy. Another pro tip is to use a “burrito fold”—fold the sides in first, then roll from the bottom up—to keep all those delicious ingredients from falling out the bottom while you eat.

Variations & Substitutions

This recipe is incredibly flexible. If you want to make a low-carb California Turkey Club Wrap, you can eliminate the tortilla altogether and use large romaine lettuce leaves or butter lettuce as the vessel. For a different flavor profile, try using pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for a spicy kick, or swap the turkey for grilled chicken. If you are following a keto diet, you can even use Zucchini Keto Tortillas to save about 19 net carbs while adding an extra serving of vegetables to your day.

Serving Suggestions

This wrap has such great crunchy textures that it goes well with just about every side dish that is easy to pack for lunch. For a classic pairing, serve it with Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Pesto or Corn Fritters. If you are looking for something lighter, a Lima Bean Salsa or a simple side salad works beautifully. For those following a low-carb lifestyle, these Chili Cheese Collard Greens are a fantastic option, containing only 1 net carb per cup.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Wraps are generally best when enjoyed fresh or within a few hours of assembly. If you are using this for meal prep, it is recommended to prepare the components ahead of time—such as cooking the bacon and washing the lettuce—and then assembling the wrap the morning you plan to eat it. While you can store an assembled wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, the avocado may brown and the tortilla may soften. Freezing is not recommended for this recipe due to the fresh vegetable content.

FAQ

Are wraps good for meal prep?

Yes! Wraps are excellent for meal prep, though they are best when assembled fresh. To save time, you can cook your bacon in advance and store it in the fridge. Pre-washing and chopping your lettuce also makes the final assembly take less than 10 minutes.

Can I make this wrap keto-friendly?

Absolutely. You can make this California Turkey Club Wrap keto-friendly by using a low-carb tortilla or by replacing the tortilla with large lettuce leaves. Using lettuce leaves can save you approximately 20 net carbs per serving.

What is the best way to keep the wrap from falling apart?

The key is to warm the tortilla slightly so it is pliable and to roll it as tightly as possible. If you are struggling to keep it closed, you can wrap it tightly in parchment paper or foil before slicing it through the middle.

What other easy wrap recipes do you recommend?

If you enjoy this recipe, you might also like a Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap or a Grilled Zucchini Hummus Wrap for a meatless option. For more low-carb ideas, Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps or Keto BLT Wraps are always popular choices.
