Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 200g (7 oz) deli turkey breast
  • 4–6 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1–2 tsp everything bagel seasoning
  • A handful of fresh spinach or romaine lettuce
  • Optional: sliced avocado, roasted red peppers, Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Lay one large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. If stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to make pliable.
  3. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges of the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border.
  4. Place 2-3 slices of provolone cheese in the center of the tortilla, slightly overlapping.
  5. Layer the deli turkey breast evenly over the cheese, using about 3-4 slices overlapping slightly.
  6. Place a small handful of fresh spinach or romaine lettuce on top of the turkey, keeping it centered and compact.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, tightly roll the tortilla away from you, starting from the bottom edge, tucking snugly as you go.
  8. Place the finished wrap seam-side down on parchment paper or plastic wrap. Wrap tightly, twisting the ends to secure.
  9. For cleanest cuts, refrigerate the wrapped roll for 10-15 minutes.
  10. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice the wrap in half on a diagonal or straight across. Unwrap and enjoy immediately or pack for lunch.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid tearing the tortilla. Do not overfill. Chilling the wrap before slicing helps keep it intact. The cream cheese spread acts as a moisture barrier to prevent sogginess.
