Make-Ahead Advice
You can prepare these wraps a few hours early. Keep them tightly wrapped in parchment paper. This prevents the tortilla from drying out. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready.
They stay fresh for about 24 hours. The avocado might brown slightly over time. Use a squeeze of lime to keep it green. Meal prep has never been this delicious or easy.
Pro Tips for Success

- Use a very ripe Hass avocado for maximum creaminess.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
- Pat the lettuce and tomatoes dry to avoid sogginess.
- Choose high-quality deli turkey for the best flavor.
- Avoid overfilling the wraps so they stay sealed.
- Use toothpicks to hold the wraps together if needed.
- Slice with a sharp serrated knife for clean edges.
Easy Swaps to Try
