These high-protein turkey ranch wraps are a quick and easy lunch option that teens love. Made with simple ingredients like deli turkey, ranch dressing, and cheese, they come together in under 10 minutes and are perfect for school lunches, after-practice snacks, or quick dinners.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best)
  • Deli turkey breast (8-10 slices per wrap)
  • Ranch dressing (2-3 tablespoons per wrap)
  • Shredded cheese (1/4 cup per wrap, cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
  • Lettuce or spinach (optional, 1/2 cup per wrap)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients first: Take the turkey out of the fridge and let it sit for a minute. Wash and dry the lettuce or spinach thoroughly, patting dry with paper towels.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Microwave each tortilla for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
  3. Spread the ranch: Lay the warm tortilla flat and spread 2-3 tablespoons of ranch dressing evenly across the entire surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer the turkey: Lay 8-10 slices of deli turkey flat across the center of the tortilla, overlapping slightly. Spread them out so every bite has turkey.
  5. Add the cheese: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the turkey. If using lettuce or spinach, place a small handful on top.
  6. Season lightly: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt and pepper over the fillings.
  7. Roll it tight: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the fillings, then fold in both sides. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla away from you as tightly as possible without tearing.
  8. Secure the wrap: Place the wrap seam-side down on plastic wrap or parchment paper and wrap tightly, tucking the ends in like a burrito.
  9. Let it rest: Let the wrapped wrap sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Cut in half diagonally or straight across with a sharp knife.

Notes

For best results, pat lettuce bone-dry to avoid sogginess. Spread ranch to the edges to create a moisture barrier. Wraps taste better after resting in the fridge for an hour or two. Can be made up to 3 days in advance. For a warm version, toast in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
