What to Serve/Pair with Turkey & Avocado Lettuce Wraps

I don’t know what it is about wraps, but they always make me crave chips. Instead of reaching for an unhealthy bag of potato chips, try a single serving trail mix. Since you may need more calories at times, adding additional healthy fats with nuts helps curb that hunger!


Popular Substitutions & Additions

I like making these wraps with turkey, but you can also use chicken, or even tuna. 

To save some time, you can buy a container of mashed avocado and use that instead of dicing your own.

You can also use a guacamole cup (sealed for convenience) or a squeeze packet to ensure your avocado is fresh and tasty in flight!

Feel free to add any of your favorite veggies to these wraps!

 

Travel Tips

How do they travel?

The best thing about these wraps is how portable they are! You will want to keep them chilled, so an insulated bag with an ice pack would be handy. Because these wraps are handheld, you can eat them just about anywhere, even on the go.

 

How do I package them?

These wraps are very simple to package. You can wrap them individually in plastic wrap, or put them into a sealed portable container. I recommend sealing each wrap with a toothpick so that they don’t pop open.
