Makes: 1 serving
Ingredients
  • 1, 8 inch flour tortilla
  • ¼ cup guacamole
  • 4 slices sliced deli turkey
  • ½ cup chopped lettuce
Guacamole
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 medium sized ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions

Guacamole
  1. Peel and mash avocados. Stir in remaining ingredients. Put into a sealable container. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole so that there is no air in between (this helps to keep it from browning). Seal container closed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to blend flavors. Season with additional salt, pepper and lime juice if necessary. (Makes enough for 6-8 wraps.)
