Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large whole wheat or high-fiber tortilla
- 3 tablespoons plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or softened cream cheese)
- 3 slices lean deli turkey or ham
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup rinsed black beans or chickpeas
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- Optional: A drizzle of honey mustard or mild salsa
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation Lay your tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or plate. If the tortilla feels stiff, microwave it for 10 seconds to make it more pliable. Spread the Greek yogurt evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. This acts as the “glue” for your other ingredients and provides a massive protein boost without the need for eggs.
- Step 2: Layering the Protein Place the deli turkey slices directly on top of the yogurt base. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and the black beans over the turkey. By placing the dry ingredients on top of the yogurt and meat, you prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy. Top the mixture with chopped spinach and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper for flavor.
- Step 3: Rolling and Storing Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward toward the center. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upward into a burrito shape. If you are eating it immediately, slice it in half. If you are making this ahead of time, wrap the roll tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator. This keeps the wrap fresh and ready for a quick grab in the morning.
