Turkey Hummus Wrap: Low Carb and High Protein
This quick and easy, low-carb, dairy-free, and high protein delight features succulent deli turkey, creamy roasted red pepper hummus, and a hint of briny Kalamata olives. Topped with vibrant purple onions and wrapped in a wholesome whole wheat tortilla, this fully loaded wrap is a perfect balance of taste and nutrition.
- 2 low-carb tortillas (available at Costco)
- 6 ounces turkey slices (nitrate/nitrite-free)
- 2 tablespoons hummus (roasted red pepper is best!)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped purple onion
- 1 tablespoon Kalamata olives (optional, and pits removed)
- 2 ounces Lettuce Leaves
Take two low-carb tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface.
For a super low carb wrap (and gluten free) option, use the lettuce leaves in place of the tortilla.Spread 1 tablespoon of roasted red pepper hummus evenly on each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
Lay three slices of nitrate/nitrite-free deli turkey on each tortilla, creating a layer of protein. Opting for nitrate/nitrite-free deli meat is a healthier choice.
Sprinkle finely chopped purple onion and Kalamata olives over the turkey layer. These ingredients add a nice touch of flavor and texture to the wrap.
Place a leafy lettuce leaf on top of each tortilla, ensuring the ingredients are well-contained within the wrap.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, securing the filling inside. You can use toothpicks to hold the wraps together if needed.
Now it's time to enjoy your delicious Turkey Hummus Wraps! The combination of flavorful hummus, savory nitrate/nitrite-free turkey, and briny olives will surely satisfy your taste buds.
