Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Spread
- 3 medium-to-large tortillas
- 2 tablespoons mayo (plus extra for spreading on tortillas)
Coleslaw Mixture
- 1 cup packaged coleslaw mix
- 1 cup grated Granny Smith apple (grated on large holes of box grater)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Filling
- Thick-sliced deli turkey (amount as desired)
- 3 slices sharp Cheddar cheese (cut in half)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coleslaw Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the packaged coleslaw mix, grated Granny Smith apple, 2 tablespoons mayo, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss all ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Spread the Mayonnaise: Take each tortilla and spread a thin layer of mayo over the surface to add flavor and moisture.
- Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the coleslaw mixture among the three tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Add half slices of sharp Cheddar cheese on top of the coleslaw and then layer with thick slices of deli turkey according to your preference.
- Roll and Serve: Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, then cut each wrap in half. Serve immediately for the best texture as these wraps do not hold well when stored due to the moisture in the coleslaw.
Notes
- Use extra mayonnaise for spreading on tortillas as it helps keep the wraps moist and adds flavor.
- Packaged coleslaw mix simplifies preparation but fresh shredded cabbage and carrots can be used as alternatives.
- Sharp Cheddar cheese provides a nice tangy contrast; you may substitute it with your favorite cheese.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to avoid sogginess caused by the coleslaw dressing.
