I love putting a spin on salads and amping up the flavor quotient with a zesty and delicious dressing. Another way to enjoy a salad, is to give it a little makeover and turn it into a wrap. This makes for a filling and nutritious meal, without leaving you feeling heavy.
Another reason why I love to make a dream come true! Have a ball experimenting!
These wraps use grilled turkey breast meat in the filling, but you could use chicken as well. The filling also has cubed avocado, sweet corn kernels, and a splash of lime and chopped fresh parsley. The dip is really the star here. It is made with roasted bell peppers, feta cheese and olive oil. The dressing packs a punch, and you could use it as a dip for tortillas, baked potatoes, chips, or just about anything you like.
Enjoy summer with these deliciously filling, yet easy-to-make wraps!

Mildly spiced grilled turkey, avocado, sweet corn come together with a feta cheese and roasted bell pepper dip in this nutritious and wholesome wrap recipe
|
- 250 grams turkey breast fillets (around 3 fillets)
- 2 small to medium avocados (peeled, seeded and cut into cubes)
- 1/2 can sweet corn kernels
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
- 5-6 Tortillas (whole wheat, corn or white flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 2 grated cloves of garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 75 grams crumbled feta cheese
- 3 Jarred roasted red bell peppers (drained)
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- Start by marinating the turkey breasts in the marinade. Mix together all the ingredients listed under 'marinade' and transfer the mixture to a food-safe bag, together with the turkey breasts. Give it a good shake, until the turkey meat is well coated with the marinade. Keep the bag in the refrigerator and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- After marinating for at least 30 minutes (best overnight), heat up a grill (you can use a stove-top grill or any grill of your choice). grill the turkey breast pieces for 7 minutes on each side until cooked. Once cooked, let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Cut the grilled turkey meat into small pieces and keep aside.
- To make the dressing, add the bell peppers, feta cheese and olive oil in a blender and blend together until just combined. Keep aside.
- To assemble the wraps, start by warming the tortillas individually on a stove top. Transfer the warmed tortilla on a plate and add the grilled turkey meat pieces. In a bowl, add the chopped avocado, corn kernels, parsley and lemon juice. Mix together. Spread some of this avocado-corn mixture over the turkey pieces. Finally, spoon over some of the feta pepper dip.
- Your wrap is ready! You can slice the wrap in the middle and make two portions of each wrap to serve.
