Storage/Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If prepping ahead, consider leaving out the avocado and adding it just before serving to prevent browning. These wraps are meant to be eaten cold and do not require reheating.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, chicken breast, or roast beef work well as substitutes for turkey.
Is Cajun seasoning very spicy?
It depends on the brand. You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce to suit your heat preference.
Can I make this wrap dairy-free?
Yes, just make sure your mayonnaise is dairy-free and avoid adding cheese.
What kind of tortilla should I use?
Large flour tortillas work best, but whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas are great alternatives.
How do I keep the wrap from unrolling?
Roll it tightly and use a toothpick to secure it. You can also wrap it in foil or parchment paper for easier handling.
Can I make the Cajun mayo ahead of time?
Absolutely. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
What’s a good side dish for these wraps?
Pair them with sweet potato fries, a side salad, or fruit for a balanced meal.
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of mayo?
Yes, plain Greek yogurt makes a lighter alternative to mayonnaise with added protein.
Will the avocado turn brown?
Yes, if left for too long. To avoid browning, add the avocado just before eating or toss it with a little lemon juice.
Can I grill the wrap?
Yes, grilling or pressing the wrap gives it a crispy exterior and melts any added cheese. Heat in a pan or sandwich press for 2–3 minutes per side.
