It’s time for another edition of 5 Minute Lunch! A 5 Minute Lunch is a meal that can be prepared in 5 minutes or less, stashed in a bag or cooler, then eaten standing, sitting, or on the go later that afternoon. It’s gotta be quick, convenient, and taste good, of course! On the previous edition of the 5 Minute Lunch, we combined sliced deli turkey with crunchy pickles, cool avocado, and creamy hummus in Turkey, Avocado & Hummus Wraps. Today we’re heading in the same general direction, but taking a slightly more coastal route with Mediterranean Turkey Wraps. A tortilla rolled up with hummus, deli turkey, and kalamata olives, plus fresh tomato, cucumber, and red onion, is not only full of flavor and protein, but ready in — you guessed it — just 5 minutes!
I love the texture contrast between the creamy hummus, crunchy veggies, and everything in between. You will be thinking about this easy lunch recipe from the moment you make it, to the second you take a bite.
Start by slathering a flour-style tortilla with hummus — any flavor you like. Since we’re giving this wrap a Mediterranean spin, I recommend a red pepper, roasted garlic, or olive tapenade flavored hummus.
Next layer on a couple slices of roast deli turkey.
Now that we’ve gotten the protein part of the wrap taken care of with hummus and deli turkey, it’s time to turn to some fresh produce to jazz it up.
Layer on thin slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion, plus sliced or chopped kalamata olives. The trick to making sure your wraps are smooth when rolled up and don’t become soggy by lunchtime, is to slice the veggies very thin and, especially with tomatoes, remove any excess seeds/juices.
Next, start at one end and roll it on up!
Slice on the diagonal, stash in a plastic bag or container, then when lunchtime comes around – chow down!
You will totally dig this easy wrap! Make 1 or 2, and even add in some extra goodies like baby spinach or salty feta, if ya’ like. Hope you enjoy!
