Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced (leftover or rotisserie works great)

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite variety)

1 cup mixed bell peppers, thinly sliced (in a colorful array of red, yellow, and green)

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced for a zesty kick

4 large whole grain tortillas, for added nutrition

1/2 cup shredded cheese (choose between cheddar or mozzarella for flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced turkey with the barbecue sauce. Mix thoroughly until the turkey is completely coated in the sauce. Set the mixture aside to let the flavors meld together.

    Sauté the Veggies: Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still retain a slight crispness. Season them lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Start by layering a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla. Next, spoon a portion of the BBQ turkey mixture on top, followed by the sautéed bell peppers and red onions. Don't forget to add a sprinkle of shredded carrots and cheese for added texture and taste.

        Wrap It Up: Begin folding the sides of the tortilla in over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly up towards the top, ensuring that the filling stays securely inside. If necessary, secure each wrap with a toothpick or wrap it snugly in parchment paper.

          Serve & Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation and serve immediately. For those preparing them in advance, store the wraps in the refrigerator until you are ready to enjoy them. Garnish your wraps with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or jalapeños for a delightful finishing touch.
