Ever since I made these chicken caesar salad wraps, I’ve been obsessed with creating wraps using salad kits. They are so easy to make and don’t require any cooking skills whatsoever!
The wraps take about 10 minutes to make and they stay fresh for up to 2-3 days in the fridge. On busy mornings, I just grab a wrap, throw it in my lunch bag, and I’m out the door in no time!
I’m usually rushing out the door in the mornings, so I barely have time to pack my lunchbox. Recently I’ve been making these wraps for meal prep on Sunday afternoons, which has been a total lifesaver!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
🌯 These southwest turkey wraps are:
- Made with just 3 ingredients
- Ready in just 10 minutes
- High protein
- No-cook
- Meal prep friendly
- Very customizable
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Flour tortillas – I used 10 inch burrito-sized flour tortillas. The larger size makes it easier to roll up your wrap without tearing. You can also use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for extra flavor and fiber.
- Sliced turkey breast – I used oven-roasted turkey slices for this recipe since it has a mild flavor that pairs well with the Southwest salad. I recommend using low-sodium deli meat if possible!
- Southwest salad kit – I used the Trader Joe’s Southwestern Chopped Salad Kit, but you can also find similar salad kits at your local grocery store, Walmart, Aldi, etc. Most salad kits include the greens, toppings, and dressing all in one convenient package which saves you time and money!
This salad kit from TJ’s includes green cabbage, carrots, radish, romaine lettuce, green onions, cilantro, pepitas, tortilla strips, cotija cheese, and a spicy avocado dressing.
📌 OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: Feel free to throw in extra veggies and toppings! Chopped bell pepper, corn kernels, sliced avocado, and extra tortilla strips would all taste amazing in these wraps.

Storage Instructions
The following text may contain Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases made through links on this post at no additional cost to you.
- Meal Prep: Make 3-4 wraps on meal prep day. Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap, or place in an air tight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Fridge: Assembled wraps last up to 3 days in the fridge when tightly wrapped in foil/plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. I’d recommend eating within 24 hours if you can, but 3 days is the max I would store these since the salad greens and crunchy toppings may start wilting afterwards.
- Packing in a lunchbox: Pack in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. Keep the wrap chilled until lunchtime to prevent bacterial contamination.
- Freezing is not recommended for assembled wraps since the salad greens will become soggy after thawing.
The Printable Recipe Card
3-Ingredient Southwest Turkey Wraps
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 3 flour tortillas 10-inch
- 12 turkey breast slices or any other deli meat
- 1 Southwest salad kit
Instructions
- Prep the filling. In a large mixing bowl toss together the contents of the Southwest salad kit (salad greens, dressing, cheese, and crunchy toppings). Mix until evenly combined and coated in dressing.
- Assemble the wraps. Lay the tortilla on a cutting board or even surface. Add 4 slices of turkey breast on the tortilla like shown in the picture.
- Spoon a generous amount of the Southwest salad mixture into the center of the tortilla on top of the turkey slices. Spread evenly, making sure to leave about 1-inch clear from the edges.
- Roll up the wrap. Fold in the left and right edge of the tortilla towards the center. Then, starting at the bottom edge, roll the wrap upwards. See the step by step instructions above for a quick video on how to fold a wrap.
- Serve & enjoy! Slice in half before serving.
Notes
- I used 4 turkey slices per wrap, but you can use more or less depending on your preference.
- Making a nice, tight, neat wrap can take a little bit of practice! Try warming up the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave before assembling which can make it a little easier to roll and fold. Make sure to check out the video on how to fold a wrap above!
- If you have any leftover veggies in the fridge, feel free to add it to these wraps!
- I recommend eating these wraps right away for maximum freshness. But you can definitely meal prep and store these wraps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Wrap it up in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before storing in the fridge.
