Turkey and Ranch Club Wraps

Turkey and ranch club wraps became my lifesaver for quick lunches when summer camp started and hungry kids gathered at my kitchen counter. These wraps are loaded with fresh savory layers and deliver deli-shop flavor in less than fifteen minutes.

I first threw this together for a family picnic after forgetting the sandwich bread but my kids declared these wraps even better. It is now my most requested packed lunch.

Ingredients

• Large flour tortillas: These hold everything together and are easy to roll Look for soft fresh tortillas for best texture
• Ranch dressing: Creamy and tangy this brings all the flavors together Choose your favorite brand or homemade
• Bacon: Precooked adds smoky crunch Save time with pre-cooked real bacon
• Turkey deli meat: Thinly sliced for easy layering Go for freshly sliced at the deli counter if possible
• American or Mozzarella cheese: Smooth and melty for a classic club taste Both melt nicely at room temperature in the wrap
• Tomatoes: Sliced for juicy freshness Choose ripe tomatoes for maximum flavor
• Romaine lettuce: Crisp crunch and makes the wrap sturdy Look for bright green leaves

Step-by-Step Instructions

Lay Out the Tortillas:

Place each flour tortilla on a clean flat surface so it is easy to layer everything inside

Spread the Ranch Dressing:

Using a spoon spread two to three tablespoons of ranch evenly over each tortilla to cover Most of the flavor is in this step

Layer the Turkey:

Lay four slices of turkey breast evenly across the ranch covered tortilla Make sure the edges get some turkey for every bite

Add the Bacon:

Put two slices of pre-cooked bacon right on top of the turkey Try to spread them so there is crunch in each section of the wrap

Top with Cheese:

Place one slice of American or Mozzarella cheese in the center This helps the other fillings stay together as you roll

Add Lettuce and Tomato:

Lay one or two crisp leaves of Romaine across the cheese Layer tomato slices on top for freshness and juiciness

Fold and Roll the Wrap:

Tuck the left and right edges of the tortilla inward over the fillings to help hold them all inside Then roll the whole thing up from the bottom keeping it tight but not too tight so it stays together

Slice or Serve Whole:

Cut the rolled wrap in half if you like or serve it as a whole wrap They are hands on friendly either way

I love the way the ranch dressing turns an ordinary wrap into something everyone gets excited about My youngest always wants to add extra tomato and I always sneak an extra slice of bacon for crunch
