Wrap sandwiches are one of my favorite warm-weather meals. They are generally simple to make and extremely versatile, although I honestly tend to lean toward no-cook fillings for wraps.
Not heating up my kitchen on wildly hot summer afternoons is a permanent goal (quite nearly a state of mind), especially during the month of August!
This easy wrap filled with smoked turkey, hummus and crisp, fresh veggies is one of my favorite summer lunches. I first shared this recipe on my YouTube channel in June of 2024, and it’s still in regular rotation in my house. It’s flavorful, light, and healthful. With all its vibrantly colored ingredients, it’s also very pretty on the plate.
Plus, this veggie-loaded sandwich recipe is a great way to use up some summer garden bounty. You know, if you have a bountiful garden… which I do not at the moment, but I’m thankful our local farmers do!
Last summer we planted and grew zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños. That was an amazing experience, and we had a few good harvests. The zucchini plants really took off, and we honestly had more than we could eat. We happily gave some away to friends and family. We also got a little adventurous and planted sugar baby watermelons. Unfortunately, our resident garden pests took a few bites out of every single one that grew; we never collected any we could eat.
Maybe we will try to plant a few things next spring; it would be great to have homegrown food again and garden-fresh veggies to use in delicious wrap sandwiches like this one.
If you’re new to rolling up sandwiches, it will take a wee bit of practice to get the method just right. But, after a couple of tries, it really becomes much easier to do. Even if your wrap isn’t perfect, it will still be delicious!
The key to success with this wrap sandwich, and any wrap sandwich for that matter, is not to overstuff the tortilla. Wraps are commonly made with layers of ingredients and those layers will certainly add up to quite a stack of stuffing, so it’s best to keep them light. Be sure to slice and dice the veggies very thinly for best results.
I include a full tutorial video below for you in the recipe card below, in it I make one of these veggie-loaded sandwiches for you!

Ingredients
1 large (burrito-size) tortilla
1 generous tablespoon of hummus (any variety), store bought or homemade
2 pieces of thinly sliced deli smoked turkey lunch meat
2 tablespoons shredded lettuce, any variety (I typically use Romaine)
1 tablespoon shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1 generous tablespoon shredded carrot
2 -3 very thin slices of fresh red bell pepper
1 thin slice of tomato, cut in half
1 generous tablespoon of finely diced seedless cucumber
2 thin slices of fresh avocado, optional
1 tablespoon light Italian dressing or vinaigrette, store bought or homemade
Directions
- Lay tortilla on a cutting board or plate. Evenly smear the hummus down the center of the tortilla. Lay the two slices of deli meat slightly offset from the center (refer to tutorial video if necessary).
- Neatly layer the vegetables and cheese in the center of the tortilla (on top of the deli meat) in the order they are written in the ingredients list above: lettuce, cheese, carrot, red bell pepper, tomato, cucumber, and avocado.
- Turn the plate so that the filling side is laying/pointing toward you.
- Fold in the outter edges of the tortilla toward the center, and use your thumbs to fold one half of the tortilla right over the top of the filling. Tuck it under the filling and continue rolling until a wrap is formed. (Please watch the video below for a visual tutorial on how to make a wrap sandwich, if needed). Apply some slight pressure to the top and then transfer the wrap to the serving plate, seam down.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the Turkey, Hummus and Veggie Wrap in half on a slight bias (diagonally). Serve with chips or potato salad and fresh fruit! Enjoy!!

I am a total wrap and sandwich lover. This one is going in my lunch to work.
Thank you, Christie! I hope you enjoy it!!
We really enjoy sandwich wraps, especially when on road trips – we use the lavash bread from Trader Joe. And I love all the ingredients you are using… and, by the way, avocado is never optional! 🙂
Thank you, David!! 🥑💙
