Turkey Wrap Disappointment

So, I wanted a turkey wrap for lunch. But if I wanted my end of day treat AND the dinner I had planned, I was going to have to do some skimping somewhere.
What to do; what to do?
Oh well, the flour tortilla is too small for a wrap
I guess I will just fold it over.
Not enough calories for mayo
Oh well, the tomato slices will add some moisture.
Might as well warm the tortilla the way the package says.
Some turkey
Some fancy lettuces
Some tomato slices
A slightly crisp flour tortilla
DANG!!!
This is freaking awesome tasting!
I am definitely putting this on the repeat menu.

I'm generally disappointed by turkey wraps.3

try Xtreme Wellness high fiber tortillas at 50 cals each. They are my favorite tortilla now, even when I have space for regular tortillas. They are flexible and pretty strong; wraps don't flake or tear apart. They taste great; sometimes I eat one by itself. I am really amazed by them. I only tried them because I was in extreme low calorie mode at one point and was shocked at how good they are - taste and texture.3

I use salsa on mine to keep the calories down.3
-
i use low fat cream cheese if i don't have the cals for mayo...1
-
I like Laughing Cow Pepper Jack cheese wedges. 35 calories.1
-
Nah... that's just getting started. Spinach, red onion, green pepper, pickled banana peppers, and 1 TB light mayo (35 calories).4

you can always go lettuce wrap instead. with some tortilla strips if you want
cranberries

Not helping with the calories, but the only things that belong in a turkey wrap in my opinion are turkey, bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato

Our family likes those too, but they are hard to find in our area
Off the subject of wraps, but we also love 150 calorie pasta (higher fiber, exact same taste), but I have to stock up because the only store that carries it is 45 minutes away, and I have friends that can't find it at all in their area. I wish the lower-calorie options were more readily available.1 -

I second this. I avoided them for a long time because come on, it's a high fiber wrap. Translation: tree bark. But I eat at least one almost every day now. They're terrific.1 -

It was meant to be tongue in cheek.
When I realized I didn't have the calories to have the wrap I wanted, I was disappointed and resigned to flavorless-ness.
I was quite pleasantly surprised at how tasty the result was.2 -
I just had quite the disappointing wrap myself.
Tortilla
Low Sodium Ham
Cheddar Cheese
Cream Buffalo Spread
It was gross! Never again.1 -

Low sodium ham should not be a thing.2 -

It wouldn't qualify as ham, at that point, would it?3 -

I don't eat mammals anymore, but when I did I didn't even consider boneless ham to be ham. The ham is a body part and it has a bone in it. Another body part kinda sorta similar is not the same thing. Now I am a hypocrite because I eat turkey "ham".0 -

Thanks for turning me on to these.
I found them.
Tried them.
Loved them.
They are now my goto. (I bought all the varieties the store had.)
Do you know if they freeze well?0 -
I make my lettuce wrap from thin cut sandwich meat, thin cut provolone wrapped in a good hearty lettuce leaf.
I then dip it in some sort of a balsamic dressing. Great lunch with a cup of vegetable soup...yummy!0
