Ingredients
Scale
Spread & Sauce
- â…“ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp pesto
- â…“ cup apple butter
Wrap Filling
- 7 soft taco flour tortillas
- 1â…“ lb leftover turkey, sliced (approximately 3 ounces per wrap)
- 7 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 14 slices cooked bacon
- 1 (4-oz) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
Instructions
- Prepare Pesto Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined to create a flavorful spread.
- Assemble Wrap Base: Lay out a soft taco flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of apple butter down the middle, adding a sweet contrast to the savory ingredients.
- Add Cheese and Turkey: Place one slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the apple butter, then add approximately 3 ounces of leftover sliced turkey over the cheese.
- Add Vegetables and Bacon: Top the turkey with a few thin slices of onion, 2 slices of cooked bacon, drained mushroom slices, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of the prepared pesto mayonnaise for extra flavor.
- Fold and Grill: Fold the edges of the tortilla toward the center to enclose the fillings, then place the wrap on a preheated panini press. Grill until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the press and serve warm with a side of spicy honey mustard for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the taco flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
- Leftover turkey can be replaced with cooked chicken or turkey breast.
- Make sure the mushrooms are well drained to avoid sogginess in the wrap.
- The wraps are best served immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and crispy tortilla.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey and bacon and add extra mushrooms or grilled vegetables.
- Spicy honey mustard can be bought pre-made or mixed using Dijon mustard, honey, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
