Instructions
1
Prepare the dressing by combining canola oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, toss together salad greens, crumbled cheese, and sliced red onions. Drizzle the reserved dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
3
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. If using roasted turkey, place 2 slices on each tortilla.
4
Divide the salad mixture evenly among the tortillas, layering it directly on top of the turkey if used. Add 2 slices of avocado on each wrap.
5
Carefully roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. If desired, grill each wrap on a preheated grill or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until warm and slightly crispy.
6
Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.
