Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C). Wrap the large flour tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven for about 10 minutes to soften. This will help make them easier to roll. Alternatively, microwave each tortilla for about 10 seconds until warm.
2
In a small bowl, mix together the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce until well combined to create a creamy dipping sauce.
3
On a clean, flat surface, lay out one warm tortilla at a time. Spread a spoonful of the ranch-barbecue sauce on half of the tortilla, leaving some sauce for serving later.
4
Layer the following ingredients on top of the sauce: a handful of thinly sliced iceberg lettuce, a handful of quartered cherry tomatoes, a generous amount of grated Monterey Jack pepper cheese, thinly sliced avocado, chopped black olives, and chopped red bell pepper.
5
Finish with a layer of thinly sliced smoked turkey or buffalo-style turkey.
6
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and start rolling from the end with the filling, tucking in the ingredients as you go to secure everything inside.
7
Once rolled, use a sharp serrated knife to slice each wrap in half at a diagonal angle. Serve the wraps with the remaining sauce in a bowl for dipping.
