Fully loaded with wonderful fresh vegetables, creamy avocado and savory turkey and bacon, these Lunchbox Easy California Wraps are the perfect solution to lunch!
Back to school has arrived here at our house, and filling lunch boxes take up our mornings and the scramble to get dinner on the table in the evening has reared it’s ugly head.
It’s never been a real comforting time for me.
I absolutely hate rushing and just don’t like not having time to play in my kitchen.
{I’m a foodie, what do you expect?}
I still make fabulous meals, but often we have a time crunch because of school activities or whatever else is going on.
I need to be more prepared and find meals that take less time.
That’s why I love these Lunchbox Easy California Wraps.
Besides stressing about dinner though, filling lunch boxes has been loads of fun.
Everyone likes something different and I feel like my grocery bill goes up when school starts because I have to stock so many different items instead of being able to make healthy homemade lunches.
In our house, wraps are a super popular lunchbox treat.
The teens don’t think the food at school is all that great and wraps can be filled with anything they feel like stuffing inside.
We often make our own flour tortillas even adding flavors to the mix. They are delicious.
Wraps are perfect for us, because with five busy teenagers who all have different taste buds, they can customize their lunch to suit their tastes. I love that!
This one is pretty popular with two of my teenagers who love veggies, but this is my favorite wrap.
I make this all the time for lunch when they are off at school. These Lunchbox Easy California Wraps are the bomb!

Recipe for Lunchbox Easy California Wraps
Lunchbox California Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 Flour Tortillas I used Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil
- ¼ cups avocado thinly sliced
- 2 strips cooked bacon
- 2 slices Deli Turkey
- 2 slices cheese
- ½ small tomato thinly sliced
- â…• cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoons mayo
- 1 piece lettuce shredded
Instructions
- Lay your flour tortilla out on a flat surface.
- If you’re using guacamole spread your guacamole across the whole tortilla. (if you’re using avocado that comes in a moment)
- If you’re not using guacamole, start with this step. Add your strips of bacon. You can cut them up if you want, I just use them whole. I cross them into an X.
- Layer your pieces of turkey across the entire tortilla.
- Add your cheese, tomato, lettuce and cucumber slices.
- If you didn’t use guacamole, add the avocado now. If you did use guacamole and you want to add some mayo – add that now.
- Roll it all up and secure with a toothpick in several spots to hold it together. Wrap up in some parchment paper or place in a baggie and pack in a lunch box, or just eat immediately. Nice and totally healthy if you leave off the bacon but who wants to do that? It’s bacon!
What a nice wrap! I could eat it every day. Love turkey and with all those yummy ingredients.
