Hi everyone! Happiest of Wednesdays. My day started with a 5:30 a.m. wake up call to teach my 6 a.m. hot vinyasa class at Charlotte Yoga. It was a SERIOUS struggle to get out of bed this morning (the time change is kicking my butt in the mornings) but the second I started class I felt so happy to be in the room teaching. It is the very best way to wake up. It is so energizing to see a roomful of yogis who also got up early and chose to start their days on their mats.
Guess what I finally did?
After probably a solid year of promising a post on how I make my homemade pressed wraps, I actually put together a tutorial! I’ve got step-by-step photos and instructions for you along with a Pin-able graphic.
Step One: Place your wrap flat on a cutting board, horizontal orientation. I prefer ALDI wraps or FlatOut brand.
Step Two: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the wrap from edge to edge. I also drizzle a little bit of honey and swirl it in. This could also be mayo, hummus or the spread of your choice.
Step Three: Place halved avocado slices across the center of the wrap.
Step Four: Layer protein and cheese of choice over the avocado. This is roasted chicken and smoked gouda.
Step Five: Roll the wrap horizontally. As you roll the wrap away from you, kind of pull the toppings in towards you to get a tighter wrap. The spread will help it stick together.
Step Six: Place the wrap seam side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Seam side down first is important because it will help the wrap stay together when you flip it over.
Step Seven: Place something heavy on top of the wrap. I use a grill press but if you don’t have one just use a heavy pot. Cook the wrap 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese is melted. This is where medium heat is important. You want the wrap to warm all the way through and the cheese to melt before the outside gets overly browned or too crunchy.
Step Eight: Place the wrap on a cutting board and cut in half.
Step Nine: Eat it!
Tip: I like to serve these wraps with my homemade Greek Yogurt Honey Mustard. It’s very tasty for dipping!
And here is the Pin-able graphic:
Happy wrapping!
What is your favorite wrap combo? My go to is honey mustard, avocado, turkey or chicken and cheese. Simple and so good!
I love tomato, basil, and mozzarella wraps. Yum! I will have to try the honey mustard combo though.
Yumm! Can’t wait to make this. Thanks for sharing!
this looks so good. love the idea of a pressed wrap.
Black beans, eggs, avocado, salsa, spinach!
YUM! can’t go wrong with the egg combo!
Delicious! Your photos are very well done. May I ask what type of camera you use? I’ve been researching and haven’t been able to come to a conclusion.
nikon d3100 DSLR with a 50 mm lens. love it!
YUM! Thank you for sharing..I’ve been eagerly waiting for your wrap tutorial! I’ll have to give it a try ASAP. My favourite is pretty much the same! I add some tomatoes the odd time.
Honey mustard, avocado, & turkey sounds like the perfect combo! Just pinned the tutorial 🙂
Made these for my husband for dinner and he loved them and wants them again. I used honey mustard/mayo, avocado, kalamata olives, roasted peppers, salami and Havarti. Thanks!
also, just used plain flour tortillas and worked fine.
I have a wrap like that almost every day! I love Dijon, avocado, basil, romaine, and turkey.
You had me at gouda + avocado 🙂 This looks so tasty. I also LOVE Flatout wraps. So delicious.
DELISH! Thanks! This is so much better than the way I have been trying to make them-so glad you told us to put something heavy on the wrap. I like Brie, turkey and cranberry.
I love the concept of the pressed wrap! Adds another layer of flavor. I would do one with hummus, cheese, edamame and veggies!
oh thanks for the step by step Jen. This wrap looks delish! I know it will quickly become our new go to way to make wraps because who doesn’t want melty cheese!! Pinning!
I just drooled all over my desk! Thanks for this post!
Yummy! Did u already announce the winners for the contest?
yesssss, please!!!
Have you posted your greek yogurt honey mustard before? Would love the recipe!
Yes and I linked to it in this post!
Thanks for the tutorial! I made a pressed wrap yesterday, it was delicious and looked almost as pretty as your wrap. Love having a new lunch option!
I have made these wrap-inis twice for lunch this week and they were amazingly good 🙂 Thanks for the great tutorial!
