This is a simple recipe I used to make in college. I still make it for a quick dinner, but it would also be a great gluten-free lunch. I think the flavors go well with a brown rice tortilla. I am including this simple recipe because when I first went gluten-free it was so hard to find good lunch ideas. My co-workers used to tease me about the amount of rice and salad I ate for lunch. Here is a great alternative!
TURKEY PESTO WRAPS
Brown Rice Tortillas (I used Food for Life’s brand, yum!)
Cream Cheese
Basil Pesto or your favorite pesto - If you want to make your own pesto, here is a simple recipe from Martha Stewart: BASIL PESTO
Shaved Turkey meat
Avocado
Sprouts (optional)
Directions:
Spread the cream cheese and the basil pesto on the tortilla. Layer the turkey, avocados, and sprouts. Wrap and enjoy!

Looks great.. I love the Food for Life ones too. They are the best.
I appreciate you naming brand names! Sometimes it is an issue of taste and other times an issue of trust!
My secret “college life” recipe was a corn tortilla, cream cheese (with dill of course), pastrami and fresh basil. I loved it! Obviously that was before I became a vegetarian. It was good, though!
I’m thinking your recipe would be yummy with tofu, maybe lightly fried tofu slices seasoned with dill and onion powder… Add some tomato and there you have it! Avocado is the best, I love it with cream cheese. You know what else would be good? Flexitarians (aka wimpy vegetarians) that do seafood, could substitute smoked salmon… That sounds dangerously tasty. Thanks for the inspiration!

Seamaiden- You are going to have to turn me into a tofu lover- I just can’t stand the texture. Maybe I dont know how to cook it? I am going to have to try one of your tofu recipes for my sister who is a flexitarian. lol I am going to have to tease her. I just saw that term the other day and wondered what it meant!
[...] Rice Tortillas do the trick as long as I microwave the tortilla until warm. Here is my recipe for Turkey Pesto wraps. If you just don’t like them, try Book of Yum’s brilliant trick of broiling GF [...]
