Save to Pinterest A creative and delicious way to transform your holiday leftovers into a crispy, satisfying wrap inspired by the viral tortilla hack.
I love making these wraps because they help reduce food waste while turning leftovers into something new and exciting.
Ingredients
- Leftovers: 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded or sliced, 1 cup stuffing (herb or sausage as preferred), 1/2 cup cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup gravy (optional for dipping or drizzling)
- Dairy: 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
- Wraps: 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- For cooking: 2 teaspoons butter or olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Using a knife, cut a single straight line from the center of the tortilla outwards to the edge (only one cut).
- Step 2:
- Visualize the tortilla as four quarters. On the first quarter, place half of the turkey. On the second quarter, evenly spread half of the stuffing. On the third quarter, add half of the cranberry sauce. On the fourth quarter, sprinkle half of the cheese.
- Step 3:
- Starting with the cut, fold the first quarter over the second, then the third, then the fourth, creating a layered, triangle-shaped wrap.
- Step 4:
- Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
- Step 5:
- Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Step 6:
- Serve warm, with gravy on the side for dipping if desired.

Recipe FAQs
- → How do I assemble the wrap correctly?
Cut the tortilla from the center to the edge to create four quarters. Layer turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and cheese on each quarter, then fold sequentially to form a triangle.
- → What type of cheese works best?
Shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese melt well, but cheddar or provolone are great alternatives for richer flavors.
- → Can this wrap be made vegetarian?
Yes, substitute turkey with plant-based roast and use vegetarian stuffing and gravy options for a meat-free version.
- → What cooking fats can I use?
Butter adds rich flavor, while olive oil offers a lighter option for frying the wraps until golden and crispy.
- → Are there suggestions for extra ingredients?
Adding sautéed greens or leftover roasted vegetables can enhance texture and nutrition without overpowering the wrap.
