Save A creative and delicious way to transform your holiday leftovers into a crispy, satisfying wrap, inspired by the viral tortilla hack.
I love making this wrap after the holidays because it turns leftover turkey and stuffing into something fresh and flavorful.
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.
Save This wrap always brings everyone around the table sharing stories from the holiday feast.

Recipe FAQs
- → How do you fold the tortilla to prevent fillings from spilling?
Make a single cut from the tortilla center to edge, dividing it into four quarters. Layer the ingredients on each quarter and fold sequentially starting at the cut, creating a compact triangular wrap that holds fillings securely.
- → Can different cheeses be used for this wrap?
Yes, mozzarella or Swiss cheese work well, but swap in cheddar or provolone to suit your preference for a different flavor profile.
- → What cooking method ensures a crispy wrap?
Cooking the folded wrap seam-side down in butter or olive oil on medium heat for a few minutes per side until golden brown melts the cheese and crisps the tortilla.
- → Is it possible to make this dish vegetarian-friendly?
Absolutely. Replace turkey with plant-based roast, and use vegetarian stuffing and gravy options for a meat-free version with rich flavors.
- → What are some good side options to serve with this wrap?
Complement the wrap with a fresh side salad or sweet potato fries to balance textures and add nutrients.
