Southwest Turkey Wrap Recipe for School Lunch or Work!

This Southwest Turkey Wrap is the perfect sandwich alternative for school or work! Our recipe includes a delicious homemade southwest sauce.

We all know that packing our own (or spouse’s) lunch for work each day or kids’ lunches for school is a great way to save a LOT of money over the course of the year vs. buying a lunch every day.

But, after a while the same ‘ol peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese sandwiches can get pretty boring.

We’re trying to find some fun new additions to the lunch box routine before back-to-school rolls around. (It will be here before you know it!)

This Southwest Turkey Wrap recipe with a tangy homemade sauce is a great way to spice things up a bit. If you don’t like things spicy, you can leave out the chipotle chile and it will still be very tasty!

Another option is to use leftover turkey instead of sliced from a package or from the deli. It’s a great way to use up those leftovers! The day after Thanksgiving can be a whole lot fresher with this fun twist.
