2. Mix the Salad
- In a bowl, combine chopped lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, onions, cheese, and avocado.
- Add a squeeze of lime or a tablespoon of salsa for extra flavor (optional).
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Warm Joseph’s Lavash Bread slightly (10 seconds in microwave or dry skillet) to make it pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt or sour cream down the center.
- Spoon in a generous portion of the turkey taco filling.
- Top with salad mixture and optional salsa/pico de gallo.
- Roll tightly like a burrito: fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up.
4. Serve

- Serve immediately with lime wedges and extra salsa/yogurt for dipping.
❓ FAQs
🥖 What is Joseph’s Lavash Bread?
Joseph’s Lavash is a soft, low-carb flatbread made with flax, oat bran, and whole wheat. It’s pliable and perfect for wraps, pizzas, and roll-ups.
🍗 Can I substitute the ground turkey?
Yes! You can use:
- Ground chicken
- Lean ground beef
- Plant-based meat crumbles
- Shredded rotisserie chicken (just mix with taco seasoning)
🧊 Can I meal prep this?
Absolutely:
- Filling: Store cooked taco turkey in an airtight container (up to 4 days in the fridge).
- Salad: Keep veggies separate until ready to assemble to avoid sogginess.
- Wraps: Assemble fresh to keep the lavash from getting soggy.
🥶 Can I freeze the wraps?
You can freeze just the cooked taco meat. Fully assembled wraps with fresh salad and avocado won’t freeze well.

- Warm the lavash slightly before rolling.
- Don’t overfill.
- Roll gently but firmly, tucking in sides as you go.

Only mildly spicy (depends on your taco seasoning). Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or spicy salsa if you want more heat.
