Ingredients

For the Zucchini “Bread” Base

1 Zucchini medium
¾ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Wrap and Filling

1-2 teaspoons Avocado Mayo
2-3 slices Smoked turkey or any deli meat
Heirloom tomato slices
Arugula a handful
Basil leaves fresh
Black pepper to taste
sliced avocado for extra creaminess optional

Optional Additions and Variations

Parmesan or almond flour mixed into cheese for a firmer base·
Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or vegan cheese for dairy-free versions
Alternative protein: grilled chicken, tuna, egg,etc.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil. Slice zucchini lengthwise into thin, even strips (about 4 slices across).
Arrange them on the parchment, slightly overlapping, about 5–6 rows down, forming a rectangle.
Lightly spray or brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 12 minutes, until just tender and flexible.
Remove from oven and sprinkle ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Return to oven and bake another 8 minutes, then broil on high for 2 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes so the cheesy base firms up into a pliable “wrap.”
On the lower half (long side of the rectangle), spread avocado mayo, then layer smoked turkey, heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, and a sprinkle of black pepper. (Optional: add sliced avocado for extra richness.)
Carefully fold the top half over the filling to form a wrap. Slice in half or enjoy as-is — melty, fresh, and so satisfying.

Notes

Let the zucchini base cool completely to prevent soggy wraps.
Line containers with paper towels to absorb extra moisture.
Rotate proteins and sauces for variety.
Add fresh greens or herbs right before wrapping.
If zucchini is watery, lightly salt and pat dry before baking.
For a firmer texture, mix in parmesan or almond flour with the cheese.
Swap cheeses for flavor or dairy-free options.
Air fryer-friendly: cook smaller bases at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, adding cheese halfway.
