How to cook Turkey and Cheese Wraps?

On one half of each tortilla, layer two slices of turkey, one slice of cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of cherry tomatoes, and a few slices of red onion.

Season the fillings with a pinch of salt and pepper. Tightly roll up each tortilla, starting from the filled side, to create a snug wrap.
