How to Make a Wrap
I have been making wraps for my son’s lunch box for years and they are easy, delicious and nutritious. There is really no limit to the variety of cheeses, meats, vegetables and spreads that you can put into a wrap, but there are some basic wrap rules to follow.
- Choose a pliable tortilla or other flat bread as the canvas.
- Spread “glue” on the canvas in the form of mustard, mayonnaise, hummus or any type of spread.
- Layer on the ingredients starting with the hardest to control, like shredded cheese.
- Avoid wet or soggy ingredients.
- Don't overfill.
- Roll tightly and firmly and cut into two or more pieces on the diagonal.
A very basic but satisfying wrap for easing back into the school/work week.
Ingredients:
- Trader Joe’s whole wheat tortillas
- Nayonnaise or Trader Joe’s mayonnaise (mix in some mustard if you child likes it)
- Trader Joe’s shredded three cheese blend
- Applegate Farms sliced herb turkey breast (no antibiotics or nitrities from Trader Joe’s)
- Trader Joe’s organic salad mix
Please tortilla on cutting board and spread a thin layer of Nayonnaise/mayo/mustard on entire surface. Sprinkle a handful of cheese across 2/3 of the surface, leaving last third empty. Layer on two slices of turkey breast on the third closest to you, then pile on a heaping handful of salad greens on top of the turkey and begin to roll the sandwich up using both hands and making sure to roll it tightly and tuck any stray ingredients back in. Cut on the diagonal and store for lunch.
