WRAP IT UP!
Easy Wrap Sandwiches for Lunchboxes
Wrap sandwiches first burst upon the lunch scene about 10 years ago. These sandwiches are variations of traditional sandwiches; but the bread is different. Any type of flat bread is spread with a hot or cold sandwich filling, rolled up, and eaten out of hand.
For the wrap, you can use flavored tortillas, cracker bread, rice paper wrappers, cooled crepes, split pita breads, and for low carb eaters, sturdy lettuce leaves. Wraps are a great way to give leftovers new life.
Use your imagination and your favorite ingredients for variations on these easy recipes, and enjoy.
