Wrap Recipes - Healthy Fillings for Wraps
If you’re tired of sandwiches, then opt for one of our wrap recipes. But what is a wrap? Wraps are really just sandwiches made out of flat bread and can be made with almost any sandwich filling. But because the ingredients are enclosed in the bread you can pack a little more into a wrap.
You can also experiment a little more with flavors. Think outside the box and try mixing and matching different breads, ingredients, and spreads. Remember, almost anything can go into a wrap.

How to Make a Wrap
Have you ever made a wrap only to have it fall apart after the first bite? Here are some tips to avoid any disasters:
THE most important tip: Don’t overfill the wrap with ingredients. This is the biggest mistake most people make.
Warm tortillas in an ungreased pan for one minute each side.
Spread sauce or mayonnaise in a circle in the center.
Spread a small amount of filling down the middle.
Fold both sides of the wrap over the strip of filling towards the center.
Fold the bottom edge up over the filling. Keep rolling the tortilla up the rest of the way, finishing with the seam side down.
Cut the tortilla in half diagonally.
