Wrap Sandwiches

Now, if you’ve never made a wrap sandwich before, let me give you a quick heads-up: wrapping them takes a little practice. The first time I tried, I overfilled my tortilla, rolled too loosely, and ended up with a burrito explosion all over my plate. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll be wrapping with confidence in no time!

Whether you’re a wrap rookie or a seasoned sandwich architect, this guide will give you plenty of inspiration to build your next masterpiece. Let’s get rolling!

Why Wrap Sandwiches Are the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

Before we dive into specific recipes, let’s talk about why wraps deserve their moment in the sandwich spotlight:

✔ They’re portable – Unlike their loaf-bread counterparts, wraps hold everything together with no fear of falling apart mid-bite. Perfect for lunchboxes, road trips, and messy eaters!

✔ They’re customizable – Low-carb? Gluten-free? Protein-packed? You can make a wrap to fit *any* dietary preference.  

✔ They let you mix it up – Bread is great, but wraps let you incorporate flavors and textures you wouldn’t normally use in a sandwich.  

They’re fun to eat – Who doesn’t love a sandwich in burrito form?

With that in mind, let’s explore some wrap sandwich ideas that will make you want to ditch sliced bread for good.  

Wrap Sandwich Inspiration Station

We’re just getting started with our wrap sandwich collection, but here are some ideas to get your creativity flowing:  

• Barbecue Beef Wrap  

This wrap turns leftover roast beef into something mouthwateringly good. Toss it with barbecue sauce, add a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese, and pile on some shredded broccoli for crunch. Wrap it all up in a flour tortilla, and you’ve got yourself a flavor-packed meal.  

• Chicken Caesar Wrap  

Everything you love about a Caesar salad—now wrapped up and ready to eat with one hand! Fill a flour tortilla with grilled chicken breast slices, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.  

• Turkey Avocado Wrap  

This one’s light, refreshing, and packed with goodness. Layer sliced turkey breast, avocado slices, lettuce, and tomato slices inside a whole wheat tortilla with a swipe of mayonnaise for extra creaminess.  

• Buffalo Chicken Wrap  

Spice lovers, this one’s for you! Take grilled or fried chicken strips, toss them in Buffalo sauce, and add some lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch or blue cheese dressing inside a flour tortilla.  

• Hummus and Veggie Wrap  

Need a plant-based option? Spread hummus over a whole grain tortilla, then add sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, bell pepper strips, and spinach leaves. Simple, fresh, and totally delicious.

• BLT Wrap  

A handheld version of the classic BLT. Wrap crispy bacon strips, lettuce, tomato slices, and mayonnaise inside a flour tortilla.  

• Tuna Salad Wrap  

Skip the bread and make a wrap filled with tuna salad (tuna, mayonnaise, celery, and onion), lettuce, and tomato slices inside a whole wheat tortilla.

• Southwest Chicken Wrap  

Tex-Mex flavors shine here. Toss grilled chicken breast slices with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, and chipotle ranch dressing inside a spinach tortilla.  

• Greek Salad Wrap  

If you love Mediterranean flavors, you’ll adore this one. Pack a whole wheat tortilla with feta cheese, Kalamata olives, cucumber slices, red onion slices, tomato slices, lettuce, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

•  Steak and Cheese Wrap  

Make a mini Philly cheesesteak in wrap form! Take grilled steak slices, sautéed onions and bell peppers, provolone cheese, and a swipe of mayonnaise, and roll them into a flour tortilla.  

•  Roast Beef and Cheddar Wrap  

A wrap made for meat lovers! Fill a spinach tortilla with sliced roast beef, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, and horseradish sauce for an extra kick.

 The Art of Wrapping Like a Pro  

If you’re new to making wraps, don’t worry—here are a few tricks to help you perfect your technique:  

✔ Don’t overfill – It’s tempting to load up your wrap, but too much filling makes rolling impossible! Keep it balanced so the tortilla can hold everything together.  

✔ Fold, tuck, roll – Fold in the sides first, then tuck the filling in as you roll forward, creating a tight wrap.  

✔ Use the right tortilla – Large tortillas (about 10–12 inches) work best. Whole wheat, spinach, or flour tortillas are all great options!  

✔ Seal with heat – If you want extra security, lightly toast your wrap in a pan for a few seconds to keep the edges sealed.

The first one was so full of ingredients that I wanted to add it because I didn't think he would be able to wrap it up - but he did. Even if you don't like the ingredients in the following wraps, I'm sure the method will help when you make up your own.

The second video shows a pocket-type wrap where everything's inside. How to Wrap a Tortilla by Save the Tortillas. Pretty cool.
