Delish Wrap Recipes We Can't Stop Eating | Ambitious Kitchen (2024)

Ever since Abra and I tried a bunch of delicious sandwiches and salads in Chicago, I’ve been on a big lunch kick. One of my go-to’s lately has been to literally add anything and everything to a wrap — salads, leftovers from dinner, a random mix of protein & veggies, you name it, it’s perfect for rolling up into your fav tortilla.

I put together our absolute favorite wrap recipes from over the years, plus tons of bonus recipes and salads that make the perfect lunch wraps! In this round up you’ll find salad wraps, chicken wraps, and plenty of vegetarian wraps, plus fresh & delicious salad recipes that you can easily fold into a tortilla. I’ve also sprinkled in some yummy, easy main dishes that are great for repurposing as a lunch wrap — just fold them up and go!

Customize your wraps

These sandwich wrap recipes are perfect for customizing. As always, be sure to check out the full recipes for all of our recommended ingredient swaps, but in general:

Feel free to use a spinach wrap, regular flour tortilla, a lettuce or collard wrap, or even a grain free tortilla to wrap up all the goods.
Use whatever veggies you have on hand to bulk up your wraps.
Easily choose your favorite proteins for each wrap. Chickpeas are a great swap for chicken, and vice-versa!
Drizzle and dip with extra sauces & dressings. My homemade recipes are a great place to start.

Tips for rolling up wraps

With a few key tips you’ll have the perfect lunch wrap in no time:

Be sure not to overfill your wrap, otherwise, it will be very hard to roll up and may even break. If you like a lot of filling, try using a burrito-sized tortilla!
Fold the ends in as you go so that the filling stays tightly rolled into the tortilla.
Feel free to secure your full wrap or halves with a toothpick so that it stays in tact!

Make them ahead of time

You can easily make the filling for these wrap recipes ahead of time, then wrap them into your favorite tortilla the next day! They’re the perfect meal prep lunch option because they’re portable and won’t fall apart like regular sandwiches tend to do. As

I hope you love these incredibly delish, healthy wrap recipes! If you make any of them, or if you add any of the bonus recipes to a wrap, be sure to leave a comment & rating on the recipe so I know how you liked it. Enjoy!
