Wraps Are Great For Your Family BY JULIE

For a lunch on the go, to pack for a picnic or just as a change from the typical sandwich, wraps can’t be beat. And with all of the flavored wraps now available, building the wrap of your dreams is easier than ever. Fillings as easy as peanut butter and jelly and as complicated as a club sandwich can all be made into wraps. In fact, almost any sandwich or salad you can imagine can be made more portable and a little healthier served on a tortilla instead of on bread or in a bowl. Wraps are particularly well suited to fillings that would drip out of two pieces of bread, or that tend to be soggy. The folded end keeps all of the fillings contained in your wrap instead of on your shirt or lap. This makes wraps wonderful for kids, lunches eaten in the car or really anytime that it’s just too inconvenient to eat messy food – like a first date, before a job interview or on an airplane.

While a wrap is essentially a tortilla, today’s wraps have evolved far beyond the doughy flour tortillas we associate with burritos. Wraps can now be found in whole wheat, tomato basil, jalapeno, spinach, garlic herb and chipotle chili flavors in nearly every grocery stores in American, which means there is a perfect wrap for any filling you can stuff inside.

Here are some great wrap ideas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Wrap one up today!
