Sandwiches. Sure they are great, but they can get boring, especially if it’s the same thing repeatedly. So why not switch to a wrap?
A wrap can be rolled up with anything you desire for a fantastic lunch. Or even dinner.
They are versatile and easily packed for work or school lunches. They fit into a lunch box or brown bag and can be stuffed with meat, veggies, or anything you want!
1. Chicken Shawarma
Shawarma is a Middle Eastern way of cooking slices of meat. Pieces of meat are stacked on a vertical spit and rotated in front of the heat source.
As the outside meat is cooked, it is then thinly shaved off, and the result is juicy and tasty meat.
This recipe is a bit different from Shawarma, but the general concept is the same. It has the same flavor and tenderness as the Middle Eastern recipe. Our recipe, like Shawarma, is served with veggies tucked into a pita wrap.

2. Lemon Chicken Wraps
Yummy! Chicken flatbread wrap with a lemon kick. Yes, please. Using charred lemony pieces of chicken, flatbread, and Sriracha sauce, it’s easy to understand why this looks so good.
But if you don’t have the time to marinate the chicken (or don’t want to), you can season it with Italian spices, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

3. Beef and Cheese Wraps
These delicious wraps are ideal for a picnic or any on-the-go lunch. They work great for school lunches as well.
You can quickly put them together in the morning. Just pre-shred the carrots the night before or buy pre-shredded carrots, and it’s easy peasy.
They also make a great meal to bring to any party as they are sure to be a hit.
4. Classic BLT Sandwich Wrap
The BLT wrap is an easy favorite among most of us. You can make them ahead of time, and they travel well in an insulated lunch box.
They are also fantastic for a quick at-home meal. If you use bacon that is precooked, you can cut your time in half. You may have most of these items on hand already, and you can certainly add to them!

6. French Provencal Wrap
Bring this into work, and your co-workers will ask for the recipe. You can easily use store-bought rotisserie chicken for this. Pack it with spinach, goat cheese, and mustard sauce, and anything else you would like.
Provencal is very flavorful mustard made with dijon and red peppers. The best part is, there are almost no calories in it!
You can sub out the chicken for steak in this recipe, or if you are meat-free, add a portobello mushroom and or some tofu, and you have it made.
