  • Wrap It Up: Carefully roll the tortilla from one end to the other, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the fillings inside.

Key Prep Tips

  1. Use High-Protein Wraps: Opt for whole-grain or high-protein tortillas for an extra boost of nutrients.
  2. Layer Strategically: Start with a base of spread (like hummus, Greek yogurt, or mustard) to keep the wrap moist and hold the fillings together.
  3. Balance Ingredients: Include a mix of protein (like chicken, tofu, or beans), fresh veggies, and optional cheese for a well-rounded wrap.
  4. Wrap Tightly: Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly to prevent spillage and make it easy to eat on the go.

Suggested Variations

  • Protein Options: Use grilled chicken, turkey, smoked salmon, tofu, hard-boiled eggs, or black beans.
  • Veggie Additions: Include shredded carrots, spinach, cucumbers, bell peppers, or avocado slices for a fresh crunch.
  • Spice It Up: Add a drizzle of hot sauce, chipotle mayo, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Low-Carb Alternative: Use lettuce leaves or collard greens as the wrap base instead of tortillas.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Quick Meal: Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad.
  • For Meal Prep: Make wraps ahead of time, wrap tightly in foil, and store in the fridge for easy grab-and-go meals throughout the week.
  • Beverages: Pair with a refreshing iced tea, smoothie, or infused water.
  • Presentation: Slice the wrap in half at an angle and serve with a small bowl of dipping sauce for an elevated touch.
