30 Wrap Recipes to Bring Your Lunch Game to the Next Level
Danielle Occhiogrosso Daly

You know packing your own lunch can save you some serious cash (over $500 a year!) — but the thought of eating the same salads, sandwiches, and soups every day can lead anyone to the nearest drive-thru. Don’t get stuck in a meal prepping rut, and you won't even think about hitting up the office cafeteria. How? Refresh your lunch routine by adding a few wraps into the weekly rotation. These wrap recipes make the most of bold flavors and seasonal ingredients — and are easy to transport, too! (Pro tip: Spread sauces and condiments between the fillings, not on the wraps themselves, to keep wraps from getting soggy).

Whether you’re brainstorming ways to fill spinach, whole wheat, or gluten-free wraps (like these cheesy ones!), deciding between chicken wrap recipes, vegetarian wrap recipes or classic tortilla wrap recipes, we’ve got ideas for you. We’re sharing our favorite burritos, gyros, and lettuce wraps, as well as different ways to incorporate Southwestern, Italian, and Vietnamese flavors into your midday meal. There are good-for-you wraps packed with key nutrients (yes, wraps can be healthy!), and crazy-indulgent options for the days you want to just treat yourself. Because Mondays don't seem so bad (and take-out is way less tempting) if you have a Buffalo Chicken Salad Wrap to look forward to.
