It’s a Wrap

I seem to spend a lot of time posting about school lunch for kids and teachers. It is not because I enjoy packing lunch. In fact, it is the opposite. I dread making school lunches. Currently, I have TheRoomDad on lunch packing duty, and my mornings are much more efficient and stress free.

One favorite lunch staple at TheRoomMom’s house is the classic wrap sandwich. I made them a few times last year for Miss Priss’ kindergarten snack duty. I like them because they can be made the night before, and they do not get soggy in the refrigerator overnight. We stuff with a variety of fillings to satisfy adult and child eaters, and they are not too unhealthy.

Ingredients

• large flour tortillas
• thinly sliced turkey, ham, salami or whatever deli meat you prefer
• cream cheese, softened
• shredded lettuce (optional)
• grated carrots (optional)
• red pepper strips (optional)

Directions

• Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one side of a tortilla. Cover the entire surface.
• Cover the cream cheese with a layer of your deli meat of choice.
• Near one edge of the tortilla, sprinkle a line of lettuce, carrot, red pepper strips, or whatever veggies you choose to use.
• From the end with the sliced vegetables, roll the tortilla.
• Slice into 5 pieces. (I discard the ends– and by discard, I mean TheRoomDad eats them.)
