Storage Tips

If you’re making these wraps ahead of time, storing them properly is crucial to maintain freshness. Wrap each individually in plastic wrap or foil to keep them from drying out and to help them hold their shape. Place wrapped wraps in an airtight container in the fridge if you plan to enjoy them within a couple of days.

For longer storage, consider freezing the wraps. Just be sure to leave out any fresh veggies that may not freeze well, such as cucumbers and tomatoes. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving, and you’ll have a quick meal ready for those busy days.

Serving Suggestions

This wrap pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a crisp salad for a well-rounded meal. Consider serving it with carrot sticks, apple slices, or a small bowl of mixed berries to add a touch of sweetness and color to your lunch plate. This not only enhances the nutritional value but also makes your meal visually appealing.

For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, a handful of tortilla chips or a side of baked pita chips can complement the wrap nicely. A simple dipping sauce like salsa or guacamole can also add a fun twist, bringing an extra layer of flavor to your lunch experience.
