Sandwich Wraps

“You have to learn to pace yourself.  Pressure. You're just like everybody else.  Pressure.”  So why did I begin the school year with a new lunch item on day 1?  The kids are not even tired of the same old, same old yet.  There hasn’t been any complaining… yet.  Start out with a bang.  Set the bar high.  Oh, the pressure.


Sandwich Wraps

Andrew is not much of a sandwich kid.  Everyone seems to like anything wrapped in a tortilla.  Perhaps this was my own science experiment.  If it looks like a tortilla and less like a sandwich, would they eat it?  Some suggestions here and there for tweaks, but all in all a keeper in the lunch box recipe file.  Adjust the ingredients to suit the tastes of your little people.



Turkey wrap assembly

Turkey and Avocado

Ingredients:

1.      California Lavash, original or wheat (found it at Whole Foods)

2.      Honey maple turkey

3.      Cheese slices, like Mozzarella or Provolone

4.      Avocado or guacamole

5.      Yellow mustard

Place a slice of the lavash on a cutting board.  Layer the ingredients.  Remember that it will get pretty thick as you roll it – meaning, I used 2-4 slices of turkey and 2 slices of cheese on each slice of lavash (1-2 turkey and 1 cheese on the top half; 1-2 turkey and 1 cheese on the bottom half).  Once rolled, I cut the lavash in half and give one half to each kid.  I also did not center the ingredients on the lavash but right-justified them on the lavash (see assembly pictures).

Chicken wrap assembly

Mexican Chicken   

Ingredients:

1.      California Lavash, original or wheat (found it at Whole Foods)

2.      Chicken, like roasted, rotisserie or grilled chicken

3.      Shredded cheese, like Mexican or Four Cheese

4.      Avocado or guacamole

5.      Picante sauce

Same assembly instructions as above.  Place a slice of the lavash on a cutting board.  Layer the ingredients.  Roll.  Slice.  Enjoy.
