Wow! Thanks, Kimmie. Lunches like that might cut down on the alarming tendency kids have to dump their packed lunches and eat junk.

As a matter of fact, I'm already thinking about my own back-to-school lunches. I bought a new insulated lunch bag and am on the lookout for low-carb lunch options. I'd be delighted to open my bag and find the filling for that wrap prepared as a sumptuous salad! In fact, a lot of what you posted could very well find its way into my lunch bag. Thanks for some yummy ideas, Kimmie!

Welcome Mez. I've tried the Avocado Wrap and it's truly delightful!

Edited to add:
You could even stack it, like a club sandwich, and grill it on a ridged grill pan and call it "California Tortilla Club". Just add a couple of slices of smoked turkey and voilà!

A question for those who love wraps: I have trouble with them, because the "wrap" itself usually tastes a bit undercooked to me. Do you know of a way to get around that? If I toast the wrap enough to make it palatable, will that make it too stiff to roll? Any suggestions?

I agree, Suzanne. Is the Armenian style flat bread any more palatable? Because of the pastiness, I prefer tortilla-based foods to be cooked (nuked or baked).
