Forget the bread and make your child’s lunch more interesting by rolling up a favorite sandwich filling instead. Flour tortillas can be used just like bread for making delicious lunch time meals. For variety use flavored tortillas.

To make your tortillas more pliable simply microwave for 10 seconds (longer if frozen). Position your filling on ½ of

the tortilla. Roll up starting at filling side first. Fold over and tuck the tortilla around and under the filling. Fold sides in and continue rolling up. You can then cut the roll up in half, serve whole in burrito style or slice into 1-inch pieces.

Following are eight of my favorite recipes for sandwich wraps.
