Winning Wrap Recipes That Are Just Right for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner

Call them a 1990s trend, a riff on a burrito, or a Tex-Mex-inspired sandwich—whatever the description, wraps can be absolutely delicious. While just about anything can be tucked inside a tortilla, rolled up and eaten as a meal, each of the recipes in this collection have a little something extra going for them. In some cases, it's a special ingredient that sets them apart; in others, it's a unique a technique or flavor combination that makes them more noteworthy than your usual wrap.

Take our Buffalo Chicken Wrap, for example: It's a fun riff on buffalo wings that includes chicken tenders, shredded carrots and celery, and a tangy homemade blue cheese sauce. Another hearty option is our Steak Sandwich Wraps. It starts with two spreads: a yogurt-Parmesan mixture on half of the wrap (lavash in this case) and mustard on the other. Thinly-sliced steak, bacon, slices of red onion and arugula complete the package. Another cooked option? Crispy Oven-Baked-Fish Wraps, which pair the best of two classics: a fish fry and taco night.

What about a lettuce wrap? It's a gluten-free option, and we like that the leaves always bring a fresh, crunchy contrast to the filling; here, in our Spicy Thai-Style Lettuce Wraps, we piled leftover braised brisket inside leaves of Bibb lettuce, then added carrots, cucumber, and chiles for flavor. You can make something similar using any leftover pulled or shredded meat, such as rotisserie chicken or pulled pork, that you have on hand.

We even have ideas for breakfast or brunch wraps: First, consider Huevos Rancheros Wraps, which take basic bacon and eggs to a new level, wrapping them in a tortilla with refried beans and avocado. Rice and Beans with Avocado, Tomato, and Cheese would make an equally fine brunch, packed as they are with a bean-onion-bell pepper mixture, homemade salsa, avocado, and cheese.

The takeaway? You can (and should!) enjoy wraps at every meal. And with out best recipes, you'll be able to pull together a tasty wrap in no time at all.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap

These fun wraps transform classic buffalo wing flavors into an easy-to-eat sandwich that includes chicken tenders, shredded carrots and celery, and a tangy homemade blue cheese sauce.

Crispy Oven-Baked-Fish Wraps

These easy wraps are the best of two classics: a fish fry and taco night. You coat strips of firm white fish in panko and bake them until they're crisp on the outside and flaky and tender inside. Serve with soft flour tortillas and coleslaw mix.

Salami and Coleslaw Wrap

While coleslaw might easily fall out of a traditional sandwich, it stays nice and tidy in a wrap. Plus, the crunchy, tangy accompaniment pairs nicely with salty, savory salami.

Poached-Chicken Cups with Ginger-Scallion Oil

The​ ​fresh flavors really​ ​shine in this vibrant chicken salad wrap that pairs tender, perfectly cooked chicken with quick-pickled carrot ribbons in crunchy lettuce cups (no carbs here!).

Prosciutto and Gruyère Wraps

With delicate sweet and salty prosciutto, rich and nutty-tasting Gruyère, and woody mushrooms, these wraps are a satisfying lunch or light dinner. Baby arugula provides color and a pleasantly bitter edge.

Steak Sandwich Wrap

To make these meaty wraps, you spread a yogurt-Parmesan mixture on half of the wrap (lavash in this case) and mustard on the other. Once you layer in thinly sliced steak, bacon, slices of red onion, and arugula, all that's left to do is roll up and enjoy.

Huevos Rancheros Wraps

Basic bacon and eggs become something special when you serve them wrapped in a tortilla with refried beans and avocado.

Tuna-Salad Wraps

You either can go with a classic tuna salad for these tasty sandwiches or try a Waldorf version, which incorporates chopped red apple, chopped toasted pecans, and dried currants. And if you're so inclined, lavash makes a wonderful wrap; this Middle Eastern bread is thin enough to easily roll.

Rice and Beans with Avocado, Tomato, and Cheese

These burrito-inspired wraps include a bean-onion-bell pepper mixture, homemade salsa, avocado, and cheese. Instead of rolling them up, though, you simply fold them into quarters.

Chicken Koftas with Cucumbers and Yogurt

These may stretch the definition of wrap, but no matter: they're delicious. Koftas are like Middle Eastern meatballs, and this riff is made with ground chicken and packed with herbs for maximum flavor and brightness. Tuck them into a pita with tomatoes, a cucumber-yogurt sauce and mint, and you've got a delicious chicken salad wrap that's a little different and altogether delicious.
