Roast Beef Wrap for Lunch

When my kids get tired of sandwiches, wraps are one of the easiest ways I change things up without buying completely different ingredients. This roast beef wrap combines deli meat with crisp veggies for a filling lunch that takes just a few minutes to make. It’s also one of those sandwich wraps that makes a filling teen lunch.

Packing It for Lunch

Assemble
Spread a thin layer of mayo or Ranch over the tortilla, then place the dry lettuce in the center followed by the roast beef and remaining veggies. Keeping the lettuce against the tortilla helps create a barrier from wetter ingredients.
Roll
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly, burrito-style, tucking the ingredients in as you go.
Pack for school
Place the wrap snugly inside a lunch container and refrigerate until you’re ready to pack it. Keep fruit, veggies, and other lunch sides in separate compartments and use an ice pack, if needed.

Laura’s School Lunch Packing Tips

How do you prevent soggy wraps?

Place dry lettuce against the tortilla before adding the rest of the filling. It creates a barrier that helps keep moisture from reaching the tortilla, and don’t overdo the mayo or Ranch.

Can I make this wrap ahead?

Yes. Assemble and roll it the night before, then refrigerate it in a sealed lunch container. I prefer to leave it whole overnight and cut it in the morning so the filling stays tucked inside.

How do you keep a wrap from falling apart?

When making the wrap, don’t overfill it. Fold both sides inward and roll tightly while tucking the ingredients into the tortilla. Pack it in a sturdy container where it fits snugly so it can’t unroll or get squished.

What vegetables are good in a roast beef wrap?

Lettuce, shredded carrots, and corn work well here, but cucumbers, bell peppers, spinach, or whatever crunchy vegetables you already have are easy swaps.
