More Tips for Packing Egg Salad Wrap

Follow these tips and the wrap will stay fresh and appealing for many hours:

Keep the wrap from getting soggy
Layer your tomatoes away from the wrap. Since tomatoes are quite watery, it’s better to keep them separate from the tortilla.

Separate wet from dry ingredients
Place the wrap in the main compartment of the lunchbox and keep “wet” ingredients (like fruits and veggies) in a separate compartment so everything stays intact hours later.

Keep it fresh
If you make this egg salad wrap for school lunch ahead, the tortilla could dry out. To prevent this, cover the tortilla with a damp paper towel and refrigerate, especially if you’re using gluten-free tortillas since they tend to dry out quicker than traditional flour tortillas.

Use a firm container
To keep the wrap from being flattened or falling apart, pack the wrap in a sturdy lunch container (instead of a zip bag). Place it inside the main compartment, whole or sliced in half, where there’s little to no room for it to move around. Here are my top picks for school lunch boxes.

Keep it chilled
Pack this egg salad wrap inside an insulated lunch bag and use an ice pack to keep the temperature inside the lunch bag cool.

Add more nutrition
You can build an even more satisfying meal by packing this wrap along with tasty school lunch sides, like fruit, and veggies, these No-Bake Chocolate Energy Balls, or a healthy dessert. Remember to pack them separately from the wrap!
