Ham Sandwich Wrap with Veggies

Laura Fuentes holding a stack of lunchboxes and a school lunch bag

Ham and cheese is my daughter’s favorite lunch combo. She’ll eat it in a sandwich, bento box, or in a wrap. As she’s gotten older and her appetite has grown, sandwich wraps have been great for a filling lunch, especially when you add more veggies. They’re also great because you can make them ahead and pack them with different lunch sides depending on what you have on hand.

Packing It for Lunch

Assemble
Spread a thin layer of ranch, mayo, or your favorite condiment over the tortilla. Add the lettuce or spinach, followed by the tomato, corn, ham, and cheese. Keeping the wetter veggies toward the center helps protect the tortilla from extra moisture.
Roll it
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly, tucking the ingredients in as you go. Don’t overfill it or you’ll have a harder time keeping everything inside.
Pack for lunch
Cut the wrap in half and place it in a hard lunch container so it doesn’t get squished. Keep juicy fruit and other wet sides in a separate compartment and refrigerate until you’re ready to pack the lunch bag.

Laura’s School Lunch Packing Tips

How do you keep a ham and veggie wrap from getting soggy?

Keep the wettest ingredients away from the tortilla and don’t use more dressing than you need. If you like lettuce or spinach, layer the greens against the tortilla before adding tomato. If you don’t, place the ham and cheese against the tortilla and keep the tomatoes closer to the center.

Can I make the wrap the night before?

Yes. Roll it tightly and refrigerate it in a covered container overnight. I like to leave the wrap whole and slice it before packing so the filling stays tucked inside.

What’s the best way to keep a wrap from getting squished?

Use a hard lunch container that fits the wrap fairly snugly. A zip bag doesn’t give it much protection once it’s bouncing around inside a lunch bag.

Should I put extra dressing inside the wrap?

Use just enough to add flavor without making the tortilla wet. If you want more, pack it in a small leak-proof container for dipping instead.
