School Lunch Packing Tips for Turkey Wraps
For a delicious turkey wrap that stays fresh and appealing until lunchtime, check out these packing tips:
Use a firm container
A hard lunch container that fits the wrap snugly is the best choice to keep the wrap from getting squished inside the lunch bag. Don’t use zip bags to pack it!
Wait to slice it
Once you assemble the turkey wrap, wait until right before putting it in the lunch bag to cut it in half. This prevents the wrap from getting soggy, especially if the lunchbox is bigger than the wrap.
Layer strategically
The reason to layer hummus, spinach, tomato, and turkey in that order is that hummus holds the greens, and the greens keep the tortilla from absorbing the moisture from the tomato.
Keep it fresh
Store the wraps in the fridge until ready to pack them in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack, keeping the wrap fresh and safe to eat by lunchtime.
