Best Tortillas for Wrapping

Flour tortillas - soft, pliable, and easy to roll. Perfect for classic sandwich-style wraps.

Whole grain tortillas - if you want more fiber in your diet

Pita bread - pocket-style bread great for chicken gyros or falafel

Low carb tortillas - great if you eat low-carb or on a paleo or keto diet

Gluten free tortillas - if you are gluten free, try these cassava flour tortillas or almond flour tortillas, or coconut wraps

Egg wraps - high in protein (5g protein per wrap)

Veggie options - there are some great options out there: try these sweet potato tortillas or these cauliflower tortillas (both are gluten free)

Leafy greens - you can skip a traditional tortilla all together and use lettuce or collard greens to build your wraps.

How Do I Fold A Wrap So It Doesn’t Fall Apart?

To fold a wrap so it stays intact, start with a large, slightly warmed tortilla to prevent tearing.
Place fillings in the center, layering heavier items first and avoiding overfilling.
Fold the sides inward, then bring the bottom edge up over the fillings, tucking it tightly.
Roll the wrap upward, keeping it snug as you go.
For extra security, wrap it in parchment paper or foil, and slice in half if needed.

Tip: Use spreads like hummus or avocado to help bind the ingredients and prevent spills.
