Italian Sandwich Wrap

Packed with fresh ingredients and zesty flavors, these Italian Sandwich Wraps are a convenient option for a satisfying meal on the go.

It’s time for the kids to go back to school and I’ve been trying to come up with some new ideas for things to pack in their lunches.  We recently became fans of Italian Sub Sandwiches toasted in the oven, but since that isn’t possible for when they go to school, I thought a wrap would be a fun way to still enjoy the flavors of the Italian meats and provolone cheese.  I made this with a regular flour tortilla, but a spinach, whole-wheat, or a sun-dried tomato wrap would work just as well.  It would be just as delicious made with flatbread, in a pita pocket, or on any kind of bread.

I like using a wrap for boxed lunches because it is so easy and convenient to eat.  When I am making a wrap to pack in a lunch box, I roll it up as tightly as possible and wrap it in plastic wrap.  This keeps the wrap secure holds all the contents in place until its time to eat so it doesn’t get soggy

Update: This Italian Sandwich Wrap has become one of our favorites for family outings, not just school lunches. They’re easy to assemble, perfect to pack along for whatever activity we’re planning, and taste terrific! I make them for my kids’ and husband’s lunches, and they’re always a hit.

Ingredients in an Italian Sandwich Wrap

We recently became fans of Italian Sub Sandwiches toasted in the oven. However, for school lunches I thought a wrap would be a fun way to still enjoy the flavors of the Italian meats and provolone cheese. Here’s what I use for this wrap:

• Flour Tortillas – You can use spinach, whole wheat, or sun-dried tomato tortillas too! Or see below for our tips on making a lettuce wrap.
• Italian Hard Salami
• Pepperoni
• Ham
• Provolone Cheese
• Banana Peppers – you can also use pepperoncini peppers
• Lettuce – we usually use green leaf, but you can use spinach or arugula too.
• Zesty Italian Dressing – the Kraft brand is our favorite!

More Ingredient Options

Try different combinations of meats, cheeses, veggies, and toppings to suit your tastes. Using a variety of ingredients keeps things fresh and fun, especially when you make them often.

Vegetables: Red Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Red Pepper, Artichoke Hearts, Tomato Slices

Meats: Capicola, Genoa Salami, Turkey

Cheeses: Mozzarella Cheese, Pepper Jack Cheese, Colby Jack Cheese

Toppings: Black Olives, Kalamata Olives, Fresh Basil, Mayo, Pesto

How to Make a Wrap

It is so simple to assemble a wrap! All you do is lay the ingredients flat on the tortilla and then roll it up. They look pretty and they’re so convenient to eat. I like to fold the edges in and then roll it up so the edges are closed. When I am making a wrap to pack in a lunch box, I roll it up as tightly as possible and wrap it in plastic wrap. This keeps the wrap secure holds all the contents in place until it’s time to eat so it doesn’t get soggy.

With a Tortilla

With a Lettuce Leaf

For a low-carb Italian Sandwich Wrap option, or if you just like a little extra crunch, use green leaf lettuce as the wrap! Place all the ingredients on top of the lettuce and eat it like a lettuce taco.
