Jack and Charlie’s “Sub” Lunchbox Wrap

Excerpted from Katie Workman’s The Mom 100 Cookbook

When we make a pit stop at the sandwich shop chain, my boys usually get the same sandwich. This is the wrap version.

Lunchbox Wraps

Ingredients

  • 2 large (10-inch) wraps or tortillas
  • Spicy brown mustard (optional)
  • A little bit of mayonnaise
  • 6 large thin slices roasted turkey
  • Shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • Sliced pickles
  • Sliced black olives
  • Side of jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the wraps or tortillas on a work surface. Squiggle some mustard, if using, over each wrap and spread on a bit of mayonnaise, making sure to smear some on the edge of the wrap farthest away from you. Layer 3 slices of the turkey on top of each wrap, leaving about one quarter of the wrap on the side farthest away from you bare. Distribute the lettuce, pickles, and olives over the turkey.
  2. Roll each wrap up toward the bare portion, using the mayonnaise to seal the wrap. Cut the wraps as desired before serving. Jack just eats the jalapeños on the side, because he is a little crazy.
