Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Ralph Smith
Spicy Buffalo chicken, cool ranch, and plenty of crunchy veggies make these wraps anything but boring. Better yet, rotisserie chicken does most of the work, so lunch can be ready in just 25 minutes!
Sweet-and-spicy shredded pork gets tucked into crisp lettuce cups with tangy pickled onions for a lunch that hits all the right notes. Make the Instant Pot pork ahead of time, then reheat it whenever hunger strikes.
The next time you fire up the grill, throw on a couple skirt steaks, so you can make this Asian-inspired wrap recipe for lunch over the next few days. A dreamy peanut sauce and a handful of thinly sliced veggies finish it off beautifully.
You really can’t go wrong with chicken Caesar—especially when you can roll the whole thing up and take it with you. Crisp lettuce, juicy chicken, salty cheese, and creamy dressing all get tucked into a whole-wheat wrap.
These lettuce wraps may be packed with veggies, but there’s nothing skimpy about them. Marinated steak, chewy rice noodles, and a sweet-and-spicy peanut sauce make them hearty enough for lunch or dinner.
Ree promises this vegetarian wrap will “rock your world,” and with hummus, greens, peppers, artichokes, and feta involved, we understand why. It also comes together in just 11 minutes. Lunch crisis averted!
Taco fillings, meet lettuce cups! Smoky ground turkey and plenty of fresh toppings keep things flavorful, and you can prep the components ahead or make the whole meal in about 30 minutes.
This twist on banh mi swaps the usual bread for crisp lettuce cups, but it certainly doesn’t skimp on flavor. Pork chops, rice noodles, fresh veggies, and spicy mayo make sure of that.
Strawberries in a lunch wrap? Absolutely! Their sweetness pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, creamy goat cheese, mixed greens, and a tangy balsamic dressing.
Stir-fried chicken is the star here, but the crunchy veggies and creamy peanut sauce deserve plenty of attention, too. Wrap everything up in a tortilla for a lunch that tastes a whole lot more exciting than plain ol’ leftovers.
