6 sandwich wraps for kids' lunches

Don’t send your kids off to school with boring, tasteless sandwiches – pack a wrap instead. They’re the perfect portable package, and filling and nutritious too

What better way to fill your kids’ lunchboxes than with a scrummy, healthy wrap? They’re much more fun than the standard doorstep sandwiches – and a lot more tasty. You can even get the kids involved in the kitchen: let them choose their favourite fillings and get them wrapping.

You can use chapattis or flour tortillas for your wrap. What you put inside is up to you – the possibilities are endless. Glean inspiration from across the world – Thai, Mexican and Indian recipe books are all good hunting grounds – and use fresh herbs and lime or lemon juice for flavour.

These recipes are for four people. If you don’t need this much, just reduce the quantities accordingly. If you make the full amount, there will be enough wraps for the whole family and you can freeze what you don’t use. Wraps are best eaten chilled, so a good way of keeping them cool in the lunchbox is to include a frozen carton of fruit juice.
