Why you’ll love this egg salad wrap recipe



Ingredients and substitutions
Ingredients laid out to make egg salad wraps.
  • Egg salad – I use my cottage cheese egg salad recipe but any egg salad will do.
  • Wraps – Large soft flour tortillas (8-inch) work best. Warm them a little if they’re too stiff.
  • Vegetables – A lettuce mix, grated carrots, and cucumber add freshness and extra goodness to these egg wraps. Red cabbage sauerkraut or pickles make tasty additions as well.

Variations


Lettuce egg salad wraps: Use large lettuce leaves instead of flour tortillas to make salad egg wraps.

Spice it up: Some siracha sauce or chili flakes can add some nice heat and extra flavor to these wraps.

Egg salad sandwich: Swap the tortilla for some Turkish flatbread or homemade soft sandwich bread to make an easy egg sandwich.

Recipe FAQs


Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can make it 1 day ahead but fresh is best when it comes to wraps as they can easily get soggy. Meal prep all the ingredients and make a fresh wrap in 5 minutes.

Can I make these egg wraps gluten-free?

Yes, simply use a gluten-free tortilla or make a lettuce salad wrap instead.

  • ▢ 1/3 cup egg salad
  • ▢ 1/4 green onion sliced
Instructions

Lay out the flour tortilla on a large plate. 1 flour tortilla wrap
Start with lettuce at the bottom, followed by cucumber, grated carrots, egg salad, and sliced green onion.1 cup mixed lettuce leaves, 1/8 cucumber, 1/2 carrot, 1/3 cup egg salad, 1/4 green onion
Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from the bottom edge.
Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in tin foil, or parchment paper and store it in an airtight container for later.
Tips
  • Soften tortillas: Depending on the type of tortilla you’re using you might need to heat them slightly if they are too firm. Warm the tortilla for 20-30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
  • Balance filling: Add the filling in the middle of the tortilla but don’t overfill to ensure a tight roll that stays together.
