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.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

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.

Notes

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.
