Lunch’s a wrap – a lamb meatball wrap
You’ve probably noticed by now that wraps are one of my go-to lunch options. Just like my easy ham and cheese wraps or egg salad wraps, this meatball version makes an incredibly quick and easy lunch thanks to some meal-prepped lamb meatballs. Here’s why I love making them:
- Quick and easy meal: Meatball wraps are perfect for picnics, lunchboxes and make an excellent quick lunch or dinner that’s ready in 10 minutes flat.
- Save money: Make a copycat Prêt or Subway meatball wrap at home and save money by cooking from scratch.
- Versatile recipe: Follow the recipe closely or change up the ingredients to suit your taste – this is good base recipe for meatball wraps.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Meatballs – Pan-fried, grilled, or oven-baked meatballs work well. I use my Italian lamb meatballs but pan-fried beef meatballs, pork, or vegan meatballs are great options too. Meatballs made from ground chicken or ground turkey are protein-rich alternatives. Add them hot or cold to the wraps – just keep in mind that the wrap won’t last as long if you are adding hot meatballs as the lettuce will wilt.
- Wraps – I suggest using soft flour tortillas but wholemeal wraps work well too. You can choose gluten free tortillas as well.
- Salad – Iceberg lettuce adds a crunchy texture to this dish. Any type of lettuce or even baby spinach are great options.
- Sauerkraut – I use red cabbage sauerkraut and finely sliced red onion to add some extra flavor. Red or green bell peppers, tomatoes, or cucumbers make delicious fillings as well.
- Sauce – A flavorsome sauce such as tzatziki, mint pesto, or mint chimichurri completes the wrap.
Storage
I suggest meal-prepping all ingredients, especially the meatballs, but make the wraps fresh. They will last in an airtight container for some hours but they taste best fresh.
