Wraps vs sandwiches best uses

Choose form by filling and occasion

Wraps are great for portable, handheld meals and fillings that benefit from being rolled, like grilled veggies, falafel, or shawarma. Sandwiches using sliced or crusty bread shine with stacked ingredients that need separation and structure, such as club sandwiches or Reubens.

When to pick each:

• Wraps: soft, layered fillings that won’t leak, ideal for on-the-go.
• Sandwiches: hot melts, stacked layers, or fillings that benefit from toasting.

Consider texture and moisture:

• Use sturdy tortillas or lavash for wraps and contain wetter ingredients with a barrier (hummus or cheese).
• Toast bread for sandwiches with wet fillings to protect structure.

Both are versatile; select by convenience, texture, and desired presentation.
