What Is Wrap?

It is a dish made with a soft flatbread rolled around a filling. The usual flatbreads are wheat tortillas, lavash, or pita; the filling usually consists of cold sliced meat, poultry, or fish accompanied by shredded lettuce, diced tomato or pico de gallo, guacamole, sauteed mushrooms, bacon, grilled onions, cheese, and a sauce. It was western culture and probably comes from California, and became popular in the 1990s. 

It is a dish that is easy to go it can be taken in hands and can be eaten while working. In India, these wraps gained popularity from Kolkata and became the popular street food. Now a variety of wraps are been available like kebab is wrapped in paratha. It has chicken wrap filled with crispy chicken with lettuce, mayonnaise, and salsa.

These filings are flourishing and nutritious as it consists of healthy ingredients. In these fillings, you can vary vegetables according to your choices.
