Sandwich wraps make for a tasty and easy-to-make tailgating treat.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who look forward to fall and football, then you’re likely already making your game plan for the dishes in this season’s playbook.

Of course, we have lots of suggestions and some personal favorites, many of which we have shared in some previous blogs.

We’ve also shared one of the VERY best Baby Back Rib Recipes on the Planet.

Today, we want to share some of my recipe ideas for best choices for a hungry crowd–one that takes the burden off you having to do so much preparation and cooking. You can prepare these earlier on the morning of the event, or in many cases, even the night before.

And that would be sandwich wraps.

Wraps are a perfect fit for any occasion because they’re easily held in the hand, you can cut them into smaller portions to allow your guests to enjoy more flavor choices, and they generally hold up better than regular sandwich bread. This affords you the opportunity to make them further in advance, which again, gives you time for other things (or just to relax).

Now, everybody has enjoyed or made sandwich wraps at one time or another. Many have made a wrap of sliced sandwich meats with lettuce, tomato and mayo or mustard, and no doubt they were just fine. But we’d like to share with you some NEW wrap ideas that we think fit just as well into a party environment. We KNOW your crowd will enjoy these tasty ideas.
