Wraps grilled on my George Foreman grill are my favorite sandwiches right now. If you haven’t tried it, you should! You can put anything in a wrap and then just roll it up. Flatten it a little, and place it on the grill with the edge side up. I grill foor 3-5 minutes, and then cut them in half. Grilling makes wraps nice a toasty and also keeps them from unrolling. Bon Appetit!
