Mediterranean-Style Roast Beef and Cheddar Wrap
This Roast Beef and Cheddar Wrap takes the beloved deli sandwich and gives it a Mediterranean-friendly makeover without sacrificing any of the bold, peppery flavor you love. Instead of a heavy mayonnaise, we blend creamy Greek yogurt with just enough mayo and a good kick of prepared horseradish to keep things zesty while adding protein and probiotics. Lean roast beef and sharp cheddar bring savory richness, while crisp romaine lettuce, juicy tomato and thinly sliced red onion add crunch, freshness, and a boost of vegetables, all wrapped up in a fiber-rich whole wheat tortilla. This wrap is designed for busy weekdays when you want something satisfying, portable, and better-for-you. It comes together in under 15 minutes with no cooking required, making it perfect for meal prep or a quick lunch between errands. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil inside the wrap adds a layer of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and a subtle fruity note that ties the whole thing together, keeping this lunch firmly in line with Mediterranean diet principles while still tasting like your favorite deli counter order. Feel free to customize with whatever vegetables you have on hand, swap in a low-sodium roast beef to keep salt in check, or use a sprouted grain wrap for even more fiber. Pair it with a side salad or some fresh fruit for a complete, balanced midday meal.
