A wrap is a type of sandwich made with a soft flatbread rolled around a filling. The usual flatbreads are wheat-flour 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, such as ranch or honey mustard.Mexicans, Armenians, Greeks, Turks and Kurds have been eating wraps since before the 1900s. Mexicans refer to them as tacos, and they come in different ingredient varieties, such as corn, flour and wheat.
The wrap in its Western form probably comes from California, as a generalization of the Tex-Mex burrito, and became popular in the 1990s.It may have been invented and named at a southern California chain called I Love Juicy in the early 1980s.The Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford, Connecticut is sometimes claimed to have invented the wrap at about the same time, but Valentine is diffident about it: Well, that's legend and folklore, but until somebody disputes me or comes up with a better story, I'll say I invented the wrap. Beth Dolan of Stamford, Connecticut is the waitress credited for serving the first wrap after the restaurant had ran out of bread. Moreover, Valentine's own story dates his use of the name 'wrap' to the mid-1990s, after it is documented in California.A wrap is different from a sandwich: a sandwich has two distinct layers which are the top and bottom pieces of bread. A wrap, on the other hand, is one piece that completely surrounds the content of the wrap.Restaurants such as Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, Sonic Drive-In, Piccolo Gourmet New York, Jason's Deli, Buffalo Wild Wings, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Roly Poly, and McAlister's Deli serve wraps. KFC now serves its chicken in a wrap as menu choice, with lettuce, mayonnaise and salsa. McDonald's has recently introduced a snack wrap, with a fried chicken strip, lettuce, Cheddar, and ranch dressing. Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill has recently introduced a Portobello Chicken Wrap to broaden their selection of grilled menu items. Wraps are also very popular in Australia and New Zealand with chains such as Oporto and Burger Fuel amongst others serving them.The UK wrap market has grown substantially since 2004 with all major sandwich and fast food stores now selling wraps.

Nikki's Greek Salad Chicken Wrap | Elliniki Wrap recipe
Greek Salad Chicken Wrap | Elliniki Wrap
This is a classic sandwich wrap that works any time of year. I can’t tell you how often I get asked for this recipe. It is basically a flavorful Greek salad wrapped up with grilled chicken in a soft, grilled pita wrap. Make this for lunch or dinner any day of the week!
Makes 4 wraps
½ head of romaine lettuce, washed, dried and chopped
1 tomato, cored and chopped
½ cucumber, chopped (about 1 cup)
½ cup Kalamata olives
2 peppercinis (optional)
¼ red onion, finely chopped
½ cup of feta
¼ cup of dressing red wine and olive oil dressing (see recipe below)
4 pitas, freshly grilled*
16 ounces (1 pound) grilled chicken (4 oz per wrap), thinly sliced
Dressing
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp black pepper
*To grill pitas: bring to grill or stove burner to high heat. Gently brush each side of the pita with olive oil and grill it for about 4 minutes per side, or until there are light char marks and the bread is soft.
First, prepare the salad by adding the chopped lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olive, peppercini, onion, and feta to a bowl. Drizzle it with the dressing and toss it thoroughly so the salad is completely coated.
Place the freshly grilled pitas on a platter.
Evenly distribute the grilled chicken onto the pitas, then evenly distribute the salad on top of the chicken.
Wrap the pitas tightly around the grilled chicken, wrap the bottom with parchment paper so they are easy to hold when you eat them, and serve immediately.
