15 FAST sandwiches and wraps
These very BASIC recipes are all so quick, easy and tasty to make - they all have a maximum of 5 ingredients each. It's up to you if you build upon these by adding extra ingredients to make them as you wish!
BBQ Chicken
- White CANNED (Kirkland brand) chicken breast from Costco is my preferred choice
- Your favourite BBQ sauce
- Grated cheese - your preference (OPTIONAL)
- Veggies: lettuce, onion, peppers (ALL OPTIONAL)
- Your choice of wrap, bread, bagel, buns - whatever
Open can, drain and mix with BBQ sauce - how easy is that??
As a side note: I use the above to make a quick and tasty pizza for dinner. Cut a french loaf in half length ways and slather on the BBQ chicken and grate some cheese over it and put it in the oven. With a bagged salad on the side, perfect for dinner in a hurry!

| Quick & easy! |
Ham and cream cheese roll ups
- Deli sliced ham
- Cream cheese (the more the merrier I say!!)
- Tortillas
Spread on cream cheese to wrap, place ham on top and roll. Cut these up into mini pin wheels - they look cute and are bite sized!
 |
| Add any salad to your pinwheels too! |
Nut Butter & Banana Wrap
- 1 tortilla
- 1 whole peeled banana
- 100% nut butter - your preference
Spread nut butter all over wrap, place banana in middle - roll up tortilla and cut in half
 |
| Also perfect for a healthy breakfast on the run! |
Nutella and banana sushi
- Tortilla wrap
- 1 Banana
- Nutella
- Strawberries
This is just a more fun variation on the above...
Slather your wrap in Nutella, place whole banana at the edge of tortilla, roll up and slice into sushi sizes - wipe your knife between cuts so it looks pretty :) Place strawberries on for decoration.

Cesear chicken salad wrap

Cheese dream sandwiches
I'm sure you're used to the North American way of making french toast (very sweet). Now try the British version (very salty) but adding a little cheese as well...
- Bread
- Grated cheese
- Eggs
- Milk
- Salt
- Pepper
Mix bottom 4 ingredients in a bowl, dip in 2 slices of bread and fry them on one side, flip one over and sprinkle cheese all over it and place other slice on bread on top. Fry until cheese is nice a gooey. Once fried to golden perfection add a dash more salt and pepper.
 |
| Stick some ham in there too if you fancy it?! |
Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas
- Tortilla wrap
- Chicken
- Grated cheese
- Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Salsa
Sprinkle cheese on wrap, mix together chicken and salsa, scoop onto wrap and fry in a pan. Once golden dip into your yogurt or sour cream.
 |
| You can even dip it into some more salsa if you like it nice and spicy! |
Grilled Ham and Cheese Waffles
- Frozen waffles
- 1 tbs dijon mustard (optional)
- Deli ham
- Thinly sliced cheese
- Butter
Spread mustard on one side only, top with ham, cheese and another waffle. Spread butter on the top waffle and melt more butter in a pan. Place waffle into the pan butter side up.
 |
| Big stack! |
Chicken Club Lettuce wraps
OK... so this recipe has 8 ingredients but it's the only one :)
- Lettuce
- Chicken
- Mini tomatoes
- Avocado
- Bacon
- 2 tbs dijon mustard
- 2 tbs sour cream
- pinch of pepper
To make djion sauce: mix together dijon, sour cream and pepper. Put chicken into lettuce leaves, add on top all ingredients including the sauce. Pick up the wrap like a taco and enjoy!
 |
| Change up the sauce to BBQ/Buffalo/Ranch... whatever!! |
TIP: Fed up with the same old breads? Try a naan instead!

| Naan bread to shake things up a little in the lunch department! |
