Start with a large burrito sized tortilla.

Place shredded lettuce on top of the tortilla to create a barrier.

Add cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce (optional).

Scoop a few scoops of egg salad and place it in the middle of the tortilla on top of the lettuce.

Sprinkle your favorite all-purpose seasoning or taco seasoning or Creole seasoning over the egg salad, or use a little salt and pepper instead.

To fold the wrap, grab the sides of the tortilla and fold them over the filling.

Take the backside of the tortilla and push it all the way to the front while holding it with your fingers.

Tuck it tight to keep everything in, then continue to tuck and roll like a burrito.

Select a lunch container that fits the wrap tightly to prevent movement.

Slice the egg salad wrap in half before placing it in the container.

Pack additional sides like carrots and frozen blueberries in the lunch container.

Place ice packs in the lunch bag to keep everything fresh.
