I love a good sandwich. Growing up, my dad was a master sandwich maker. All he had to do was ask and I was game. I’d watch as he toasted bread and layered meat with cheese, tomato and lettuce, and his spread of choice. Sometimes they were open face sandwiches, slipped under the broiler for a little melty goodness. Other times, they were on English muffins, which remains one of my favorite building blocks for sandwiches to this day. Always, they were delicious. My dad–the sandwich man.
These days, while I’m still a sandwich fan, it’s easy for familiar combinations to become old and tired quickly. I mean really, I eat a sandwich most days of the week for lunch? How many different ways can you make a sandwich? When ennui sets in, it’s time to shake things up a bit and think outside the box. Take the tried and true original pieces and swap them out for something a little more exciting. And that, my friends, is where this wrap comes in.
Yes, a wrap is a sandwich in a rolled-up form. And by selecting a flavored tortilla for my base–in this case, sun-dried tomato–we’re already breaking a case of the blahs. The chicken is a stand-by, for sure, but the roasted tomatoes give it a bit of oomph. Store-bought tomatoes taste so bland this time of year anyway–roasting gives them a flavor boost that is addictive. Then some chopped olives for a little bit of brininess and cheese, of course–have to have the cheese–and you have yourself a sandwich. Almost. Once you’ve assembled all your filling components, you have a tough decision to make. The piece-de-resistance comes next–the spread, the dressing, the mortar that holds it all together. And after you’ve put so much work into your masterpiece, you don’t want to waste your efforts on something boring. Go for something a little different, a lot of tasty, and easy to procure.
