Lunch Sandwiches with a Tasty Twist

POSTED August 27, 2019

From apple and goat cheese pita pockets and chicken shawarma wraps to Sloppy Joe grilled-cheese sammies, some of the easiest lunch and dinner recipes fit in a pita pocket, flat wrap or two pieces of toasted bread! When you’re tired of the same old sandwich, get a load of these delectable delights that you can gobble up with one or both hands!

Veggie, Fish, Chicken and Lamb Pita Recipes


From the Kitchn comes a variety of veggie-stuffed pitas, and blogger Kelli Foster calls them as a salad on-the-go. Spanning whole-grain, no-lettuce and leafy greens, she collected 17 different stuffing recipes to fill those pita pockets – most of which you can assemble well in advance and eat on the run.

Scrambled Chickpea and Spinach, Barley Salad with Figs and Tarragon-Lemon Dressing, and Carrot Tahini Salad are just three of the mouth-watering combinations from Kelli’s no-meat menu of options. But there are also plenty of meaty-pita fillings. Like Yogurt and Dill Chicken Salad, Pesto Chicken Salad and Ground Lamb Naan!

For 21 more pita filling recipes, including Shrimp Salad, Baked Falafel and Greek Salmon fillings, head to Greatist. You’ll find a variety that includes lots of meaty, sweet potato-y and veggie fillings, sure to tempt you with the flat bread pockets for a quick and easy meal.

Wrap it Up 

When you’re tired of the same old bread sandwich, switch things up with a wrap. They’re low in fat and carbs, come in regular flour, whole wheat and veggie flavors, and can encase chicken shawarma to chicken parmesan — just about anything can be rolled up into a tasty lunch. And if you’re looking for a lower-carb option, Delish has a few lettuce and collard wraps that rival anything you can order in an Asian eatery!

Breakfast takes on an easy twist with cheesy bacon and egg scramble with avocado, and if you like a little crunch in every bite, take a look at the Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wrap from Delish. With shredded rotisserie chicken, Frank’s® hot sauce and some blue cheese, when you cook these in a skillet for three minutes, you’ll have a wrap that holds together well for dipping, too! 

Sandwich Recipes You Need to Try!

You’ll never make another Sloppy Joe the plain way again once you taste this grilled cheese version. Delish helps you make your own sauce (not canned!) for this sensational sammie with onion, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and chili powder. All you need is ground beef, sliced bread and cheddar. Not the easiest to eat without making a mess, but worth every sloppy bite!

Delish has 85 of these yummy sandwich recipes you may never have tasted, like the open-faced French Toast Ham & Cheese, the Beer Soaked Grilled Cheese (beer-soaked what?!), the crunchy Tuna Melt with Tomatoes, and the Hot Dog Cuban with Black Forest Ham and Swiss.
