About Chicken Wrap
Until a short time ago, I didn't know about the Chicken Wrap, how about you?
The history of chicken wrap dates back to the ancient culinary traditions of different cultures, especially those that used bread or vegetable leaves to wrap various fillings. However, the modern concept of the wrap as we know it today has gained popularity over the last few decades as the search for quick, portable meal options has increased.
The idea of wrapping ingredients in a thin layer of bread or tortilla to create a convenient snack or meal has spread globally. In Mexico, tacos and burritos have been an integral part of cuisine for centuries, serving as early examples of the concept of a wrap. In the Middle East region, falafel and shawarma are also examples of foods wrapped in thin breads such as pita bread.
However, the term “wrap” itself gained popularity in the 1990s and 2000s, particularly in North America and other parts of the western world. It was around this time that fast-food restaurants and cafes began offering wraps as a healthier, lighter alternative to traditional sandwiches. These wraps often featured whole wheat tortillas or even lettuce leaves as packaging options.
