Drizzle with poppyseed dressing and bacon is no longer the star of this show.

(via Britnell) Grilled Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Wrap: Time to fire up the grill (or the stove) for these bad boys. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs perfectly with the tangy sauce. Top it off with lettuce, tomato, red onion or nothing at all. Its good either way. (via Creme de la Crumb) Cobb Salad Wrap: Between the chicken, bacon, egg, bleu cheese and avocado, this wrap won’t leave you hungry. (via Anna Monette Roberts, POPSUGAR Food) Sonoma Chicken Salad Wrap: You don’t need mayo to make this classic chicken salad. Instead, whisk together plain yogurt and apple cider vinegar to make a tangy dressing.

This recipe takes it to another level with fresh mango and a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.

(via Tried and Tasty) Healthy Turkey Wraps Buffalo Turkey Lettuce Wrap: Healthy eating is easy with these flavor-packed buffalo wraps. Even better than gameday wings, they’re loaded up with ground turkey, onion, carrot and celery mixed with none other than Frank’s Hot Sauce. Drizzle on your blue cheese or ranch or opt for blue cheese crumbles â€" make it as spicy and cheesy as you want.

Wrap it up with a handful of fresh lettuce and a drizzle of the honey-vinegar sauce for a tasty and balanced lunch. (via Emily Bites) Turkey Taco Lettuce Wrap: Taco Tuesday just got even better. Load ‘em up however you want with all your favorite toppings. Pica de gallo, avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro sound heavenly to me. (via Cooking Classy) Turkey and Cucumber Lettuce Wraps: This wrap has the makings of a healthy salad but is easier to eat and even better tasting thanks to the hummus and sprinkle of paprika.

(via Sarah Lipoff, YumSugar) Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Wrap: You can’t go wrong when you put pesto, feta cheese and roasted red peppers together. The protein punch from the turkey almost comes in second to the other fillings’ flavors. (via Neighbor Food) Creamy Avocado Turkey Wrap: Something seriously simple can taste seriously good: for example, Greek yogurt, avocado and garlic combine to make the tasty dressing for this turkey-based wrap.

I’m not sure why we didn’t make the switch earlier. (via Delish) Healthy Protein Wraps with Meat Easy BLTA Wrap: Avocado makes anything better, including the classic B.L.T. sandwich. But even better than that? A light wrap instead of bread to let the flavors shine through.
