  2. Place one slice of cheese on top of the lunch meat.
  3. Place two tomato slices on top of the cheese.
  4. Add 1/8 cup of lettuce.
  5. Fold bottom of tortilla in and roll tortilla tightly (tomato, or hiker’s head, should “peek out”).
  6. Tie tortilla in place with a piece of clean string.

To Serve:

  • Wrap individual servings in plastic wrap. Remember to remove the string before eating. Also, pack the wrap with a frozen water bottle or ice pack in an insulated container to keep it cold on the trail.

Fun Fact: Eating tomatoes are a great way to keep your heart healthy and your memory sharp.
