Trader Joe's Worst Pre-Made Wrap Is A Total Ratio Disaster

Trader Joe's is known for many things — its quirky lineup of snack foods, frozen meals, and its grab-and-go section. The latter surely deserves a bit more attention. Hungry shoppers can simply walk to the prepared foods section, grab an item to help them fuel up in between errands or for lunch, and head directly to the cash registers to get their fix — no aimless wandering required.

Among the prepared food options are an impressive lineup of sandwiches and wraps. To decide which of these items was most worth buying, we sent our taster to sample nine different options and rank them from worst to best based on the quality and quantity of the filling and breading, and how satisfying each one was overall. While some options soared, others sank; chief among the ones worth skipping was the Spicy Lentil Wrap. 

One of our taster's biggest complaints about it was that the ratio of filling to wrap was decidedly off. This wrap's spiciness (if it was there at all) was nullified by the amount of wrap in each bite. The taster noted that the tahini sauce on the side was the primary engine for spice, but it wasn't enough to save this wrap from the bottom of the prepared foods pile. 

Comparison may have been the thief of joy here, as this spicy lentil wrap has received overwhelmingly positive praise on social media. One TikTok user shared that they have been eating between one and three of these wraps a week, every week, for nearly 10 years, and practically begged the brand never to discontinue them. 

"The Spicy Lentil Wrap is such a hidden gem; it's packed with flavor and always hits the spot," another said about it on Reddit. Folks have also utilized social media to share how they upgrade this prepared option; some stuff it with coleslaw for bulk, while others add hot sauce to the tahini dip, presumably to turn up the heat.

That's not to say that our taster was alone in their negative opinion about this wrap. Folks on Reddit have called it small and under-filled (sound familiar?), while others note that the predominant flavor note is raw cabbage — so your opinion about this option may hinge on how you feel about the cruciferous veggie and what your ideal ratio of wrap-to-filling is.
