To keep this lunch easy to prepare, we use packaged coleslaw mix instead of shredding cabbage and carrots. This is a great way to use leftover cooked turkey or chicken too. Or buy 1/4 pound of sliced turkey or chicken from the deli counter and chop it—just be aware that deli turkey and chicken tend to be fairly high in salt. To pack these rolls, let the filling cool, then fill the tortilla and roll up. Cut the tortilla in half, wrap the two halves separately in wax paper, and chill up to 24 hours. Eat cold or microwave each roll half, in the wax paper wrapping, on High until heated through, about 1 1/2 minutes.
