Choose a tortilla you can fill and roll, then match its ingredients, size and pack count to the breakfasts you plan to make. Compare declared fibre if that matters to you, or look for a specifically labelled gluten-free tortilla if you need to avoid gluten; a speciality name alone does not establish a nutritional advantage.
A soft tortilla gives you a base for a filled, rolled breakfast. Consider the size you want to fill, whether the wrap can be served cold, and how many mornings you can cover with one pack. The NHS includes a wholewheat-tortilla breakfast burrito among its recipes, but a filling that needs cooking still takes preparation.
Compare the declared fibre alongside each wrap’s weight rather than relying on words such as wholemeal or seeded. Ocado lists 4.5 g of fibre per 62 g M&S Wholemeal wrap and 5.1 g per 62 g M&S Seeded wrap; those figures apply to these particular products.
Look for a gluten-free statement on the particular tortilla and check its ingredients and relevant allergen information, along with those of the filling. Mission’s Sourdough Wraps list wheat and rye, so a sourdough description is not a gluten-free indication.
Start with how you will assemble and carry breakfast, then compare the exact packs for nutrition, ingredients and instructions after opening.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast format | Choose a tortilla size that accommodates your planned filling and can be rolled. Check the serving directions if you will eat it without heating the wrap; Ocado lists the M&S Wholemeal and Seeded variants as suitable warm or cold. | I want a breakfast I can fill and carry. If the filling needs cooking, I can prepare it before I leave rather than assuming the whole meal is instant. |
| Fibre and serving size | Compare fibre per wrap together with wrap weight, or use the per 100 g declarations for different sizes. Ocado lists 4.5 g per 62 g M&S Wholemeal wrap and 5.1 g per 62 g M&S Seeded wrap; Old El Paso lists 1.4 g per 36 g gluten-free tortilla. | Fibre matters to me, but a 36 g tortilla and a 62 g wrap are different-sized servings. I would compare their declarations on a consistent basis. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the specific tortilla’s gluten-free statement, ingredient list and relevant precautionary information. Mission Sourdough Wraps contain wheat and rye; Old El Paso identifies its six-pack Gluten Free Tortillas separately from its other tortilla styles. | If I need to avoid gluten, I cannot decide from the words corn or sourdough alone. I also need to check the filling and the pack I receive. |
| Pack use | Match the wrap count to planned breakfasts and follow that pack’s storage directions. Ocado’s M&S Wholemeal and Seeded listings specify an airtight container and use within two days of opening, with separate freezing instructions. | A pack needs to fit how often I make wraps; if I will use them less often, I should check whether the particular pack can be frozen. |
Seeded, sourdough and gluten-free tortillas can have different ingredients and serving weights. A name alone does not tell you how their declared fibre compares.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients and compare nutrition per wrap alongside wrap weight, or per 100 g when sizes differ.
Ocado’s M&S Wholemeal and Seeded listings instruct shoppers to keep opened wraps airtight and use them within two days, unless following their separate freezing directions.
Choose a count that fits your planned breakfasts, and check the freezing directions on the pack if you intend to keep wraps longer.
Mission’s Sourdough Wraps list wheat and rye. A grain or flavour description is not a substitute for a gluten-free statement on the specific product.
If you need to avoid gluten, inspect the tortilla pack’s label and relevant allergen information, then check any filling separately.

A labelled gluten-free tortilla option for a filled breakfast wrap. The pack contains six tortillas; Old El Paso lists 36 g and 1.4 g of fibre per tortilla. Check the pack’s ingredients and allergen information, as well as those of your filling.
Not necessarily: Ocado lists the M&S Wholemeal and Seeded wraps as suitable warm or cold. Follow the directions on your particular tortilla, and prepare any filling that needs cooking separately.
Follow the instructions on your pack. Ocado’s M&S Wholemeal and Seeded listings specify an airtight container and use within two days of opening, with separate directions for freezing and defrosting those variants.
No. Mission’s Sourdough Wraps list wheat and rye, and a corn description alone does not identify a product as gluten-free. If you need to avoid gluten, check the specific tortilla’s gluten-free label, ingredients and relevant allergen information, along with the filling.
