Both Feta and Mozzarella cheese are a good source of calcium, just be careful on your amounts as all cheeses are high in fat and sodium!
When it comes to breads and wraps Whole-grain and Whole-wheat are always a better option than regular white bread! Still read your ingredients carefully, ingredients vary greatly, and some are unnecessarily high in fat and sugar.
