Anybody got a recipe for wheat-free, perhaps corn only wraps - like corn tortillas really?

Thanks

cling film the night before seems to worth a try.

My first ones were with Asda tortillas, which seems to be abit on the dryside so kept breaking up when trying to roll, but bought some sainsburys ones last nite - just had it for lunch - they are very nice and soft and roll better and actually taste better! (luckily they were on offer for 2 pks for £1.60)

some of those options sound delish, thks

Did you give them 20secs in the microwave as thats makes them easier to wrap?

i'm not sure myself to be honest as i use dry beans which do need soaking and cooking but i know you can eat baked beans cold from the tin so maybe you can do that wit the other beans too

any canned beans will be ready to eat straight from the tin without any more preparation, unless you want them hot

you were definitely best to do that, no point in taking risks :eek:

the only beans you have to worry about are dried red kidney beans (& soya, but hardly anyone cooks them from the dried state at home) which need a 10-minute fast boil after soaking to destroy toxins. other dried beans are fine & the canned ones have had the bolinig already, so you're safe with them
