Tortilla Wraps? / recipes

Instead of a wrap I often have a filled pitta - easier to fill cos you just slice a little hole in the top and you've got a ready-made pocket.

Pitta breads are cheaper than tortillas anyway at 29p for 6 from Lidl!!

Just made the cheese and bean wrap I posted above, it was delicious. I used one red chilli, just finely grated through the ingredients and mixed it all up. Had red cabbage, granny smith apple and carrot all coarsely grated together for a side salad, nicely crunchy and sweet.

I try not to overfill them and put the filling at very edge of the wrap and wrap tightly from one side to the other. The I turn it over, cut it and wrap it in foil and stick it in the fridge overnight.

For fillings we like:

Grated Cheese & Marmite/Mayo/Onion (not altogether!)
Turkey/Chicken & Mayo
Ham & Soft Cheese
Tuna, Mayo & Sweetcorn

definative tortilla rolling guide:

1)Put filling in tortilla
2) Fold down top
3) Fold down bottom
4) Roll tightly
5) Lay join down on tin foil
6) Roll tin foil as above
7) Refridgerate

Best filling IMHO is mayo, grated cheese, chicken and avocado.

Quesdilas are yummy, but no good for taking to work really. To make a quesadila place one tortilla in a hot pan with no oil. Grate some cheese on top, top with another tortilla. When bottom tortilla starts to brown flip over and cook other side. Yummy Yummy

Overfilling is a problem (although very yummy and tempting, so a totally understandable mistake!;)). Not sure what kitchen facilities you have at work, but I always find that they are better filled fresh, if you can transport the filling in a tub with the wrap separately and fill just before you eat them. Otherwise, I find that wraps are much more pliable and less likely to crack if they are a warmed before filling (zapped very quickly in a microwave will do the trick!).:D

Dont roll them, put one in a dry frying pan, top with cheese, ham and some sweet chilli sauce then put another wrap on top. Cook till crispy then flip over. Remove and cut into four. Lovely! Works best with the smaller wraps I get from Costco as I dont have a large enough frying pan for the Discovery type ones.

I find that the healthy living type Tesco wraps are pretty good, softer than the standard ones and easier to roll, don't crack etc.

make up chilli con carne the normal way
roll into the tortilla wraps
lay in an oven dish
fry an onion with some garlic and herbs and add a tin of toms. simmer until reduced (or use passatta)
pour over the tortillas
sprinkle with grated cheese and cook in oven for 20 minutes.

Tortilla pie:

Layer tortillas with vegetarian or normal chilli like lasagne (but a bit wetter and in a flan tray or pie dish), top with grated cheese and bake in oven. Can dig out a specific recipe if anyone wants it from Australian low GI cookbook my Mum sent.

That is my "signature dish" :rotfl:

We call it Mexican Lasagne though
