Seven ways to use wraps/tortillas

I have so many wraps in the freezer at the moment and winning another pack in the SoW basket has made it even worse.  So I think wraps will feature heavily in my planning for a few weeks.

The wraps I use count as a healthy fibre choice on Slimming World

1.  Breakfast wrap.
Cook bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.
Whisk up an egg or two and pop it in a suitably sized pan (big enough to take the wrap).  As the egg starts to set, lay the wrap on top and let the egg finish cooking.
On the egg lined wrap lay the cooked things.  You can add cheese and/or sauce, pickles, baby spinach whatever you fancy.
Wrap it all up and eat straight away or you can lay the rolled up wrap back in the pan to crisp up a bit before eating

2.  Make 'crisps'. 
Cut the wrap into wedges, spray with a little oil and crisp them up in an air fryer or in the oven.
Eat them with a dip like hummus or with soup, a salad side or just as a snack with salt or other seasoning sprinkled on

3.  Hummus rainbow wrap

4.  Wrap pizza
On the wrap spread pizza sauce (Mutti does a good one) and any toppings you fancy, including cheese.  Pop into the oven to melt the cheese and heat the toppings and enjoy with a salad.
Remember to count/swip as necessary.

5. Quesadillas.  Instead of me waffling on, take a look at this collection from BBC Good Food - some delicious sounding ideas there.

6.  As a filled wrap/burrito.
Lay fillings on the wrap and roll up.  Beans, cold meat, salad stuff, mayo, salad cream or other sauce.  Here's a few idea links.

All from BBC Good food but there are recipes all over the place.

7.  A sort of cannelloni
Roll the wrap round a hot filling such as chilli, savoury mince, chicken fajitas, etc.  Add veg as wanted.
Cut in half and place in an oven dish, spoon over a heated spicy tomato sauce and sprinkle over grated cheese.  Bake in air fryer or oven until it's bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.


I'll definitely be using some of these ideas as I work through my overabundance of wraps.
