Easy Peesy Wraps


You have to love wraps, unless you don't like tortilla's, then it's a little pointless. The combinations you can use to fill them are endless. Tuna, chicken, ham, sausage, shrimp..... and any kind of salad ingredient you like, I have personally used, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, and plain yogurt to dress them, I also tend to, but not always, toast my on my George Foreman, mostly because at times my rolling/wrapping skills have a lot to be desired. Admittedly, it's a little odd to toast your salad, but as I have said before, it's all about personal preference and nothing is wrong if you enjoy it.                      


Tuna Wraps  (makes 2)

2 handfuls of lettuce
1 tomato
1 egg
1 can of tuna
salt and pepper to taste
mayonnaise to smear over the tortillas

1. Chop the lettuce and the tomato into fine pieces, slice the egg, put the tuna into a bowl and season with a little salt and pepper.                                                                                                           

2. For each tortilla make two pieces of kitchen roll damp, and place the tortilla between the two pieces and place in a microwave for about 30 seconds, This will soften them making it easier to wrap.

3. Spread mayonnaise all over the wrap, from the centre outwards, to about a cm away from the edge of the wrap, place your filling ingredients on the tortilla along the right edge keeping on the mayonnaise, fold the right edge inwards then fold the bottom one up, tightly roll the wrap, once it's rolled tuck in the top.                                                                                                                       

4. If you wish, now is the time to grill your wrap on the George Foreman or similar style grill. 30 seconds is usually plenty long enough.
