Savoury Wraps

Cheesy Bean Quesadillas

INGREDIENTS:

Baked Beans, Cheese, Tortilla Wraps

METHOD: 

Heat some baked beans in a pan or microwave. Grate some cheese on one half of a wrap. Top with the beans, fold over and fry on each side for a few mins. Careful the beans can be very hot, so allow to cool before serving.

Black Bean Quesadillas

INGREDIENTS:

Black Beans – Drained, Cheese, Tortilla Wraps

METHOD:

Heat some black beans in a pan or microwave. Grate some cheese on one half of a wrap. Top with the beans, fold over and fry on each side for a few mins. Careful the beans can be very hot, so allow to cool before serving.

Ham & Cheese Roll Ups

INGREDIENTS:

Grated cheese, Ham, Tortilla Wraps

METHOD:

Sprinkle some grated cheese all over a wrap, place some ham on top. Roll tightly into a tube. Gently fry, rolling over to get all of it browned. The melted cheese should seal it, so it doesn’t open when eating.

Carrot & Hummus Wraps

Microwave a wrap for a few seconds (makes it easier to roll). Spread with some hummus and sprinkle over grated carrot. Roll to serve, closing each end first.

Save some extra beans, but do this until dish is full of rolled up wraps and beans. Spoon over some of the extra beans and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place under the grill until cheese is melted. Serve with salad or veggies and add jalapenos if you want!

Breakfast Burrito

Tortilla Wraps

Pretty much anything goes with a breakfast burrito – also, doesn’t have to be for breakfast. Scrambled eggs are a good base, then add everything and anything.

Personal favourites include, sausages, sautéed green peppers & mushrooms, layered in a wrap, sprinkled with grated cheese and rolled into a burrito.

Sweet Wraps

Banana & Peanut Butter/Nutella Quesadillas
