Looking for a quick lunch fix? These tortilla wrap recipes make it easy to have a healthy and easy lunch!
Tortillas are some of the most versatile types of wraps ever to have been invented by humankind, and that’s because they can be filled with most anything and they put up with quite a bit of abuse. Depending on their size and the way they are cooked, they can hold heaps of ingredients without breaking.
But many people tend to think of tortillas as a not particularly convenient type of food. In actuality, you can make anything you like with them. Best of all, you can even make the wraps at home and therefore use any healthy ingredients. In this way, you can also know for sure that what goes in your mouth is free of preservatives or artificial colors.
You can make tortillas either using a regular pan or one of the many electric tortilla presses available out there. It’s your choice.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the most creative tortilla recipes available today. Maybe they’ll give you a sense as to what this type of food can truly offer. Some of these suggestions are easy to make and take little to nothing in the way of the minutes you’ll spend in the kitchen. Moreover, you’ll even be able to take your food to work and enjoy a healthy meal instead of gobbling a fast-food meal when you’re in a hurry and on your lunch break.
Breakfast Roll-ups
You’ll only need peanut butter or Nutella and one or two bananas for this recipe. Slather some nut butter on the tortilla, place the banana in the center, and then roll everything up. Slice it into bite-size pieces, and you’re all ready to go.
Tortilla Hot Dog Wraps
There are two main ways of making this meal. You can either use an unfried tortilla to wrap a hot dog and a piece of meltable cheese, place everything in a pan and pop it in the oven for several minutes, or you can fry the tortilla and then roll everything else up in it. If you have an excess of tortillas (or hot dogs), this treat can be great once in a while with ketchup or mustard.
Chicken Fajitas
Everyone loves a fajita now and then. You can use chicken or seitan if you’re a vegetarian or vegan. You just have to grill the meat (or faux meat, depending on what you want to use), add steamed or grilled veggies, a little cilantro and a bit of guacamole, and you’ve got yourself a hearty and satisfying dish.
Fancy Brie and Pear Quesadillas
French cheese and tortillas don’t seem to get along, at least not at first sight, right? Actually, a tortilla is just like any other kind of wrap, so it works with any kind of ingredient you personally prefer. Slice some pears thinly and add generous chunks of brie to the tortillas. Place everything in the oven until the cheese starts to melt and you’re all set. If you like your pears cooked, you can saute them in a pan before putting everything in the oven.
