Tortilla wraps!

What better thing to roll food up in and munch on.

I’ve had a request for some recipe ideas for things to put in wraps, but first I thought it’d be good to show you how to make your own wraps, it’s not as hard as you might think.

Ingredients (makes about 8 wraps)

• 400g self raising flour
• 1-2 tsp salt
• About 50ml olive oil
• 300ml warm water

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Sieve
• Rolling pin
• Frying pan
• Sieve (optional)

Prep and cooking (10-15 minutes)

1. First sift the flour into a mixing bowl, add the salt.
2. Add the oil to the warm water, now pour over the flour and mix with your hands until a dough is formed, if it’s too wet put some more flour on your hands.
3. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.
4. Cut into 8 equal pieces, roll them out into tortillas, I find it easier to do it just before cooking as the start to shrink when you stop rolling.
5. Heat a little oil to a medium heat in a pan, cook the tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until they start to brown.

I wrote a song but it’s more of a wrap

So there it is!

Whilst tortilla wraps are generally cheap enough (about £1 for 8, or around 12p each) making your own is even cheaper! (and more satisfying).

These homemade tortillas come in at a whopping 2p each, maybe 4-5p if you use fancy flour or olive oil, so you can get 6 for the price of 1!

I’ll be putting up some recipes for how to fill these tasty beasts soon so keep an eye out!
