Mini Post: Let's wrap it up. I mean our food.
My favorite lunch is served in a wrap: leftovers - maybe hummus or a veggie burger - add a little avocado, some arugula, a little salty or spicy sauce, and I am delighted with the mix of flavors.
Here are some of my favorite wraps:
Traditional flour or corn tortillas. Just warm them up in an oven or microwave for a few seconds.
Rice paper wraps. These traditional Vietnamese wraps are stiff and brittle when they come out of the package, but just dip one in water for a few seconds, then lay it on a plate and load it with your favorite fillings. By the time you get all your ingredients on, you can wrap it up like a burrito.
Nori Sheets. Crisp your nori sheet carefully over a burner or in an oven until it's crunchy. Add fillings, roll up, and enjoy.
New twists on traditional wraps. From almond to jicama, you can find a variety of plant-based alternative wraps. Some will hold together better than others. I tried a spelt flour wrap recently, and it just fell apart when I tried to roll it up. I did find that I liked making it crispy in the toaster oven and using it like a cracker.
I have so many tips on how to eat healthier and feel great. Let’s Talk!
