Three Delicious Wraps With Lettuce, Vegetables And Fruit

Wraps are a derivative of burritos. That is also the reason that they sometimes fall under the Tex-Mex category. In this article we would like to introduce you to three delicious wraps with lettuce. You should definitely try them out.

Usually wraps are made with a thin flour tortilla. Nowadays, however, a wide variety of wraps are made. Some varieties are especially good news for those of you who want to eat fewer carbohydrates.

It is believed that lettuce wraps are inspired by yabrak, sarma or dolma (made with grape leaves or cabbage). However, we cannot say that for sure.

We do know that these lettuce wraps are usually filled with fruits and vegetables. Sometimes they are also filled with legumes to make them extra nutritious.

Let’s take a look at some great recipes for these lettuce wraps.

3. Mini wraps with spinach and goat cheese

The following recipe is very easy to make. You won’t be in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes in total. So if you want a quick snack, this is a great choice. They also work well as an appetizer or side dish.

These are small wraps. So remember not to overfill them. After all, you won’t be able to roll them up.

We do not give you precise amounts in the recipe. After all, that will depend on how many people you want to make the wraps for.

As we have already mentioned, don’t use too much filling. You can always add filling if you want. However, it is not easy to remove the extra filling.

Ingredients

• spinach leaves
• Goat cheese
• Black pepper
• Grated apple (optional)
• Honey (optional)

Preparation

• First wash and dry the spinach leaves.
• Then add a little black pepper to the goat cheese. You can also add some honey if you want.
• Then you take a spinach leaf. Put a spoonful of the cheese in the tray. Spread it in a line in the center of the blade. This way the cheese won’t find a way out when you roll up the leaf.

• If you also want to add apple, only fill the wraps with a teaspoon of cheese or less.
• Use a skewer to prevent the wraps from falling open.

You can eat wraps cold at any time of the day. They are light and easy to make. Essentially, they are the perfect choice for people who are not really good cooks or who simply don’t have the time.

The secret lies in the ratio of the filling to the lettuce or spinach. The amount of sauce you add also plays a role. It can turn into a pretty mess if you add too much. Of course you can add as much as you want!
