Crack Wraps

Oh my! Tonight's dinner has become my family's BIG another winner! Another favorite meal of ours, Crack Wraps, definitely will make this sometimes!  Easy to make and healthy - one wrap is 276 calories.

ENJOY few of the recipes I posted below:




CRACK WRAPS




Make 4 wraps (we double the ingredients as we are family of 6)

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4  La Hacienda de Peas Tortillas (see recipe below on how to make this)
  • 1  cup Crazy Good Hummus (see another recipe below on how to make this)
  • 1 to 2 ounces shredded or sliced non-dairy Swiss or mozzarella cheese (Daiya mozzarella shreds)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of melted vegan margarine (Earth Balance)

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Spread your tortilla or wrap with a generous amount of hummus and top with cheese. Tuck both ends of the tortilla up and roll like a burrito.
  3. Brush the outside of the wrap with a light coating of melted margarine or a quick blast of cooking spray. Grill wrap on both sides until the outside is toasted and the cheese has melted.

  4. On a floured board, roll the dough flat (as thin as possible).
  5. Place the tortilla in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat, cooking until slightly golden and puffed on each side, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.  Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. Store the finished tortillas in the oven on the lowest setting, covered with clean damp tea towels until ready to use.
