Wraps? About This Page:

Anyone have good recipes for wraps? The next few months are going to be complicated and I'm looking for some recipes that I can just throw together quickly. Crockpot is covered so I was thinking wraps could be filling and simple. But I only have 1 on my recipe archive.

I like to spead cream cheese on mine, then fill it with veggies - lettuce, cukes, some raw cauliflower, grape tomatoes, onions, shredded carrots, and sometimes I'll throw in some lunch meat, but not often. I usually get the roasted pepper wraps, since they give a great flavor.

My younger son loves just rolling up boloney and cheese. Do soft tacos count as a wrap? We love those.

DJ loves making pinwheels instead of wraps, but I kind of like the pinwheel recipe without cutting them into the little disks. Start with a spinach wrap, smear it with softened cream cheese (I like the reduced fat kind or the Laughing Cow Light cheese spreads.), add a slice of turkey and add whatever veggies you like.

I cut them into sticks and lay them so they'll be in the center so the wraps can be cut into pinwheels if DJ wants those, too. It's kind of like making rolled sushi. I'm going to try making some for our picnic next weekend with tomato-flavored wraps, mashed, roasted garlic instead of the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese (the really soft, fresh kind), and some spinach, artichokes, and roasted red peppers. Never made it before, so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Those sound amazing. I am really getting to where I crave vegetables more and more as I get older. So anything that is veggie heavy sounds good to me. Also trying to make sure my 2 yr old gets enough veggies is important to me.

I make Belts - Bacon, Eggs, Lettuce and Tomato. I make egg salad, and then add the tomatos, lettuce and bacon. The kids love them!

Sun-Dried tomato wrap with Roast Beef, Cheddar cheese and a mix of lite miracle whip and horseradish. YUMMO!

Also good is grilled chicken and ceasar salad makings with everything tossed in the ceasar dressing then wrapped up in whatever type wrap you like.

We make a lot of grilled vegetable wraps - at our supermarket the deli has a great variety of the vegetables already grilled or I have a grill pan which we make our own. We make a lot with chicken - add roasted peppers or sometimes we make yellow rice add some sauted onions and peppers and make "fajita wraps". Using different kind of marinades for the chicken also adds some new ideas...my daughter makes one with a citrus marinade and then grilled apples or manderin oranges...she adds mango or peaches sometimes...

I think wraps are great becuase you can really throw anything into them...

I make several but the best is a roasted red bell pepper in the processor
with soft cream cheese. After it's mixed, add this mixture to any wrap...I
use spinach or wheat, and put some turkey or ham on the wrap.

Also the roasted red bell pepper/cream cheese stuff make a great veggie
dip. You can find the roasted red bell peppers in a jar at the grocery store
if you don't have time to roast them yourself.

We love to use wraps for pizza!

We just lay the wrap out on a cookie sheet, and layer on the pizza sauce, cheese and whatever else......then bake them at 425 for about 9 minutes. YUMMY!

We generally use the whole wheat or sundried tomato wraps, but any kind will work!

You can also roll them up and slice them for parties....
