It had been a long day in school and I was tired and hungry. It was definitely time for lunch. I looked in the fridge and nothing really seemed to go together. There was cream cheese, but no bagels; sliced turkey, but no bread. I didn’t have the brain power to put together something and so I contemplated instant noodles. That is, until I noticed the tortillas, and remembered the awesomeness of party wraps. They were always my favorite part of party platters, and that is the only place I’ve ever encountered them. Until today!
Party wrap for one
-1 flour tortilla
-sliced lunch meat (any will do, and multiple meats are tasty. I had turkey!)
-cream cheese
-lettuce or fresh spinach (I had spinach)
-Salsa (or you could do sliced tomatoes if you don’t want spicy)
-grated cheese
1. Heat tortilla for 30 seconds, to make it easier to bend.
2. Spread cream cheese on wrap, all the way to the edges.
3. Lay down your meats, but make sure one edge of the tortilla has enough exposed cream cheese that you can seal it up once you wrap it (the cheese acts as glue!)
4. Lay down your other ingredients in whatever order you’d like. Also you can add other ingredients. Sprouts are good in these, as far as I can remember.
5. Start rolling from the ingredient heavy side towards the exposed cream cheese side.
6. Slice into bite sized disks. My tortilla was big enough to make eight (including the ends). Sprinkle grated cheese on top of slices, or don’t.
