How to make tortilla wraps
Preparation:
Put all the ingredients for the dough into the mixing bowl and 2 min. / Knead dough stage.
Transfer the crumbly dough from the mixing bowl to the work surface (without flour) and knead together with your hands.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll into round dough balls.
Place them one after the other on the work surface, press flat with your hand and roll out thinly with a rolling pin.
Heat a frying pan and add the first patty.
Turn when the underside is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Bubbles will also form on the surface of the wrap, indicating that the wrap has expanded and baked.
As soon as this is the case, carefully turn the wrap with a spatula and bake the other side until golden brown.
It is important not to bake the wraps for too long so that they become soft and not too dry.
This usually takes 1 – 2 minutes, depending on the heat of the pan.
Then wrap them in a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Alternatively, you can place the wraps on a plate immediately after baking and cover them with a lid, for example, so that the moisture remains in the flatbreads and they don’t become hard.
Tip: If the wraps are prepared in advance, they can be stored in a freezer bag so that they can still be rolled up the next day.
For the filling, spread the wraps with herb cream cheese, place lettuce and vegetables of your choice in the middle, sprinkle with herb salt and roll up.
Make sure that the filling is evenly distributed and that not too much is filled in so that it can be rolled up cleanly.
Enjoy your meal!
