To make a wrap

Heat a wide frying pan on a medium heat, lay a tortilla on the pan, warm on one side for about 15-30 seconds, then turn over to warm the other side. This makes it soft and pliable.

To make a wrap

Lay the warm tortilla on a chopping board and arrange the filling in an approximately 5 x 12.5cm (2 x 5 inch) rectangle on the bottom half of the tortilla. Fold in the right and left edges, then fold the bottom edges over the filling and gently but firmly roll the tortilla over until the filling is completely enclosed.

Open Wraps: Proceed as above but only fold in one side initially; continue to roll until the filling is wrapped. Wraps can be made ahead of time, covered in plastic wrap or tin foil and refrigerated. Depending on the filling they can be reheated.

Suggested fillings:

1. Pieces of cooked chicken breast, iceberg lettuce, grated cabbage and carrot, and mayonnaise.

2. Crispy bacon, tomatoes, grated cheddar cheese and lettuce.

Let the children choose their favourite fillings and roll them up themselves. Here are some ideas for more ‘grown up’ fillings:

3. Crunchy lettuce, goat’s cheese, roast red peppers, pesto and prosciutto.

4. Crunchy lettuce, smoked salmon, cream cheese and dill, cucumber strips, freshly cracked pepper and a few crispy capers.

5. Crunchy lettuce, roast chicken, fresh herb stuffing, tarragon mayonnaise and sundried tomatoes.

6. Crunchy lettuce, spicy chicken, crème fraiche, cucumber pickle and coriander leaves.

7. Crunchy lettuce, strips of cheddar cheese, cucumber pickle, Ballymaloe Country Relish and spring onion.
