Tortilla wraps snack bites



















I needed some snack for my guests and I thought- why not some tortilla wraps? They're easy to make, delicious, and can be made ahead in time. Plus, they look lovely. Why not try this out?

Type of dish: starter
Cost: medium
Difficulty:  easy
Time:  15 min
Serves: 4-8
Preparation time: 15 min

What you need to make this dish:
Cutting board, 2 plates , sharp knife,  regular knife, cling film

Ingredients:
  • 3 tortilla wraps
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 box of cream cheese of any kind
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 bell pepper
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 3 slices of ham
  • 6 lettuce leaves ( arrugula, lamb lettuce, crinkled lettuce or romain, any kind)

How to prepare:

Spread out some cling film, around 30 cm. Take a tortilla and bend it inside one way then the other. This way you'll see which way it's easier to fold so the tortilla doesn't break. Place it that foldable side up on the cling film. Take the cream cheese and spread it all over the tortilla, to the sides in a even layer. Cut the cucumber, pepper and tomato in slices. Remove the seeds from cucumber and tomato (if you don't your tortilla will get soggy.) Rip the lettuce leaves lengthwise and put them in the middle of the tortilla. On that, place the veggies , then fold a slice of ham on the veggies. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top. Now start rolling the tortilla, so the stuff you just put on is tucked away in the tortilla blanket. Yum. Now fold the cling film over the tortilla so it doesn't unfold, and put in the fridge for 10- 15 min, or until you need to serve. Or just cut in 2-4 cm slices and serve straight away. Go for it!
