How come you could have eaten flour tortillas for over 40 years and never thought of making them with peanut butter and jelly?
My young friends Piper (4), Alden (7) and Reilly (9) recently taught me one of their favorite dishes – a wrap. First they explained what a “wrap” is – basically a flour tortilla, with good contents, tucked in at the edges and rolled up for easy eating.
In my corner of the woods, we’d pack it with lots of rice, beans, and salsa and call it a burrito. But since a flour tortilla is nothing more than a bit of flour and water (and some baking powder, salt, and shortening or lard), you could easily use it as a bread substitute.
Virtually anything that could fit in a sandwich could be wrapped in a flour tortilla. The favorite wraps for these young friends of mine? Actually two. One obvious one, the peanut butter and jelly wrap. The second one not so obvious, but believe me, extremely good – cream cheese, thinly sliced ham and carrots.
Do you have a favorite child-friendly packaging? Please let us know in the comments.
