Mad About Wraps.

The Mexican wave.

The Bobster and I are always on the lookout for something scrumptious to add to our cooking repertoire and recently we've discovered the addictive qualities of wraps or as they are more professionally known...tortillas. Better late than never.

We had our first attempt at eating them a few weeks ago and as we instantly loved the idea of them, we introduced my folks to them as well, and yes, they like them. Eating Tortillas has so many great qualities and the best one is eating them with your hands. A fast food of the healthy kind.

Last week we took a selection of goodies ( including wraps ) to a grill party. Mainly to be certain of having something delicious and plant based to eat but also because we had left overs that deserved a better end than the bin.

The fillings we took were simple but did the trick. There were a few non-vegans at the party, secretly worried if they would get anything substantial to eat now that vegans were in their midst, holding on for dear life to their way of eating. Each to their own and hopefully the same applies to us as well.

Mum and I put the tortillas into the oven to warm and assembled the various bowls of fillings; sliced onions, tomatoes, avocados, spring onions, cold beans, vegan mayonnaise and at the request my husband, a tahin dressing.

We humbly put our food on one side of the table, wondering how much would be left over...well, as per usual the vegan offerings were finished before anything else as people were drawn to the colourful display along with discovering how much flavour plant based food has. Seconds were had, hardly a peep was heard apart from delighted munching and crunching. Brilliant, I love it when preconceived ideas crumble.

But best of all, is that having something different at a grill party gets people talking, thinking and considering how and what they eat. Even if they devote only one day or meal a week to eating vegan, the fuse is lit and burning bright.
