I think the trick is not to try to do too much, foldwise. I lay the wrap on a piece of clingfilm, slather on condiments (salsa, sour cream, guacamole etc), lay meat and salad stuff up the middle (a fair heap), and just try to get the side edges to meet, or overlap just a bit. Don’t try to fold the bottom up or anything. Then wrap with the clingfilm to make it all hold and seal. When eating, just open one end and eat down. The juices leak out the bottom of the wrap, but the clingfilm should hold it all.
Simple. And now I am hungry, and it’s not lunchtime yet. :smack:
Yeah, store bought refries taste like poop, and try though I might, I can never cook up refries at home that taste anywhere near as good as even the most basic taqueria can make them. I gave up trying years ago and now just go to my favorite place and buy 'em. As long as you’re there, you can save time and pick up a little of the restaurant’s salsa, too.
This is making me want a very plain bean and cheese burrito for my lunch today.
Same here. I grab one in the morning. Add a can or 2 of soda if I think of it, add some fruit or pretzels if I think of it. Controlled portions, controlled cost. Some days (like today) I’ll go down to the company cafeteria (next building over) and get a big salad from the salad bar.
Can you try microwaving the wraps - just for a few seconds - before rolling things up? I find this makes them more pliable.
Personally, I like taking leftovers to work, but now that we have kids and a busy schedule, leftovers are always the next night’s dinner. So I rarely have anything like that to spare for mere lunches. I don’t mind having the same thing 2 meals in a row, though.
It’s the lard, baby! Which is why I personally don’t eat the creamy deliciousness that is restaurant refried beans: They make me mas gorda. I eat fat free refried beans on occasion, but there’s no way to delude myself that they taste anything like the authentic restaurant variety. But like so many other things that taste good, they are not good for you.
