17 Easy Recipes You Can Make with a Pack of Tortilla Wraps

You might think that tortilla wraps are a bit bland and boring but treat them right and they’ll reward you with delicious things like lasagnes, puddings and chimichangas. Yes, really. Here are 17 beautiful recipes you can make with a pack of tortilla wraps…

Pizza

Short on pizza dough? Don’t want to shell out on a takeaway? Then use a tortilla wrap instead. Seriously. This BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza from I Wash You Dry is topped with barbecue sauce, chicken and smoked gouda cheese. It cooks in 5-7 minutes.

Fajitas

Good old fajita night. Just fry your favourite meat and veg, add some sauce and wrap it all up in a tortilla wrap for a perfect DIY dinner. These Sizzling Chicken Fajitas from Smitten Kitchen are flavoured with lime juice, cumin, chilli and smoked paprika.

Sweet (or Savoury) Quesadillas

You can press most ingredients in a quesadilla - like leftover chilli, cheese and veggies or even fruit. These Peanut Butter Quesadillas come from the blog Budget Bites. Sprinkle in a handful of chocolate chips or toffee pieces too if you like, for a quick, crispy pud.

Enchiladas

Enchiladas. Proper comfort food. Tortilla wraps are filled with meat, veggies and tomato sauce and then baked with even more sauce (and cheese) on top. Check out these Easy Beef Enchiladas from Recipe Girl.

Cinnamon Tortilla Crisps

How’s this for a sweet, crunchy treat? These Healthy Cinnamon Tortilla Chips from the Spicie Foodie are baked, not fried, so they’re a bit healthier - you just scatter the spiced tortilla pieces onto an oven tray and bake until golden.

Soup

This Vegan Tortilla Soup from the blog Oh She Glows is packed with veggies, and sprinkled with crispy tortilla wrap strips. Some tortilla soup recipes tell you to fry the strips in oil until golden, but these ones are grilled. They’re a great idea for adding texture and crunch to your soups.

Snickerdoodle Wraps

Hands up who wants one (or two) of these? These Snickerdoodle Wraps, from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker, are just tortilla wraps filled with cream cheese and jam, lightly fried and then dusted with cinnamon sugar.

Waffled Breakfast Quesadillas

These look amazing, don’t they? They are Waffled Breakfast Quesadillas and they were created by Matt, from the blog Real Food by Dad. They’re filled with scrambled eggs and made in a waffle maker for that distinctive shape, which also helps seal them up. Brilliant. We’ll take two.

Lasagne

No pasta? No problem. Just layer up tortilla wraps with meat, sauce, veggies and cheese. Tracey, from the blog The Kitchen is My Playground came up with this Spicy Tortilla Lasagne with black beans and sweetcorn in it too.

Ice Cream Chimichangas

Chimichangas? Made with tortilla wraps? Yep - go make them now. These Ice Cream Chimichangas were made by Katerina from the blog Diethood. They’ll need a moment in the freezer before frying but then they’ll be crunchy - and soft and creamy in the middle. Yum.

Wet Burritos

A wet burrito is just a burrito filled with the usual stuff - meat, beans, lettuce, tomatoes - but it then has a sauce or gravy poured over it (along with a sprinkling of cheese) before being baked in the oven. Check out this Wet Burrito recipe from Heather at Girlichef.

Layered Breakfast Pie

More proof (as if we needed it) that tortilla wraps can be eaten for any meal, this Layered Breakfast Tortilla Pie is stuffed with eggs, tomato and cheese. It was made by Katerina of the blog Diethood and you can have it on the table in under half an hour. Definitely worth getting up early for.

Tortilla Bowls

Who’d have thought that you could make edible bowls out of boring old tortilla wraps? Well, Monica from The Yummy Life did. Bake them and then cool them down, filling with salad, rice or whatever you fancy. Even dessert…

Cinnamon Sugar Bowls

See? Told you. These Cinnamon Sugar Bowls from Two Peas and Their Pod can be filled with ice cream, fruit and whipped cream, frozen yoghurt, sundaes or whatever you fancy. Vanilla ice cream sundae with salted caramel sauce? Anyone?

Flautas

Flautas are tortilla wraps, filled, rolled up and then baked until crisp. Allyson, from the blog Domestic Superhero came up with this gorgeous recipe for flautas filled with black beans and sweet potato. And cheese. A good sprinkling of cheese. (Obviously).

Pinwheels

Pretty little pinwheels filled with turkey, lettuce, tomato and cheese. These are from the blog Baking With Blondie and they’re spread with a lovely spicy mayo flavoured with garlic, chilli and paprika.

Salad

You can scatter crisp tortilla slices over a soup, we know, but you could also add them to a salad for extra crunch as well. Kate, from the blog Cookie and Kate has come up with this lovely Feta Fiesta Kale Salad - with ingredients including feta cheese, cranberries, avocado and kale. She’s finished it off with crispy strips of corn tortillas and a jalapeño and lime dressing. Go try it out.
