How To Make: Easy Homemade Wraps. Image credit: Hangry.Recipes
These soft and flavourful homemade wraps will meet and exceed all your expectations. So much so, that you’ll never use store-bought wraps again after learning how to make these beauties from scratch with this easy recipe.
Turn the wraps into tacos, burritos, enchiladas or quesadillas with some Mexican-inspired fillings. They’re also perfect for on-the-go meals and sandwich wraps for packed lunches.
Because they keep well, they can be made in advance and warmed in the microwave or on the stovetop just before serving.
You need just six simple ingredients to make these homemade wraps: Flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, oil and warm water. Plus they’re amazingly easy to make! Just combine and mix the ingredients and then knead it into a soft, supple ball of dough.
You’ll know they’re cooking properly when you get small bubbles on the top side and light brown spots on the bottom.
To freeze, separate the wraps with waxed paper, place in a zippered bag and pop them into the freezer.
CHEF’S TIP
Give the dough a 15-minute rest after mixing and dividing. This helps relax the glutens which will make rolling the wraps much easier. If you try rolling out these tortillas and the dough keeps shrinking back, let it rest for another 15 minutes. The gluten just hasn’t had enough time to relax.
Try and roll them as thin as you can.
Let your wraps steam each other so they get nice and soft by stacking them up directly after cooking and covering them with a kitchen towel.
