Wraps!


Quick Dinner? Or Just the need to prepare something cool and fast?...Wraps are a delicious answer.

*The Burger Wrap:

Ingredients:
-Burgers. (I recommend "Atyab" or "Almara3i")
-Mozzarella Cheese.
-Onions.
-Bell and Red Peppers.
-Diced Tomato.
-Mayonnaise.
-Ketchup.
-Tortilla (Sold in supermarkets and "Darb Elbarabra").
-Salt and pepper.
-Olive Oil.

Steps:
-Cut your onions and bell peppers julienne, and mix them with few drops of olive oil, and some salt and pepper.
-On a grille or in a pan, heat few drops of olive oil, and then put your burgers to cook for few minutes, and aside put the onions and bell peppers as well.
-Do not burn your onions, just wait few moments till they wither and change colour, and get them out of the pan. Also the bell peppers do not have to be fully cooked, just a bit grilled, to maintain some of their crunchiness.
-Now having everything cooked, get your tortilla ready, spread onto it mayonnaise on the side, then some ketchup.
-Add the diced tomatoes, then put some of the grilled vegetables.

-Cut your burgers into big slices, and add them on top of your stuffing.
-Finish the stuffing with some mozzarella cheese on top, and roll your tortilla now.

-Get a panini grill/regular grill/toaster, and put your rolled wrap now, and let it change colour for few minutes.

Et Bon Appetit.



More Wraps?

*Sausage Wrap:
-Same steps as the Burger wrap. Grill your sausages, add some grilled onions and bell peppers as well. Cut the sausages, and start layering the tortilla. Add barbecue sauce to the tortilla instead of ketchup.

*Spicy Crispy Chicken Wrap:
-Do you have crispy chicken? Fry them, cut them into chunks, get fresh lettuce, and fresh tomatoes, and smoked turkey..and add mozzarella cheese and roll your wraps. Add chili. It is just like KFC wraps!!

*Grilled Chicken Wrap:
-You have leftovers of chicken? Perfect. Cut them into slices. Get some chopped onions, bell peppers, and olives. Start to cook the vegetables for few minutes, adding  salt and pepper and few drops of soy sauce. Spread sour cream onto your tortilla, then add the chicken and the cooked vegetables. Roll and into your panini grill.


Side Notes:
-Be Creative: Try adding olives, pickled cucumbers,  coloured peppers, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese to any of your wraps upon your desire!

Yummy Grilled Chicken!

Sheesh Tawooq? Grilled Chicken? Name it whatsoever, it's just tasty and quick! AND PRO-DIET!

Ingredients:

*Boneless Chicken.
*Yogurt.
*Carry.
* Turmeric.
*Garlic Salt (Instead: you can use minced garlic or garlic powder and regular salt)
*Ground Black Pepper.
*Oregano and Thyme.
*Olive Oil.
*Chili. (optional, you can add paprika instead)
*Onions
*Bell Peppers.
*Tbsp. of tomato paste (optional)

How is it done?
1-Clean your chicken and cut it into big cubes.
2- Get a big bowl and put into it the following: Yogurt, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, thyme, oregano, chili, carry and turmeric, with the tomato paste, and mix quite well.
3-Marinate the chicken over night or for couple of hours in this bowl.
4-Cut you onions into big rings, as well as your bell peppers julienne. Mix them with a tbsp. of olive oil and a small pinch of salt.
5-Get the tray you'll pop into the oven, cover it with your cut onions and bell peppers.
6-Now put your marinated chicken, get it out of the yogurt sauce.
7-Cover your tray with aluminum foil, and let it cook for a while.
8-When the chicken seems to be cooked, remove the foil cover, and turn your oven into broil to give the chicken a nice colour now.
9-Serve it with sour cream and tortilla.

et Bon Appetit.

Side notes:
*You can just not cut it into cubes if you wish too. And do the same steps.

*You can put it onto the grille.

*Instead of the oven and grille, get a pan with a small piece of butter, and grill the chicken in it. Heat it really up first, add your chicken a min. for each side so as to get a goldish colour, then lower the heat temperature, and let it cook for a while.

*You can add the cubes onto skewers, et Voila it's Sheesh Tawooq!

*Instead of sour cream and tortilla, have it with pasta, rice or even bread!

*Garlic Salt? It's different than garlic powder (you can add that too) but it's just like salt with garlic flavour. As said above, if it's not available use garlic, or garlic powder and regular salt. But if you find garlic salt, it's so yummy in the food.!

*Trick: After cooking, try getting a piece of charcoal, heat it up, get a piece of foil, and add a bit of oil in there and put it in the middle of your chicken tray, set the heated charcoal in the foil wrap, and cover the whole tray. The charcoal fumes will give a nice grilled taste to your chicken.
