| Flour tortilla turkey roll-up ideas??
Posted: 5/31/2008 1:56:13 PM | | Hi all. I just came from a wedding shower and they had the best turkey roll-ups but they bought them from a store. There was smoked turkey, maybe shredded carrots and some kind of cream cheese in it. Not a lot of seasonings, which I liked but there was something in it that made it a little sweet. Don't know what it was. Anyone have any good recipes using flour tortillas? | |

Posted: 5/31/2008 2:36:49 PM | Yes... cranberries. Actually Craisins, the dried cranberries chopped and mixed into the cream cheese. I worked in a kitchen that did these by the tray-
Easy method:
For 8oz Philly brand Cream Cheese...
Add 2 Tbsp fine chopped craisins.
Add 1 tsp honey
Mix well. (I use the processor- efficient, not lazy)
On a flour tortilla, spread a thin layer of the cheese, layer on a slice of smoked turkey, another thin layer of the cheese, add some toothpick-julienned carrot and pipe on a 1/4" thick line of the cheese, then roll. Use a bit of the cheese to "glue" it shut. then Cut into about 1" slices in a diagonal.
Options: you can add other veggies to the mix- toothpick julienned celery, zucchini, jicama, daikon radish, a single blanched spear of asparagus... or use other meats, or NO meat at all, just cheese- thin-sliced provolone or sharp cheddar have interesting contrasts to the sweet cream cheese.

Posted: 5/31/2008 11:51:29 PM | Ok, I have an idea.........forget the tortilla and just roll up meat.
medium sliced turkey or ham, not too thin, or too thick
Smoked turkey rolled around cream cheese and green onion seems to go faster than I can make a tray full. I love them for lunch too, but no matter where I serve them and for how few, there is never enough and I never start with less than 2# of meat.
I also do boiled ham slices (use your favorite type ham) with a garlic dill pickle and a mustard I make of deli brown whole seed mustard with horseradish and maple cream mixed in. To your taste on both. These are also big favorites.
Proscutto di Parma with melon
Spicy dry salami with a sharp smoked cheese spread and red or golden raisins, or craisins, or even fig, or date
thin smoked salmon with soft brie and dill weed
If you absolutely must have a wrap, look at this menu, it is one of the best American Style wrap restaurants I have ever seen, oh and also the second one. I like them both. I am sure they won't care if you steal their ideas LOL

My personal favorite when talking wraps would be Japanese hand rolled sushi roll. I love the spicy salmon skin roll with spider (fried soft shell crab). Not that they aren't all hand rolled, but hand rolled refers to a cone shape rolled with the bare hands as opposed to a tight round or square roll that is usually done with the help of an aid like a bamboo mat. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 2:56:25 PM | Saw this is in the paper this morning and thought of this thread. Of course it's all promoting products:
Greek Chicken Wraps
1/2 pkg Tyson Grilled Chicken Breast Strips
1/2 cup packed Fresh Express Baby Spinach
1 tbsp Marie's Greek Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 cup Cara Mia Marinated Artichoke hearts
2 tbsp California Sun Dry Sun Dried Tomato Spread
1/4 cup kalamata olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 spinach flavored tortillas
Spread tortillas with 1 tbsp tomato spread each. Divide chicken strips, baby spinach, artichoke hearts feta and olives evenly between tortillas, arranging ingredients in the center of the wrap. Drizzle with the Greek dressing and fold wrap around fillings tucking in one end. Makes 2 servings.
Wellllll...it sounds very good but I sure wouldn't use most of these products to do it.
I'm guessing the chicken is already cooked AND cut into strips. I think it could all be adapted very easily. The basis would be a little bit of leftover chicken, shredded or cut into strips; 1/2 cup spinach leaves or chard probably from my garden and cut or torn into bite sized pieces; the greek dressing is essentially oil and lemon juice with salt, garlic and oregano; sun dried tomatoes in oil, pulverized to a paste with some of their oil ought to take care of that part; and any tortilla or wrap ought to work well. Rolled up as they suggest is more of a cold burrito. I'd roll it and cut it on the diagonal in to serving sized pieces.
Enjoy

Posted: 6/1/2008 3:29:00 PM | Think of your favorite sandwich fillings...
ham and cheese, roast beef and cheese, pastrami and cheese, turkey and cheese.
My grocery chain now makes flour tortillas wraps in chitpole, tomato&basil, spinich, and wheat flavors.
Smear on your favorite condiment...spicy brown mustard, yellow mustard, mayo, cream cheese, ect. The store I shop at also carries chitpole, and lime flavored mayos.
Layer on meat and cheese, roll up and cut in fours. set on end on a platter. Serve with dipping sauce and crunchy veggies and chips. | |

| Yes I do have flour tortilla roll-up receipe
Posted: 6/3/2008 12:31:14 PM | All you have to do is make sure you warm up your tortilla for a few seconds to make sure they are nice and pliable. Then spread on some honey dill sauce and sour cream and chopped veggies and lettuce and then what ever meat you like. Then roll and refrigerate them.
Another idea is to spread them with a little cream cheese and then sour cream, tuna mixed with mayo and then add vegies of your choice.
You can also use sour cream and cream cheese and salsa and green onions, chopped peppers, shredded cheese, I use cheddar and you have a Mexican version.
Hope you enjoy some of these. We eat alot of this stuff in the summer. | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 4:13:56 PM | I'm usually never anywhere near a Dairy Queen but today I was at lunch time , so I had their new Chicken Wrap--it was very, very good. I think DQ's food is straightforward, no pretention. Here's all it was: tortilla, spread with a minute amount of ranch dressing, 1 strip of boneless chicken breast (can get it either fried or grilled) a peice of romaine lettuce and a minute amount of good cheddar cheese (they use real cheese at DQ). Rolled up and heated. That's it. It was very nice. I'd do this one at home.
A tortilla can hold anything you'd put in a sandwich. My Mexican friends do PBJ's for their kids in tortillas. They also do just honey and cinnamon sugar rolled up as a quick dessert, grilled or just warmed.

Posted: 6/5/2008 1:50:48 PM | I found the recipe for these roll ups but they are still missing the all elusive sweet part. Here's what I did.
10 flour tortillas
1 pkg cream cheese
1 cup shredded asiago cheese
spinach lettuce
1lb smoked turkey
smokey sweet pepper seasoning
about 3 squirts honey mustard
Mix everything but spinach and turkey together. Spread mixture on tortilla and layer spinach and turkey on top. Roll and cut into 5 pieces. Makes 50.
These are wonderful but still not quite it. Mom said she got them at a store here called the Andersons. It's a party tray with 40 for $34. They said I could order 20 for $18 but I made these for $14 and got 50. | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 2:28:11 PM | Smoked turkey breast
Sharp Cheddar
Raspberry Preserves
Bacon
Spinach
That is one of my favorite combos for a wrap. I use soy flour/wheat wraps instead of white flour tortillas though because I go for low carb. | |
