| How To Wrap A Wrap Like Subway |
The Tools of the Trade:
- The Tortilla: Your canvas. Choose a sturdy variety like a flour tortilla. Think of it as a blank page waiting for your culinary masterpiece (or at least something that doesn't explode in your hands).
- The Fillings: Here's where the magic happens! Pile on the meats, cheeses, veggies, and sauces your heart desires. Just remember, with great fillings comes great responsibility. Overstuffing is a recipe for disaster (and potential shirt stains).
- The Wrapper (Optional): Foil or parchment paper, your choice. This is more for showmanship and keeping things tidy, but hey, a little presentation never hurt anyone.
The Wrap Whisperer's Technique:
- The Foldy Fold: Imagine the tortilla divided into thirds. Scatter your delicious fillings across the center third, leaving a decent border on the sides. Now comes the fun part! Fold the bottom third of the tortilla up and over the fillings.
- The Side Squeezy: Here's where the magic (and maybe some minor wrestling) happens. Gently fold both sides of the tortilla inwards, like giving your fillings a hug.
- The Royal Roll: The moment of truth! Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the wrap upwards. Think of it as tucking in your delicious burrito baby for a happy nap.
- The Grand Finale: For extra security, you can fold the ends of the wrap inwards. Now, with the confidence of a thousand Michelin-starred chefs, slice that baby in half diagonally and prepare to be amazed!
Pro Tip: To prevent rogue fillings from escaping, spread a little bit of your chosen sauce (mayo, hummus, you name it!) along the top edge of the tortilla before rolling. It's like a delicious security seal for your wrap masterpiece.

Troubleshooting: The "Oh No!" Moments:
- The Leaky Leak: Did your wrap develop a case of the sad dribbles? Don't despair! Invest in a slightly thicker tortilla or go light on the wetter ingredients.
- The Crumbling Catastrophe: Did your wrap crack under pressure? This could be due to a dry tortilla. Warm it up slightly in a microwave or pan for more flexibility.
Remember, practice makes perfect! The more you wrap, the more your technique will flow like, well, a perfectly constructed wrap.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
