To think wraps are shit?

That's not to say I don't like them, I do. I just cannot get to grips with making them. Any decent amount of filling and they don't wrap properly, unroll, fall apart. The ones that cone up on a fanjita kit are tiny, capable of holding 2 slivers of chicken and a cm of lettuce.

Am I going wrong, or aibu to think they are shit?

Always better than a baggy though tbf

I think you are just a bad wrapper.

Just finished Fajitas (out or a kit) kids favourite meal here.

You are doing it wrong 😀

Except if it gets wet!

KilledByHerOwnCardigan · 14/12/2019 17:20

You need bigger wraps.

OneDay10 · 14/12/2019 17:20

Theres a way to fold them. I recently learnt this, no spilling out.

TheHootiestChristmasOwl · 14/12/2019 17:21

DH finds me eating wraps hilarious as I put way too much filling in every time and never learn.

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/12/2019 17:22

We had fajitas last night. We all enjoyed them, except I kept having to rewrap, reassemble the children's ones. And couldn't get enough filing in mine!

Just buy the big wraps Confused

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/12/2019 17:24

@TheHootiestChristmasOwl yes, that's what I do, the "right" amount is paltry!

Yup, you're a bad rapper.
If you put a bit of sour cream or something on the edge it makes it stick.

‘Fanjita’ kit

Jeezoh · 14/12/2019 17:27

What’s your technique? I always leave an inch gap at the bottom then tuck that up before folding over the sides and they rarely go wrong.

EssentialHummus · 14/12/2019 17:27

Where might one find these fanjita kits OP? Asking for a friend.

jaseyraex · 14/12/2019 17:28

YABVU. Wraps are the best. You just need to change your wrapping technique and buy bigger wraps.

ClaraThePigeon · 14/12/2019 17:28

Buy the soft taco shells. They're much easier to eat.

AllergicToAMop · 14/12/2019 17:29

Screw wraps. I could never wrap them up properly too.
And that is why I crepe😂 bit thicker crepe, you can flavour them too and voilà! An easy to use wrap. I am testing whether they freeze well next.

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/12/2019 17:30

Good God. I picked up the tasty and mild fanjita kit from Sainsbury. Grin

Thought you were referring to the BIG scarf thinngies lol. Had a reply ready in my head but scratch that now!

SnuggyBuggy · 14/12/2019 17:31

I always fail to properly wrap the bottom and the filling spills over me

hsegfiugseskufh · 14/12/2019 17:31

Put cheese and ham in them and put them in a panini maker. they're amazing and they dont fall apart because the cheese sticks it together.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 14/12/2019 17:32

Your technique is lacking.

Take wrap. Place filling in middle. Fold in from right. Fold in from left. The two edges should have a small gap between. Fold up from bottom. Fold down from top (the edges should mostly overlap).

Eat.

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 14/12/2019 17:45

You are right!

The ones in the kits hold less than a mouthful. We always buy extra wraps.

And now I fancy fajitas . . . .

venusandmars · 14/12/2019 17:45

But then you've got mostly wrap, and not much filling (which is the tasty bit)

SpaceCadet4000 · 14/12/2019 17:49

Warm the wraps before you wrap them, and also learn the proper folding technique.
