Beetroot Wraps
What it is
These are thin, pliable flatbreads made with beetroot incorporated into the dough. The beetroot gives them a distinctive pink or reddish hue and a subtle earthy sweetness. They are designed to be a colorful and flavorful alternative to traditional tortillas or wraps, adding visual appeal and a unique taste to meals. They are pre-cooked and ready to be filled and eaten.
How people cook with it
Beetroot wraps are versatile for creating quick and easy meals. They can be used for both savory and sometimes even sweet fillings.
- Rolled with fillings for lunch
- Cut into pinwheels for snacks
- Used as a base for open-faced bites
- Wrapped around grilled vegetables
To use, gently warm the wraps before filling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear. This can be done briefly in a dry frying pan, in a microwave for a few seconds, or wrapped in foil in a low oven. Once warmed, spread your chosen fillings evenly over the surface, avoiding overfilling. Fold or roll the wrap tightly around the contents. They are excellent for packing in lunchboxes or serving as a light meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard wheat tortillas, these beetroot wraps offer a vibrant color and a slightly different flavor profile due to the inclusion of beetroot. They are typically thinner and may have a softer texture than some corn tortillas. The earthy notes of the beetroot complement a variety of fillings.
