You can make your own wraps for tortillas. These wraps can also be used for making wrap type sandwiches, with cold cuts, lettuce, mayo, tomatoes ect. The trick is getting the pan the right temp, and once you figure it out, write down the setting for your stove, and pan in the recipe.

Soft Tortilla Wraps

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup hot water

Add the flour into a bowl, add the olive oil, and ten pour on the hot water. Stir until formed into a dough ball. While still warm but not hot, knead the dough for 3 – 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and set to rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 pieces by forming a round ball, then flatten it, and cut the pieces into pie shaped wedges. Form the wedges into balls, and then roll the balls out into a flat and round wrap. Have your fry pan heated up to medium heat or slightly warmer, and when water sizzles and jumps around on the pan, the pan is hot enough. Cook the wrap on one side until parts of it puffs up in the pan, and then flip it over and cook the other side for 30 seconds. If the wraps are overcooking before they bubble, the pan is too hot.

Tortilla Wraps Filling

1 1/2 pounds of ground meat

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 cups chopped onions

(medium chop)

2 cloves of garlic finely chopped

1 can black beans (drained)

1/2 cup tomato paste or one small can

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoon chilli powder

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons sea salt (or less to taste)

Soft tortilla wraps

grated cheddar cheese (old)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Fry the ground meat in the oil in a fry pan, add the chopped onions and garlic. Add all the remaining ingredients except the tortilla wraps and cheese. Allow to cook until the onions are softened, and all the flavors are blended. Spoon two large spoonful onto each wrap and top with cheddar cheese, roll and place seam side down in a baking dish. When you are done, top with more grated cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees, until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Serve.
