Wraptastic!
I've been meaning to post some product reviews and never get around to it. So, here's the first one (that isn't wine).
Ezekiel 4:9 Wraps! They are made by Food For Life, a company devoted to making organic, yeast-free bread-products made from sprouted grain. Why sprouted? Well, sprouting grains increases the energy of a seed or grain, giving it back the living energy of a plant. This process releases enzymes, making the grain or bean or seed more digestible and easier to assimilate.
They are called Ekekiel 4:9 after the bible verse "Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and Beans and Lentils and Millet and Spelt and put them in one vessel and make bread of it." Now this is something I can believe! The best part of this combination is that these beauties are a complete protein. Hallelujah!
Ok now I am sounding like a commercial. I am not usually a pusher of products so when I find a company that I love, I sing it. One caution is that by nature, they are not as flexible as most wraps. They are found in the freezer section of most health food stores. Give them a chance to defrost before filling them and be gentle wrapping them up. It's worth it. Fill them with veggies and hummus for a simple lunch or dinner. I like to fill them with whatever I have and bake them up. Like this:
SWEET POTATO BURRITOS
you need:
4 medium size sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup cooked kidney beans or 1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
cumin
cayenne
salt and pepper
1 cup water
wraps (like Ezekiel 4:9)
old cheddar cheese (optional)
In a pan... saute onion and garlic until fragrant. Add beans and potatoes and spices (I'd say spice to taste...). Then add water slowly. You just want to make the consistency kind of mushy...but not watery.
Spread mixture onto wraps and roll up burrito style.
Bake in 350 degree oven until for about 10-minutes or until cheese is melted.
You can serve these with salsa or any toppings you'd like. YUM!
Take care,

Mmmmm....jesus burritos...
Where in Toronto can I purchase these wraps?
You can usually find them at a health food store. They are the cheapest at Sugar and Spice on Augusta. I have also seen them at the odd Loblaws.
