I wanted to make baked burritos oringinally which would have fit the box better on account of being rolled up and sealed by lovely melted cheese. But my kitchen was a mess and I kicked myself to clean it up instead, so I didn’t have time for that… so wraps it was!
They are filled with red kidney beans, onions and corn in tomato sauce (what I had originally planned to put in the burritos), and salad leaves. Sprinkled on top is grated cheese, bell pepper pieces (for color) and a dab of avocado-yoghurt dip. On the side we have roasted veggies from last night’s tortilla dinner, a kitty with more avocado dip and grapes.
I think that this recipe is even mostly glutenfree, since I used corn tortillas for the wraps. But I’m not entirely familiar with glutenfree – what do you think?
You think that big thing can’t actually really fit the box? Well, I managed to fit it all in actually! But it wasn’t as cute lying down anymore, which is why I took the nice arranged picture. I guess I cheated a little there… the wraps are actually wrapped rather loosely, and toothpicks helped me hold them together in the box and for easier eating. (You can see that one wrap is already falling apart by the time the picture was taken…)
See here how it looked after lying them down in the box:
The kitty had to move outside the box though, it was mainly there to support the wrap for the photo.
All wrapped up!
Cheater! No bento for you! *swipes bento for self* OHOHOHOHOHOHO!
Seriously though, I can relate. There are times when I have to *whispers* press down with my bento cover, ala packing extra large suitcases. Still, sticking that wrap upright makes for a prettier, more appetizing photo, so I say, “cheat” away :D
