Wraps are a great alternative to sandwiches and are fun to eat too. Feel free to play around with the ingredients in the two recipes we\u2019ve given you. Almost anything can go into a wrap, so depending on what your child eats, you can also throw in the remnants of that chicken curry you made last night, with some crispy ice berg lettuce for example!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">CAJUN CHICKEN WRAPS<\/h2>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tbsp Cajun spice mix<\/li>\n<li>4 chicken breasts<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp <span style=\"color: #000000;\">cold pressed sunflower oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li>4 fresh sweetcorn cobs, steamed &amp; kernals cut from cob<\/li>\n<li>1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped (optional)<\/li>\n<li>zest and juice \u00bd lime<\/li>\n<li>8 flour tortillas\/wraps<\/li>\n<li>150ml\u00a0 soured cream, (or Greek style yoghurt),<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil<\/li>\n<li>Mixed salad leaves to serve w fresh coriander (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Directions<\/h3>\n<p>1. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the chicken. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the \u00a0chicken breasts and fry for 4 mins on each side until cooked through. Rest for 2 mins before thinly slicing. Alternatively grill the breasts then slice.<\/p>\n<p>2. Meanwhile, mix the sweetcorn with the chilli, lime zest and juice to make the salsa. Set aside until ready to serve.<\/p>\n<p>3. Warm the tortillas\/wraps in a pan\/directly over the gas. To serve, assemble each wrap by spreading with a little soured cream, then pile on some sliced chicken and add a spoonful of corn &amp; lime salsa.

Roughly chop the tomato, cut the cucumber into chunks and split and stone the olives (if using)<\/p>\n<p>2. Chop the flat leaf and leave aside to marinate in some olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>3. Now heat the tortillas\/wraps. If you have gas, put each one for 10 seconds on a lit gas ring &#8211; then turn it over quickly, using tongs, and heat the other side for another 8 seconds or so. The tortillas will be slightly charred in places, which adds a fantastic flavour. If you don&#8217;t have gas, warm a pan to a medium heat before quickly tossing in your tortillas one at a time. You don&#8217;t need to have any oil on the pan.<\/p>\n<p>4.Make a row of the filling down centre of each warm tortilla\/wrap. Now spoon the hummous on top. Fold in the sides to seal in the ingredients and roll up tightly to make a big cigar.
