Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 2 servings (plus additional hummus and vinaigrette)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1/2 red onion, sliced
Three 14.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon tahini
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large spinach tortilla
1 jarred roasted red pepper, sliced
3 canned artichoke hearts, halved
2 cups mixed salad greens
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • For the onions: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the red onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until soft and deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool slightly.
  • For the hummus: Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas, tahini, cumin, garlic, lemon juice and some salt in a blender. Pulse until the mixture becomes somewhat smooth and combined, but do not overmix. Add 1/2 to 1 cup cold water as needed to facilitate blending and reach the desired consistency. Add the olive oil and pulse a few more times just to incorporate. Taste and add more cumin, salt or garlic if needed. Pour the hummus into a bowl and stir to ensure it's combined. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • For the balsamic vinaigrette: Shake together the oil, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a Mason jar. This makes more than you'll need for 1 wrap; store the rest in the fridge and use for another salad.
  • For the wrap: Grill the tortilla on a grill pan over medium heat just until it has grill marks on the outside, 1 minute. (If you don't have a grill pan, just use a skillet.) The tortilla should still be soft and pliable, with just a little bit of color! Let the tortilla cool slightly.
  • To assemble the wrap, spread about 1/4 cup of the hummus down the middle third of the tortilla. Arrange the cooked onions and roasted red peppers all over the hummus. Add the artichoke heart halves. Toss the salad greens in 1 tablespoon of the balsamic vinaigrette, then lay them on the wrap. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta all over the greens. Carefully wrap up the tortilla, tucking in the ends. Slice the wrap down the middle, share with a friend and chow down!

HOMEMADE DUMPLING WRAPPERS



Homemade Dumpling Wrappers image

From-scratch dumpling dough requires only two ingredients - flour and water - and the water temperature yields different types of wrappers. Cold water is best for boiled dumplings because it causes the flour's proteins to form the gluten that makes dough chewy and able to withstand vigorously boiling water. Hot water denatures flour's proteins, resulting in dough supple enough to roll very thin and into tender wrappers ideal for pan-fried and steamed dumplings, such as chile crisp dumplings. The hot water for this dough should be hotter than warm and cooler than boiling and can come from the faucet's hot tap. Letting the dough rest allows it to more fully absorb the water and relax, which will make rolling even easier.

Time 45m

Yield About 35 wrappers

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 1/3 cups/305 grams all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
3/4 cup/180 milliliters hot water

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a large bowl and set the bowl on a damp kitchen towel so it won't slip. Add the hot water in a steady stream while stirring with chopsticks or a fork. Stir until all the flour is hydrated and the mixture becomes shaggy. Let stand until cool enough to handle, 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Use your hands to gather and knead the shaggy mass into a ball in the bowl. Turn out onto a work surface and knead until slightly elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. The dough should be tacky but not sticky, and it won't look completely smooth. If it sticks to the surface, flour the work surface lightly and continue kneading. Knead into a ball and cover loosely with a clean damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let stand for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • Divide the dough in half. Roll one piece to a 1/16-inch thickness. You shouldn't need to flour the surface while rolling, but do so if the dough is sticking. Once the dough is thin enough, lift it off the surface, flour the surface lightly, and place the dough back down. Cut out 3 1/2-inch rounds as close together as possible, then gather the scraps and cover the rounds with the damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining dough and knead those scraps with the first batch of scraps, then let rest for 5 minutes before rerolling and cutting. (See Note for a more traditional way to roll the wrappers.) Use the wrappers immediately for dumplings, such as chile crisp dumplings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: For wraps, it's best to use large, soft tortillas that are pliable and won't tear easily. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, or whole wheat tortillas are all good options.
  • Keep your ingredients fresh: Fresh ingredients will make your wraps taste their best. Use crisp vegetables, ripe fruits, and flavorful cheeses and meats.
  • Don't overload your wraps: Too many ingredients can make your wraps difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart. Aim for a balanced filling that includes a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Be creative with your fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to fillings for wraps. Get creative and experiment with different combinations of ingredients to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

Wraps are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the tips above, you can make perfect wraps every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give wraps a try!
