For people that just like to say, Chimichanga!
Oh, and YUM...

Preheat oven to 180c

(plus 4 flax wraps, recipe for this is on my blog)

cashew paste ingredients (blend together)

1 cup raw cashew nuts
1/4 cup warm water 

Rest of ingredients

1 small red onion (diced small)
1 medium red capsicum (diced small)
2 firm tomatoes (diced small)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 bunch of coriander (chopped)
1 tbsp smoked paprika
juice of one lime
salt and pepper to your desired taste




 1. Ingredients



 2. All ingredients prepped in a bowl ready to mix



 3. Mixed and ready to wrap up



 4. Place "cheese" mix in the centre of your flax wrap



 5. Ensure you tuck your sides then roll to keep all the goodness in. 



6. When all wrapped and ready grease a tray and bake for 15-20 minutes. I topped mine with my salsa also on my blog and avocado! These are EPIC. Taste like they really have cheese in them. You could add shredded chicken in them also.

ENJOY!

Flax Wraps






I have been mucking around with recipes for wraps since I began paleo...
BAM
She's a keeper. I dedicate this recipe to my first recipe funder as I know this will be a great staple to us all! 
Cheers

Ingredients...


(makes about 6 medium wraps)

1/4 cup egg white powder (I dont know why but its worked the best. Pick it up from any health food shop)
1 cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
1 3/4 cup water




 1. Ingredients 



 2. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz



 3. Should now look as above



 4. Set your heat at medium. I used coconut oil (in spay form) to grease after each wrap is cooked. Pour your mixture onto your already heated flat pan and move around to ensure you get a thin, round wrap. These do take a while to cook. Do not rush them. 



5. You'll know when your wrap is ready to flip when the edges are lifting off your pan. Be gentle when flipping. Once you have flipped your wrap it becomes much more pliable. Set them aside to cool and once cool they are ready.


These are AWSOME.
Eat them as a wrap, burrito, ENDLESS options!

ENJOY

4 tsp carob powder
1 tbsp dried cranberries
1 tbsp dried goji berries
1 tsp raw honey
1/2 cup boiled water



 1. Ingredients 



 2. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl



3. Mix well. Set aside for 5 minutes, and EAT...


I top mine with a little more almond milk!
FANTASTIC.
