2 Ways Sandwiches, Paninis, Toasted Wraps

One Filling, Two Ways: Toasted Wraps vs. Crispy Panini, Quick Lunch Idea! with Homemade Taco Seasoning!
Welcome to my kitchen! We absolutely love taco flavor, and we also love that satisfying crunch. So, that is the story of how we created this delicious meal! Seriously, whether you go for the crispy Panini or the perfectly toasted wrap, this filling is a weeknight winner, all thanks to our Homemade Taco Seasoning! We also try to add more nutrients and fresh vegetables into every meal we make. That's why we're loading our wraps with fresh, crisp vegetables instead of cooked ones, and serving a bright side salad for an extra boost of greens. We truly hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Table Spoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 0.5 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Bouillon
  • 1 Teaspoon Tomato Paste
  • 2-3 Tablespoons water
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Flour Tortilla wrap / Corn Tortilla your choice
  • Refried Beans optional
  • Mexican Blend shredded cheese optional
  • Your choice of vegetables:
  • We use cilantro spinach, and arugula.
  • Lemon Parmesan Salad Ingredients:
  • 2 heads Romaine Lettuces
  • Juice of 1 whole lemon
  • Drizzle of Olive Oil
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • In the pan, Brown the meat first so that if it releases too much fat, you can drain it before adding other ingredients.
  • Once the meat is already released all their juice out, drain it if necessary, Add Chopped Onion, Add Chopped Garlic Put the lid on to cook the onion a bit Add your Homemade Taco Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Italian Seasoning, Cumin, Paprika, Bouillon, Salt&Pepper, Tomato Paste, Water and stir, the texture should be nice and dry, not greasy at all
  • The Meat Filling is ready!
  • Now we are making a Quick side Lemon Parmesan salad
  • I use 2 heads of Romaine lettuces.
  • After you wash and dry your lettuce, , cut it into your desired size , Add the juice of 1 whole lemon, Drizzle of Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper, 1/4 Cup of Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese, Toss it until combined, Top with more Parmesan Cheese if you like!
  • The salad is Ready!
  • It's time to make the wraps!
  • Flour Tortilla wrap / Corn Tortilla (your choice)
  • Add Meat Filling
  • Refried Beans
  • Mexican Blend shredded cheese (optional)
  • Your choice of vegetables:
  • We use cilantro, spinach, and arugula. The spinach and arugula will remain raw after toasting. (you can pre-sauté it if you prefer).
  • For the first wrap, we'll make a toasted burrito style , so wrap it up like a burrito.
  • The refried beans act like glue to seal the edges. If you don't use refried beans, you can add cheese around the edges; after toasting, the cheese will melt and seal it up.
  • The second wrap we are making is Panini style. Create 1 cut toward to the middle of Tortilla flour
  • Add your favorite filling inside. Again The most important thing is to add either refried beans
  • or cheese next to the cut, so it can glue or seal up the sandwich very well after toasting.
  • Fold it 4 times around the circle, just like the video.
  • Toast it up in Panini Press machine until crispy, flip it around couple of time to toast it evenly.
  • Toast the burrito in a pan;
  • drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil just to help seal it up.
  • Put the seam side down first, and cook for a minute on low heat. Check often; it will burn fast.
  • Continue flipping it side by side until it is toasted all around.
  • And, your toasty, crispy wrap is ready to enjoy!
  • Serve with your side salad!
