Can you put a tortilla in a toasted sandwich maker?

Yes, you can put a tortilla wrap in a toasted sandwich maker. Just make sure to use the flat plates and reduce your cooking time by half of what you would do for a toasted sandwich.

How do you make a toasted wrap?

The two easiest ways to create a toasted tortilla wrap are to put the constructed wrap in a toasted sandwich maker. Or, fry the made up wrap in a frying pan.

If you are thinking about the frying pan method then I would actually recommend you ditch the idea of a wrap and instead make a quesadilla by folding your tortilla in half across the filling.

Can you deep fry a tortilla wrap?

Example Taquitos

Yes, you can deep fry a tortilla wrap and this is called either a Taquitos or Flauta.

What’s the difference between a Taquitos and Flauta?

Traditionally, a Tauitos is made from a corn tortilla and a Flauta from a flour tortilla but they are often used interchangeably.

How long does it take to cook a tortilla in a toastie maker?

On average it takes about 4-5 minutes to cook a tortilla wrap in a toasted sandwich maker.

This is roughly half the time it takes to cook a regular toastie.

What is the difference between a tortilla and a wrap?

A tortilla is a type of unleavened flatbread made with flour or corn. A wrap is when you wrap a tortilla, or any type of bread, around a filling completely and effectively wrap it up.

It is very common to use a flour tortilla to create a wrap but it doesn’t have to be, for example a closed Pita is a type of wrap.

Unleavened simply means made without a raising agent such as yeast or eggs.

What types of Tortilla can you buy?

The two main types of tortilla are made with flour or with cornmeal. You can buy both varieties in all major supermarkets such as Tesco or Sainbury’s and via Amazon Fresh.

Can you get Gluten free tortilla wraps?

Yes, brands like Old El Paso and Warbutons both make Gluten Free Tortillas. You can find them in many major supermarkets and via Amazon.

Example Gluten Free Wraps

Are Tortillas Vegan?

Most of the time flour tortillas are made with vegetable oil and therefore vegan. However, they could be made with animal fat so be sure to check the packaging. Corn tortillas can be made without oil but again be sure to check the packing.

Are Tortillas lower in calories than bread

According to MyFitnessPal a large tortilla wrap is roughly 190 calories which is roughly the same as two medium slices of bread. But, it is lower than two thick cut slices of bread which comes in at 234 calories.

I think it is important to point out that the question is really is a tortilla wrap lower in calories than a bread sandwich. When comparing the bread alone we can see that it is lower than using a thick cut bread but is about the same as using a medium cut bread.

However, you should also consider filling as you can often get a lot more in a wrap than a sandwich so this will push the calorie count up a bit.

Can you get low calorie Tortillas?

Yes, you can get low calorie tortilla wraps in most supermarkets including Weight Watchers tortilla wraps.
