Any good fillings for wraps?!
Any good fillings for wraps?
I want to introduce some hot and cold wraps in my coffee shop. Anyone got any tasty ideas for fillings and how much would you pay for one?
Answers:
chinese style duck with hoisin sauce, some cucumber strips and some shredded spring onions - lovely.
Fried chicken strips, lettuce, cheese, and whatever else... classic.
$5-10?
Spice chicken hot
Chicken & Bacon cold
corranation chicken cold
Tuna cold
steak hot
you can put anything in it
i buy them all the time cheapest is about ￡3 50p
My kids enjoy veggie hot dogs, wrapped in cheese inside a wrap. How much I'd pay for them is a mystery, however.
southern fried chicken,beef salad,mexican chicken,chicken tikka,tuna and sweetcorn,add salad to them for a cold wrap you can get alot of ideas from tescos petrol stations and services i love them and would pay ￡2.50 min for them if look nice then even better.good luck.x
Chicken. Beef. Duck. Spring onion. Tomato. Beetroot. Hoi Sin sauce. Sausages. Bacon. Chicken Tikka. BBQ sauce. Cheese. Gherkins. Jalapenos. Olives
How about running like a salad bar where people can ask for a bit of this a bit of that a la Subway. But undercut them. Call it about ￡2 or ￡3 each?
cottage cheese and pineapple,
or duck with spring onions and hoi sin sauce
I do them with: Chicken pieces(very small), chopped red peppers, onions, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes(small tin)and add 2/3 drops tabasco sauce and a quarter teaspoon of dries mustard powder.
For a sauce i use mayonnaise and natural yogurt with a pinch of dried mustard powder, (2parts yogurt to 1 part mayonnaise)
We always serve it with potatoe wedges
Enjoy.............
anything that can be put in a sandwich can be made into a wrap also , for example cheese salad, ham salad, steak and onion, BLT, different types of chicken like tikka tandoori, southern fried, crispy, grilled etc ,. and for prices u have to figure out how much it will cost u per one then obviously add profit
chick peas, spring onion and smoked ham with garlic mayonnaise.
I like to fill them with all kinds of things, recently I made some red onion marmalade (very cheap to make and you only need a tea spoon of it in each wrap!) it tastes nice in a wrap with some strong cheese and a little bit of bacon or ham with rocket or watercress
my boyfriend used to deliver produce to to cafe's and after he kep repeatedly asking one for chicken and cranberry sauce baguettes with salad they actually made him one. Then they tried putting them on the menu and they sold very well too. that could be a good filling to try.
for vegens and veggies I'd make avacado and tomato with herby cous cous delicious with salsa or humous yum yum yummy yum
I probably woundn't begrudge paying around ￡1.75- ￡2 for a well filled wrap.
good luck with it

Definately include a greek salad wrap. Feta, cucumber, tomato, red onion, chopped black olives and rocket. I like to spread a tbsp of hummus on the wrap first then add the other ingrediants. So light, healthy and tasty!
You could try a Muffuletta wrap. You do a olive salad of Kalamata Olives and large Green Imperial olives with capers, and then a mix of cold Italian meats capicola, salami, mortadella and emmentaler and a Italian cheese like provolone or mozzarella. If this is packed like a good Muffuletta, i'd pay up to 8 bucks for it.
I used to serve a breaded cod fish wrap at a brewery I worked at with the breaded and fried cod, pineapple, lettuce, tomato and a creamy cilantro dressing. This is about a 7 to 8 dollar item.
A southwest chicken or ceaser wrap could probably be added with what you already have in the shop. Just mix some salsa and ranch or ceaser dressing and toss your lettuce in, with some chicken and black beans, a little cheese and maybe some fried tortilla strip. You could server that with a tortilla soup as a great lunch in the 7 to 10 dollar range.
And don't be afraid to add me if you have any more questions about things like this, I love to help :).
Chicken strips all cooked and cut up, cooked bacon, crumbled. Put them in a bowl together and add shredded cheddar cheese and ranch dressing. Mix it well. Put in a closed wrap and cook on a panini press. Cut on a diagonal for nice presentation with a side of slaw.
Mix cream cheese with mayo, add fresh garlic finely chopped and dried dill. That is a great spread for wraps no matter what you're putting into them.
I have a really good recipe that really is yummy.
Uncooked chicken strips and marinade for at least 5 hours if not longer overnight would be great.
Marinade in freshly squeezed orange juice garlic honey and soy sauce and a tiny bit of curry powder.
Cook the chicken strips in the marinade.
Put the cooked chicken in the wrap with lettuce cucumber and any other salad and put a little bit mayonnaise
Its really yummy and i would pay ￡3 for it.
I make a mexican wrap that is really good and vegetarian friendly. I wrap avacado, onion, bell peppers, sliced tomato and strained salsa.
Wraps are a great idea - they're way more versatile than plain old bread. Here are a few ideas:
Savoury:
- Breakfast! Bacon, sausage or ham with egg mayo or even scrambled egg if you're making to order. Add sliced tomato or good quality tomato relish for extra flavour and colour.
- Thick bolognese sauce or chilli, maybe with optional cheese, salad or peppers. Quite good if you can (CAREFULLY) toast/reheat it on a pannini machine.
- Guacamole, tomato, optional bacon or chicken
- Roasted veg, maybe cheese, especially if you can heat it a little.
-Mozzarella, avocado, tomato, basil leaves, perhaps a hint of chilli sauce.
- Ham, chicken, cheese, or prawns with waldorf salad and leaves
- Florida salad.
- Marmite with cheddar, soft cheese or butter
- Hummus or Aubergine puree and mixed (grilled or roasted) peppers
- pesto
-Tapenade
- cold meat with pickle or mustard mayo
- stirfried vegetables
Sweet - might be more popular than you think:
-Peanut butter and Jam, separately or together.
- fruit and natural yoghurt or soft cheese or cottage cheese
-Chocolate and banana
- 1 for the kids: Chocolate and marshmallows- hideously sweet, but a winner especially if you can toast it so they melt.
- poached pears and a sprinkling of raspberries or flaked almonds - best warm
- apple "sauce" and cinnamon - best warm
Try samples out on friends and family (or even regulars you know well) first, and check what they'd be willing to pay against the actual cost of each. For the most part they shouldn't be that much different to sandwiches. Perhaps you could have a "limited edition" flavour of the day/week for some of the more exotic fillings to see how popular they are, and then perhaps if enough people ask for them once they're off the menu they could go on.
Good luck!
What would be really nice is some roasted vegetables in maybe olive oil with some mixed herbs and garlic then shake off the oil and put them in a tortilla wrap.Really healthy too.
Or tuna mixed with red onion and mayo.
Or get some sizzle and stir sauce which you just cook your chicken strips thru with some strips of peppers,put that together and you could charge ￡1.60 or so and make 4 or so wraps.
My boyfriend wanted a breakfast burrito for lunch one day so I made him one with scrambled eggs and cheese, sausage, onion, a little salsa and since I had some spinach I chopped that up really fine (like fresh herbs) I also used a little fresh basil too. You could use ham chunks too instead of sausage.
It will be sort of an egg mess wrapped in a heated flour tortilla. looks weird but tastes great. (I might have used the salsa as a topping I can't remember, sry) It should work out both ways.
(I chopped the spinach up so fine because he wouldn't have eaten it if he knew it had cooked spinach in it, he still doesn't know)
If its a good sized one (something to fill the average man up or woman w/ a good appetite) I might charge between $3.50 and $4.25 depending on size,availability of ingredients, time, and of course the cost to buy the stuff to make them.
Mice wraps go down well at this time of year, wait until we get those nasty winter mornings to try rat. Or, take a long handled scraper and give the kitchen floor a good going over, sweep-up wraps are great with a hint of mystery to them
ANYTHING!!!
wen m feeling lazy & hungry, i usually put in ham & tomatoes & mayo!!
when am not so lazy, i put in tuna, boiled eggs, pickled onions & rocket salad.
