need smaller serving sizes do they freeze well
only me why serving for 16
Many of our recipes do indeed freeze well, but better than that, try cutting back using our reference here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes.
Hi, Shelz. Yes we do! Here you go 🙂 http://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/sprouted-flour-tortillaswraps/
Do you have ingredients on how to make whole grain wraps.
Hi, kelly1959. It means that the grains are allowed to sprout before milling and baking into products, which makes them more digestible and therefore more nutritious. You can read more about it here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-SWG-bread.
Exactly what does the term “sprouted whole grain” mean?
Hi, Juelsat. Generally corn tortillas tend to be made with whole corn, but sometimes the corn itself is not grown well. Go with whatever you can find and like – this recipe will still feed you better than a fast food restaurant 🙂
Hi, 123rae. Thanks for the heads – up. I have forwarded this onward to our tech team.
What if I cannot find whole grain wraps? Do you have a suggestion of what to use?
When I click on the ‘Fewer Servings’ link and choose the 4 servings and then click on the ‘change meal servings’ button, nothing happens. It just remains at the 16 servings. Also, where do I go to see my weekly menu. I created one and printed it out, but when I went on the website the next day, there’s no link to it. Not very user friendly! Please help!
Hi, deminichols. Absolutely!
Have a question about the avocado oil.. I can’t find it in my area.. can I substitute with olive oil.. thank you..
The filling would go well in Napa (Chinese) cabbage or any kind of loose leaf lettuce for the wrap.
I made this for a dinner party (4 people) at the weekend and everyone loved it. I couldn’t use Avocado oil (husband allergic) so used Sunflower 1-calorie spray oil. I was not happy with the wraps I made (too tough to roll up well) and will check out more shops (UK) to find some ready-made.
Hi, Carol. If the recipe is part of your menu, the grocery list will be updated automatically. If it is not, please let us know.
Fewer serving size how do I change them to suite grocery list
Maybabe, which recipes are causing problems? We have checked most of them, but so far so good – we don’t want to miss the problem ones. Thanks.
Hi, Maybabe. You can definitely use the flakes – whatever tastes good!
Thanks for the heads up on the Fewer Servings glitch – I have forwarded your note to tech support.
A note for tech support: The fewer serving link in some of the recipes I have accessed does not work.
I made this just last night and I must agree, it is a “keeper!” I did not have red chili pepper; instead I used red pepper flakes( just a pinch is enough). However, in my opinion, the recipe is fine without it. I used reduced sodium soy sauce for added flavor/seasoning…to taste – delicious!
I could not find red chili pepper. Is there another name for it, or can I just use red pepper flakes in this?
To all with questions about the serving size: the 1/2 wrap is just a unit. Of course you can have 2 of these to eat a whole wrap (or even 2) if it fits in your meal.
Hi, Toadal. The “Fewer Servings” function above will get you down to 4 servings, and then you can halve that or store the rest for later. Here is an article about right-sizing: http://www.trimdownclub.com/right-sizing-food-preparation/
Hi, I’m new and love all the comments. Sure has helped. My question is what can I use in place of chili, commercial or organtic, no meat. It’s on my Tuesday menu planner and have looked in HEB and found an Natural/organtic market and it’s not there. Please help.
Oh my gosh! This dish is wonderful. My husband likes it also, so it will be an easy “sale” as a regular menu item at our house. Quick and easy to fix and delicious!
I purchase only organic food. Organic coldcuts-turkey-cheese-chicken are not listed on any of the daily menu list can these be added to my daily menu? I only cook with Coconut Oil after reading Olive Oil becomes toxic when heated and to use Olive Olive only on your salad. I am confused listening to video yesterday the meal plan was made by nutritionist. Please explain via email.
Thank you Mrs Diana Melasippo
Hi sorry if this a silly question but I have never used a ‘skillet’ and do not have one I am wondering if this is another way of making this without a killer or whether I am going to need to buy one? ( I just joined today and feeling a little overwhelmed with so much to take in and organise! 🙂
Is is green or purple cabbage?
can i use wholemeal wraps cannot find swg. for main dinner is it 1/2 wrap or 1 full . 1/2 doesnt seem very much
Quite possibly the nicest wrap ive ever had, lemon zest and chilli just a little over powering, i did chop too finely though, still great taste and enjoying it right now as i type yummy !
I would like to make this recipe for one or two. How would I know the right serving size for each portion if the recipe makes for 16?
Has become one of our go-to recipes! Definitely worth the time chopping! Goes fast once you get everything chopped up! It is favorite for us and I love to prepare it because I can get dinner on the table in 30 minutes!!
Cannot find swg wraps here in NZ,
What can I use in place of these.?
Loved it! I used a bagged cole slaw veggie mix and cut the prep time in half. Not to mention there was some left for another meal to, like the beef and broccoli stir fry that is on this site too!
The Cashew Chicken Wraps were delicious and easy to make. Great recipe…will definitely be making these often!
This is really good, I’ve had it a lot, but just noticed that ‘one serving’ is not clear, is it 1/2 or 1 wrap?
Have never heard of SWG wraps in the UK. Are they widely available?
Brilliant!
I replaced cabbage with spinach, really simple & tasty.
How can I get your recipes scaled for just 2 people
SWG wraps can be purchased at health-oriented grocery stores, including large chains such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s, or online at http://www.foodforlife.com.
Quorn can definitely replace the chicken pieces. Since quorn has a more dominant taste, you may wish to double the spices.
Love it. Definitely a do over.
This was so good, even my veggie phobic husband had seconds.
I like this one!
can I replace the chicken with quorn pieces
Where do I buy swg wraps?
This recipe was vey good. A little soy in the wrap peaked the flavours.
