Crispy Plant-Based Lunch Wraps

[Music] hi i'm jane esselstyn i'm ann esselstyn and today we're doing um a crispy wrap that actually is in versions thereof are in the engine 2 cookbook and prevent interverse heart disease in fact if you notice this is a spinach leaf holding my place so if you're if you're in if you have preventative reverse heart disease which is not the cookbook it's my parents 208 page 208 in prevent and reverse heart disease and this is the wrap actually that i created when we started doing this the monthly seminars originally held at the clinic for patients who came all across the united states and abroad and now we do them virtually once a month well the seminar was about reversing their heart disease and this was a wrap we served so my husband always called it the perfect wrap or nutrient dense perfection so the perfect wrap we changed it or tweaked it a little bit in the uh engine 2 cookbook and if you're following along with that book it's on page 172 not 172 it's just 172. and we have a spoon on it because you cook these in the oven so they get to be crispy so we actually call them crispy wraps in our head and because we live in cleveland and we were making this when cleveland had a great basketball team going we call it the believeland crispy wraps so however you're following along anne's going to drive hit it so it starts with some kind of a large wonderful tortilla and if in these the ezekiel uh 4.9 spouted grain tortillas are terrific and perfect i mean if you're going to find a tortilla this one is clean you otherwise read every ingredient and any tortilla out there because most of them have got so much junk and these are lovely so i am starting with two the directions say four but it's too many right now so for our surface area yeah for our surface area and this is some hummus with no oil in it um and you can also get cedar's makes uh no oil no tahini hummus it doesn't matter just so long as it has no oil and i'm going to spread it nice and thick on both of these sort of down the middle and on one side because i'm going to roll them over and other i don't want it all coming out and then on top of each i am going to put some green onions and by the way i have turned the oven to 450. because um nothing in here has to cook it just has to get crispy so that's kind of a good 450 tool and then i'm going to put either your choice cilantro or um parsley would basil also be good i think you used to put basil sometimes too and i loved it with parsley cilantro and basil you have basil and i and because i meant to get basil i got i thought i'd try mint oh my gosh and so i'm just gonna see what it's like never done this before but i thought it would be kind of fun to try mint and then i have some shredded carrots i'm gonna put on you see just the more variety that you can eat the better and in this wrap there is such a fabulous variety of food and then actually put this in i'm just talking about just just let's mint it up and then i am going to put in some frozen corn that i've simply thought and you know what if you don't thaw it and it's fine because it'll get warm enough in the oven and the problem pink smells frankly the problem with this of course is it's too easy to get it too full and then i'm going to put some chopped tomatoes on it and then jane how about some mango just like a couple lines of it yeah all righty let's do all the main oh okay that's good then carrots i did the carrots oh then we're going to put some these just made broccoli sprouts i just made them i i have them going all the time and then jane she grows them and you can make them too i suppose oh you will i do i i grow them then how much spinach yeah i mean jane come on i you're being kind of precious i want a load of spinach and then what i'm going to do the the champ that's pathetic spinach oh my goodness i want lots of spinach and then the track the challenge is to wrap this up so it all stays in see i don't know if jane's going to be able to do it she didn't get your fingers around i i look okay look no great didn't do it start again no no no okay over here and then you cut it nicely on a little angle here and then you see the bottom is always down so that it's not going to fall apart like jane's did and i'm going to put it here okay we have a spoon on top of ours holding the wrap closed we closed it differently but go you go looks good see what i did can you see i got my fingers right underneath it it's talking like a nori like a nori yeah james the nori queen in fact she's the cooking queen so i am so proud of myself for doing it better than you today i'm i'm happy to learn for gosh sakes okay all right and then we're gonna i was getting ready to put a spoon down to hold them closed cause that's how we did it in ours but and then you can put these in the oven for i think you fourteen 15 minutes you have you have uh at 450 put in the oven and until it's crispy oh and you can't kind of check after we have it in 14 minutes here at 400 degrees with our technique which is different and the lids are up so the lids get crispy so here's the back side you need to have 450 because you really want it geez i've got stuff all over me the top here thank you so we can't wait so we'll be back in 14 minutes or or less we'll let you know how how long it is it's right now actually our clock is not on okay we'll we'll get back and let you know as soon as it's done you have to leave thank you okay it's been 14 minutes jane was trying to get them out early they were not i was peeking at them to make sure we didn't burn them for the video no you were trying to get them out no no no and now they are going to be perfect oh my gosh they're amazing and sizzling hot sizzling look at how they're beautifully brown don't have a bite until tomorrow it's so hot i'm such a wimp with heat oh my gosh yum look at that do you need a little spatula i have one have one and look at they're all stirring ready to go just right off they're almost like sizzly you know they said they sell sell the sizzle not the steak like this is can you get the camera here can you hear this can you get in there and hear it yeah that's hot hot chocolate i mean you could even keep them in a little tiny bit longer if you chose to put one on the plate and cool it off no i'm thinking they're too hot to even eat so maybe we just need to well this pan is going to look at them and just drool yeah but can we put one on a plate for like wait maybe wade can who could take i can't take this heat i cannot take that heat but um oh oh you know what i forgot to put in them what something i meant to do and that is before you fold them up put just a whole line across the top of a balsamic vinegar just lovely of course i forgot to add that it's a little addition that isn't in the recipe but i've been doing that lately and it makes a difference i mean i'm just trying to have these cool off a little bit so because this i know this this is a nambe pan and nambe is known for keeping its heat so i'm trying to have these kind of like stonehenge stand around cool a little bit is it yummy and you know the best thing about this you can fill it with anything you want anything it's just this is the principle and la i mean i find lettuce works the best because it kind of melts if you put in lettuce i mean spinach it's like a lettuce spinach works the best because it melts i love it in her original recipe in the prevent reverse heart disease book there really is not a list of ingredients it's just a strategy and that's really how we cook often we often talk about like when we do presentations for the esselstyn foundation we often try to just give ideas of strategies not specific recipes and that kind of goes to our it's kind of our style to sort of mess up and have the wrong things around the strategy like this not the recipe is it you know my tendency is to just pile it all in and this is so hot i'm gonna get it away from you and um so be careful that you don't make it so full that it won't fold but when you're folding it get your fingers underneath and then it won't fall apart the way the one that jane did did at first it's still smoking i i can't take a bite of that for a while so what are we gonna do we have a butt you can have a bite no i'm gonna watch it i'm gonna look at it but they're so crispy yummy and warm all right bye have fun making your wraps yes bye-bye [Music] you
