You can serve salad rolled up as burritos in store- bought , warmed flour tortillas as a ‘do‐it-yourself’ rustic dinner in the center of the table
-
Leftovers can be wrapped up in a wrap the night before in foil and toasted the next day for lunch.
-
Can serve with tinned refried beans instead of whole borlotti beans.
-
You can substitute any soft cheese here such as goats cheese, grated tasty or labne (Mediterranean yoghurt cheese).
