Baja Wraps

Today for lunch I took some organic collard greens and make myself some raw Mexican wraps. I called them "Baja Wraps."

These are so simple to make. I made a recipe called "Baja Cheese" from Ani Phyo's cookbook called "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen." I happen to be visiting my parents out of state here in California so I don't have my kitchen tools with me and this is a easy wrap to whip up anywhere. The Baja Cheese has almonds, cilantro, jalapeno. You can make this type of wrap a Mexican or you could even make a Thai wrap by changing your flavors a little.

I made a quick guacamole just by taking an avocado and mashing it and giving it a sprinkle of salt and garlic powder.

Then I make a quick salsa recipe

3 tomatoes

1 jalapeno (use garlic press)

2 cloves garlic

3-4 tablespoon chopped red onion

cilantro (handful chopped)

lime juice (from 1 lime)

salt to taste

I then take what ever vegetables I have on hand. Today was cucumbers, red bell pepper, clover sprouts and I start layering my cheese, guacamole and then topping all my ingredients and roll up my wraps.

Quick to make and I have leftovers for a few days and the only tool I did need was a food processor for the cheese. If I didn't do the cheese I wouldn't need any tools other than a chopping mat and knife. Oh, I forgot the garlic press! If you don't have a garlic press you will have to use a knife. It saves your hands from burning from the jalapenos. That is why I like the garlic press it really gets the flavor distributed throughout your salsa.
