So I gave in and bought tortilla wraps. I will try and make them again, but I forgot to buy lard and I'm not convinced I can make them not-cardboardy. Am wondering if I can do something like I want using a savoury pancakey-style batter instead.
But in the meantime, this is what I'm wrapping in them:
a small bowlful of frozen petit-pois, lightly nuked, cooled and strained
ditto frozen sweetcorn
about 3/4 of a pound of fresh mushrooms, chopped small, drizzled lightly with sesame oil and briefly nuked till they're just not-raw. Must be strained otherwise there's too much water, but I drank the juice.
One small onion, chopped small.
Handful of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted (not nuked) and pressed through the strainer till it's as dry as I can get it.
I would have added chopped raw red peppers if I'd had any...
Mix it all together and add a dollop of low-fat Caesar-salad dressing I bought because Sainsbury's had a half-price offer on it.
Woah healthy eating! (Well, healthier than my usual standards) Also convenience, because I can keep a tub of it in the fridge and have many faff-free meals. Joy.
Carnivore that I am, I'll eat it with ham slices or cooked chopped chicken, but it'd be fine on its own.

but I've been feeling so crappy for so long, I had to see if eating vegetables made a difference...

Of course, I'm not exactly one to talk... if it doesn't come frozen, I don't generally eat it unless it's pasta.

I have to apologize about the move crap. We still plan to adopt Callette, so I want you to know that I don't plan to back out. I even have some holiday time put aside to spend a couple of days with her and Arrietty together to keep an eye on them (and reassure them)when they are first introduced. All I can say is this sucks.

Incidentally, remember that swinging-on-your -skirt thing you told me about? She does that!

I think I have some recipes for savory crepes (what you would end up with if you used a pancake type batter instead of tortilla)... I'll have to look. If not, I lovelovelove www.allrecipes.com as a resource for all manner of yummy, easy to prepare recipes.

I could make crepe batter in my sleep... I just haven't got the technique right with tortillas yet. Plus all that rolling pin action is hard on my dodgy elbow.
