Geeks With Cutlery

Gloriously geeky observations on the finer points of popular culture, home-made food and technology. Sprinkled with just the right amount of furious subjectivity and mindless ramblings.

Bit's Furiously Fast Fingerfood Wraps

Easy to do, but takes a bit of time - make sure you start at least an hour before your favourite show is on...

Enough to get 4-5 people through an episode of "24" or two.

3-6 tortilla wraps (Norwegians may use potetlefse, too)
2-3 tomatoes, sliced to tiny bits
1/4 cucumber or squash, sliced to tiny bits
Some finely sliced lettuce
Some sour creme, creme fraiche, pesto and/or herb cheese
A few slices of ham, turkey or any meat-llike substance you might find in your fridge at the moment
Assorted spices like fresh basil and oregano

Spread some sour creme/creme fraiche/pesto/cheese on the tortilla (variation is the spice of life, fellow geeks), then some lettuce, your choice of meat (spicy fine slices of turkey or chicken is my favourite), tomatoes, cucumber or squash and sprinkle some basil on top. Roll it up, and cut it into two or three equally sized bits (depending of the size of your tortilla wraps); cut off the ends for that "pro" catering look. Make a few different variations of the filling on the different tortillas. Put them in the fridge until served.

The good thing about these, is that you can use just about anything you find in your fridge when making them. Health-oriented geeks may choose low-fat products and more vegetables for the filling.
