Are you needing a little dinner inspo? I am.

I am always trying to find ways to make easy dinners and creative ways of recreating some of our favorites. Lately I feel like time is speeding by. There just isn’t enough time to do all of the things that I want to do. There are so many unread books in my Kindle library. I swing back and forth from a good book, to Netflix (currently watching Hart of Dixie which I love), to baking, to cleaning my house. But if I am doing one of them, I can’t seem find time to do the others. Then comes playing with my kids and helping with homework. I struggle with finding balance. Can you relate?

Lately, it feels like the new trend is all about self discovery, self awareness and mindfulness. All topics I love, but I have a hard time finding the time to do this with little ones? Winters are usually tough on me, the lack of sunshine, movement and overall slowness that everything seems to have. I’m hoping with daylight savings right around the corner, it will bring me (and you) a renewed feeling to reach for something more. Maybe just once, longer days can actually mean more time.

I’ll be the first to admit, we have been in a dinner rut. Which is not good because usually in the summer we reach for the quick things so we can spend more time outside. But lately I find myself making things just to get by.

The Siete tortilla wraps are one of the things I always keep in my fridge. And the other day as I was warming one on the skillet I thought about using them to make pizza bites. So last weekend I tried it.

This is all you need to do:

I warmed them up in the skillet then I stuffed them. I was also making meatballs at the time so I took some of that mixture and precooked it with some Daiya cheese. It worked perfect. I then rubbed a bit of avacado oil on the edges to seal it (you might use an egg white) and used a pastry crimper to cut them into shapes. This tool helps to seal the edges better. Then I brushed some additional avacado oil on each one (I made 2 with each wrap) and baked them at 450 for 10 minutes.

They turned out great! I made them a second time with just Applegate pepperoni and Daiya cheese but with these I found I had to put the filling in while the wrap was still in the skillet to melt the cheese a little. This helped with sealing them together. It was harder to do though without burning my fingers.

After one of the members in my Stay Gluten Free Community (it’s FREE to join, click here) used these wraps to make egg rolls, I was inspired to try taquitos as well. I used the same method as the pizza bites. Here I was also making tacos so I used some of my taco beef and melted cheese and rolled them in an already warmed (do this in a skillet separate) tortilla wrap. I then rolled them into a log on a foil lined cookie sheet with the fold facing down and baked them at 450 for 10 minutes. You could brush them with some oil before baking to enhance the color but I actually forgot and they still turned out great.

Another great experiment!

Just make sure when you are baking each one of these treats you watch them close since all ovens are different.

I love these tortilla wraps because they are really thin and once warmed are very pliable. Up next, I am going to try using these for some kind of dessert treat. I will keep you posted.

I hope this gives you two new easy ways to make dinner this week.

Until next time!
