Ingredients
| Flour tortilla | 1 large | burrito size, they crack less than small ones |
|---|---|---|
| Peanut butter | 1 packet or 2 tbsp | almond or cashew butter works the same |
| Honey | 1 packet or 1 tsp | |
| Raisins | 1 snack box | about 1.5 oz |
| Granola | 2 tbsp | optional, for crunch |
Method
- Lay the tortilla on its own wrapper so you are not spreading food on a rock.
- Spread the nut butter over the tortilla, stopping about an inch from the edge.
- Drizzle the honey over it and scatter the raisins and granola across the surface.
- Roll it burrito style, fold up one end, and eat from the open end.
Tortillas are the one bread that survives a pack. No stove, no water, no pot, and the whole thing assembles standing up at a trail junction in about a minute.
The nut butter is the calorie engine and the honey is the glue that keeps the raisins from falling out the far end while you eat. Granola is optional but it fixes the main problem with this wrap, which is that everything in it is soft. Nut butter packets are worth the money here because a jar means a spoon and a spoon means washing something.
Packing
Everything travels in one bag: tortilla flat against the back panel of the pack, packets and raisins tucked beside it. Tortillas break at the fold if they ride loose in a side pocket.
Variations
- Swap the raisins for a sliced banana if you are out for two days or less. Wrap the banana in a paper towel and carry it inside your pot.
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon shaken over the nut butter costs nothing and changes the flavor.
- Crushed pretzels instead of granola for salt.
