Just thinking of these makes me salivate: these toasted sandwiches have the perfect more-ish mixture between thin crisp crust and gooey yielding middle. What's more, they're pretty well instant to make.

3 slices pickled green jalapeno peppers (from a jar)
50 grams cheddar cheese (grated)
1 spring onion (finely sliced)
6 leaves fresh coriander
1 teaspoon olive oil (not extra virgin)
To Serve
1 tub shop-bought salsa
For Each Flour Tortilla Wrap
1 soft flour tortilla wrap
1 ounce thinly-sliced cured ham
3 slices pickled green jalapeno peppers (from a jar)
¼ cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1 scallion (finely sliced)
6 leaves cilantro
1 teaspoon olive oil (not extra virgin)
To Serve
1 tub shop-bought salsa
Method
Heat a ridged griddle.
Place the tortilla wrap on the counter in front of you and cover with the ham.
Over one half only, sprinkle the pickled jalapeno slices, grated cheese and chopped spring onion. Scatter the coriander leaves over the top.
Carefully fold the tortilla wrap in half, that's to say, fold the un-cheese-topped half over the cheese so that you have a fat half moon.
Lift this up carefully and brush each side with the oil before putting it on the hot griddle; grill for a minute each side.
Using a steady hand and a wide fine spatula or fish slice, transfer the tortilla to a board or plate and cut into 3 triangles. Eat with some salsa on the side. And please feel free to play with the fillings as you wish.

I don't possess a griddle so I just use a dry frying pan but wipe it with a bit of oil x

Just tried this, the griddle pan has hung unused for years. I was looking for something other than burritos to use tortilla for. I chucked in some pepperoni as well and it was amazing.

These are delicious, I'm a veggie so just left out the ham but grilled veg (mushrooms, peppers, courgette and a few tomatoes, herbs, oil and seasoning) torn up mozzarella and this is heaven on a plate!

I'd totally forgotten these until I saw some wraps left in my fridge, hmmm, didn't Nigella do something yummy with them'. Fab breakfast, used some left over spicy sausage in them, so so nice. The wrap goes so crispy and the chilli's are a must even if your not too keen on them.

I live in Mumbai and while tortilla wraps are available they're pricey since they're imported. I followed your recipe using our regular chapattis and the results were super yummy! The chapatti (roti) crisps up and is just delicious.

I have always wanted to make these, I have, and they were divine - family raved about them - definitely making again.

If you use softer mild cheeses like Mozzarella or any Fondue cheeses you can use really bold ingredients or leftover grilled vegetables. Scrambled eggs work well as well. Or I mix different cheeses.

I love this recipe! Thank you very much. Only one question: why would anybody use non-extra-virgin-olive-oil?
