Prata Wrap

Most major supermarket you go, you can see this Hot & Roll kiosk selling prata wrap. Its good to come up with this kind of idea to make prata eating more interesting. I had it a few times and decided to have a go doing it myself.

Ingredients:

(Makes 5 wraps)

1 pack of Prata (5pieces)

1 pack of shredded mozzarella cheese

10 slices of honey baked ham

Mayonnaise

BBQ Sauce

Pineapple, cut into small strips

Method:

Heat up non stick pan

Slightly pull prata to make it bigger

(Frozen prata sold outside are slightly ticker & smaller than Hot & Roll,

thus we stretch it a bit.Careful not to over stretch as it will tear it)

Place prata on non stick pan and brown it on both side

Spread mayonnaise on prata, lay 2 slices of honey baked ham

Sprinkle cheese on top

Squeeze some bbq sauce over it

Fold in 1/2 and then fold again (see pic below)

For Hawaiian version, I add pineapple in it

Voila..you have your own version of prata wrap!

(Note: Remember to lower yr fire once prata turns brown,

else you'll burn your prata when you spread yr fillings)
