Recipe story

Wraps are a modern adaptation of the ancient tradition of wrapping meat and vegetables in flatbread, practiced for centuries in the Middle East and South Asia. In Mexican cuisine, burritos and tacos inspired versions with various fillings. This recipe combines Asian influences (Sriracha) and Western ones (cheese, mayonnaise) for a quick and crispy result thanks to the air fryer.

Ingredient Secrets

Black pepper

Known as 'black gold' in antiquity, pepper was so valuable that it served as currency and tribute. In the Middle Ages, Venetian merchants controlled the pepper trade, and individual peppercorns were often counted. Legend has it that when Alaric, king of the Visigoths, demanded tribute from Rome, he included 3,000 pounds of pepper.

Spinach

Spinach

Originating in ancient Persia, spinach conquered Europe through the Moors, who brought it to Spain in the 11th century. In the Middle Ages, it was considered a miraculous remedy for various ailments.
