The basic idea is to choose 2-4 types of food wraps that people can make themselves, put out the ingredients and the wrappers, and let your guests choose their ingredients and wrappers to their liking.
By wraps we mean foods that can be placed in and eaten in flatbreads, whether tortillas, pitas, naans, Middle Eastern sponge breads, or other types of flatbreads that can enfold the ingredients.
You can choose fillings and wraps from different cuisines (not only Mexican or Latin, though these are great too) and then watch how your guests enjoy making their wraps creations!
Along this line, don't limit yourself to just fajitas to fill your party wraps--there are so many wonderful things that can be used for this!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Pork or beef tenderloin, marinated, roasted, or grilled and sliced
- Tempura or grilled seafood
- Grilled or sauteed artisan sausages (slice for easier eating)
- A nice herb-crusted baked chicken (also sliced)
- Many entree-type foods such as the above, if not too drippy, make great fillings for wraps
- Grilled veggies and fresh mozzarella
Then add a few other things such as some nice grated cheeses (hopefully local?). If no time to source local cheeses, just go to your gourmet supermarket and get some good cheeses and grate, then put out in bowls so people can add to their wraps. Some cheeses we like for great wraps are Gruyere, Fontina, Emmentaler, and local cheddars. Or any cheese you and your guests like a lot.
Serve with an assortment of flatbreads, a dessert, some nice wines and non-alcoholic beverages--a fun and interactive wraps party with international flair.
Enjoy!
