I was buying lunch from the base canteen daily and spending 9-12$ on a wrap that was full of processed chicken and soggy salad.
Then I met the missus and she recommended I make my own - who knows what I want better than me?
Have been doing it daily for 6 years now. Might buy takeaway once a fortnight with the team but prefer my wrap. Have made them for team members every so often to share the love.
Sundays I buy the stuff and prep - takes about half an hour and lasts until Friday.
1 x Coles/Woolies chicken
Half a red and half a green capsicum
1 red onion
Chop all of that up and put it a container for the week. Gets 4 maybe 5 wraps. Maybe the onion prevents it from spoilage, I dunno.
Wrap pack of 10 lasts two weeks
Aioli - 1 bottle lasts around a month
Swiss cheese - 10 per pack = 2 weeks
Spinach bag lasts a week
Baby beetroot - 1 can = 1 week
1 tomato - 5 per week
Hot sauce - tried plenty but the Nandos gear goes alright - lasts about 2 weeks
S & P
Chicken mix
Wrap it in baking paper and foil. Sandwich press for 5 mins.
We did the sums and I spend about 80 a month roughly - as opposed to 10 a day average at the Base grubber. Genius.
Also, he may be a crazy bastard, but Pete Evans and his recipe books are great for useless cooks like me - easy to follow recipes, all fresh ingredients and tastes bloody good - we had Vietnamese beef curry last night - my 3 and 1 year old boys devoured it and wanted seconds which is impressive.
