Look, I'm a chef!



I am not a chef... nor am i trying to be a chef.  Friends have been beggin' me to put up a new recipe.  So, here it is people: Nori Wraps

This is my "GO TO" when i'm short on time and want something super easy & delicious! Nori is seaweed (usually used as a wrap in sushi rolls)  It's especially rich in minerals and contains a great deal of calcium and iron to give me that GLOW.  I'll take this over bread or tortillas any day. 

Nori Wraps

Nori Sheets (you can buy at whole foods, any health food store or online)  I prefer untoasted.
Tahini
Avocado
Tomatoes
Any kind of Sprouts, Spinach or Arugula
Cucumber
Kalamata Olives
Onions (optional)
Sea Salt
Cayenne Pepper (optional)


Spread tahini (or you can use hummus) on nori sheet.  I heart Tahini - so i use A LOT!  Add sliced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber slices, olives, onions and sprouts or any kind of green. Shake some Cayenne Pepper (optional) Cumin and a little sea salt and roll it up like they do at sushi restaurants.  You don't need the bamboo roller.  It takes a little practice but you'll get good in no time! To seal the roll, use a little water along the edges (not too much) It will stick. Cut in half. Eat and love it!  Now, it's a PARTY IN YOUR TUMMY!
