These Monster Wraps are a fun and spooky twist on traditional wraps, perfect for Halloween or themed parties. Using large spinach wraps filled with your favorite sandwich ingredients, these wraps are decorated with sliced cheese or nori to mimic monster hair, olives for eyes, and pickles for bolts and facial features. Quick to assemble and visually playful, they are ideal for a festive snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Wrap and Filling

  • 1 large spinach wrap
  • Favorite sandwich filling (e.g., deli meats, veggies, spreads)

Decorations

  • Sliced Cheddar cheese and/or nori (seaweed wraps) for hair and mouth
  • Sliced pimiento-stuffed olives for eyes
  • Whole olives for bolts
  • Cornichon pickles, whole for bolts, halved lengthwise for eyebrows and nose

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wrap: Fill the large spinach wrap with your desired sandwich filling and roll it tightly like a burrito.
  2. Cut the hair and mouth pieces: Slice cheese and/or nori sheets into halves; cut triangle shapes from one half to create hair and arrange these on one half of the wrap. Cut the remaining half into long strips to form the monster’s mouth on the wrap.
  3. Add the facial features: Halve the smallest cornichon pickles lengthwise to create eyebrows and a thin slice for the nose. Position the sliced pimiento-stuffed olives on the wrap for eyes.
  4. Attach the bolts: Use toothpicks to fasten two olives or whole cornichons to the sides of the wrap to resemble Frankenstein’s bolts.

Notes

  • You can customize the sandwich filling to suit different dietary preferences and tastes.
  • Using nori as hair or mouth adds a fun texture and is suitable for a vegetarian twist.
  • Secure toothpicks carefully to avoid hazards while eating.
  • These wraps are best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and pickles.
