Easiest Snack Ever

Aside from smashing the almonds, the most labour intensive part of this snack is eating it.

ALMOND RAISIN SNACK WRAP

Makes one snack wrap.

Ingredients:
1 - 6 inch tortilla
1 tsp. low fat cream cheese
1 tbsp. raisins
4 almonds, smashed

Method:
-spread cream cheese to about half a centimetre away from the edge of the tortilla
-on a cutting board, smash almonds; using the heel of your hand, apply pressure to the blade of a knife that has been laid sideways over an almond



-apply pressure until you feel the almond being crushed or alternatively, give it some muscle like you would if you were crushing garlic; you could use sliced almonds here but this is good for getting the stress out
-mix raisins with almonds and sprinkle in the middle of the tortilla, leaving about a centimetre of space from the sides
-carefully fold the bottom of the tortilla towards the centre of the almond raisin mixture


-fold the left side of the tortilla towards the middle


-fold the right towards the middle


-roll from the bottom to the top
