I’m a firm believer that eating should be fun. As kids we were told not to play with our food, but the other day I made the I’m-an-adult-now executive decision to take my go-to wrap and make it just a tad bit more exciting.
I started with a whole wheat tortilla filled with a salmon patty, chipotle mayo, and lettuce.
I was going to eat it wrap-style as I normally would, but then I thought – hey, this chipotle mayo is a lot like the spicy mayo that I eat with my sushi…
…why not turn this wrap into sushi? 
Is it just me, or does fun food taste so much better??
I had already planned to round out my meal with some leftover spaghetti squash, so I was pretty amused when I realized that it made for the perfect “seaweed salad” to go with my sushi 
- Do you think food tastes better when it’s fun to look at?

I totally agree! My favorite “kid food” to make is ants on a log
so yummY!! Have a good weekend 
I love sushi! And this sushi looks so delicious, too
I’m going to be totally childish and say that food HAS to be fun to be tasty! You know?
Enjoy your day, gorgeous!
Meg
p.s. is that mayo really like sushi mayo?! I may just have to pick some up…YUM!
Hahahah I love it! Even better than regular sushi.
Food always tastes better when it looks good
Is that the La Tortilla brand? It looks delicious. I’ve eaten my wraps like that before but I’ve never made the comparison to sushi! It think i called it “pinwheels.”
Yep! Love La Tortilla
(minus the fact that they’re made with soy, which I try to limit my intake of. Oops 
)
This is like the Top Chef deconstructed food challenge. Well done!
Good looking food is a must in my book - it makes the meal special, ESPECIALLY when it’s only you!
Thanks for the share about the chipotle mayo - otherwise I just mix sriracha with mayo and rock it that way.
Maybe I should know this but…what’s sriracha? In the past I’ve made spicy mayo by mixing mayo with hot sauce + cayenne pepper. I’m assuming sriracha is what is in REAL spicy mayo, though…?
It’s an Asian hot sauce…I couldn’t tell you specifically what’s in it, but it’s got a generic “hot” flavor (and a rooster on the label). I wish I could tell you how I learned that info (about the sauce and the mayo), but I read it so long ago, I don’t even know where I would start hunting!
Fun, I’m going to have to try that!
haha lovin the sushi
This is such an adorable idea. Making food pretty usually encourages me to actually eat it slowly, rather than wolf it down. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t just had a snack, so I could make some of those!!
Your wrap sushi is so cute! Food definitely tastes better when it’s fun or pretty looking. It’s like how parfaits taste so much better than just eating yogurt with toppings out of a regular bowl.
I definitely think that “fun food” tastes better! It makes it much more enjoyable to eat!
Food that is well-presented is also so much more tasty! It’s all about presentation, I guess.
