Anything tastes better rolled in a tortilla or layered into a sandwich. That basic truth is helping me to eat more vegetables. I sometimes even find salads tedious to eat, but when I roll them into a tortilla, I love them ever bit as much as an unhealthy burrito.
This post isn’t even a recipe, it’s just a tip based on the above “anything tastes better…” truth: try putting kimchi in your sandwich or tortilla wrap. One of my favorites is a microwaved Morningstar Farms® Chik Patties® Original piled high with Publix cold kimchi (pictured here) right out of the fridge.
Kimchi is pickled, fermented cabbage usually served as a side dish in Korean restaurants. But, you can buy it at Publix in the same section where you usually find things like sprouts, plastic jars of peeled garlic cloves, and various other non-mainstream refrigerated items. It will be in the type of refrigerated area that’s open, not the kind with the closed doors. It comes in mild and spicy. I’d suggest starting with the mild, but you’ll discover that the spicy really isn’t that spicy.
This will work with any meat or meat substitute. In fact, it’ll work in any situation where you might use pickles or sauerkraut…after all, what is sauerkraut, but pickled, fermented cabbage?!
I heartily recommend this tip. It transforms a plain sandwich, gives you extra fiber and extra vitamins, and you’ll discover a new food you’ll love.

Well we finally tried the kimchi and it enhanced my vegan Moophrey hamburger. Our daughter, the vegetarian, liked
it too. Great tip.
There really is a Moophrey hamburger! I had to go look it up online. What a clever name. Glad you enjoy the kimchi.
