1. Oh. The watercress isn't the wrapper.
That makes it MUCH easier.:D

Soft tortilla shells -does that mean corn tortillas or small wheat ones?

2. I think I'd use
the Mission brand flour tortillas :shrug: Or, maybe the tortillas that are flavoured. They have a nice tomato basil that I like. I'll experiment.

7. You made me do it.
I bought tomato basil flavored tortillas today and made this recipe, but substituted arugula for the cress because Icouldn't find any decent looking stuff.

Thanks, aA! It was very tasty.

6. if you make it with a tortilla
it isn't a "rollup" or "wrap" it's a TACO (tortillas are a staple food item for me).
