Mango wraps are one of my favorites! A lot of work goes into them but the rewards are plentiful:}
Part one…opening the coconut. There are other ways of opening a coconut but this is the way I have been doing it. I did not buy any special tools as of yet to open my coconuts. In the future my technique might change.
1. Get your young coconut
2. Cut all the husk around the nut off and find the hole where you will drain the coconut water. The hole will be at the top/bottom of the coconut, you will feel a soft spot that you can literally push in.
3. Drain the coconut water and hydrate yourself:} Coconut water is full of electrolytes, magnesium, potassium and everything healthy.
4. Cut the coconut in half. I use a hacksaw.
5. Admire your beautiful beautiful coconut:}
Scoop out the meat. I keep my coconut halves without the hole, sand them down, and use them as bowls:}

Mango Wrap Part 2
This is the sequel to part one of “Mango Wraps”. At this point you have already opened your coconut and scooped out the meat. To view part one click here
Now it is time to work on those mangos:}
Peel, chop, and blend the mangos with the coconut and some spices. {fresh cilantro if you have it} Then spread the mixture on your dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate for about four to six hours.
Flip the wrap and peel off the sheet. You might want to dehydrate some more now, just with the wrap on the screen, if it is still a little wet in the center.
Cut your wraps however you would like, fill them up with any variety of veggies. Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, avocado. In this batch I even used some of my homemade hummus. Roll them up and enjoy!
For dipping use creamy thai dressing, or any dressing that has flavor and some spice. The sweetness of the wrap goes great with some spicy dipping sauce.
