Vegetarian Tortilla Wraps Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 cup zucchini or cucumber slices
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup hummus or cream cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the bell peppers, zucchini (or cucumber), and tomatoes. Shred the lettuce and set everything aside in separate bowls for easy assembly. - Sauté the Bell Peppers (Optional)
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they’re slightly softened. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Skip this step if you prefer raw peppers for extra crunch. - Warm the Tortillas
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. This makes them pliable and easier to roll without tearing. - Assemble the Wraps
- Spread a thin layer of hummus or cream cheese on each tortilla.
- Add a layer of shredded cheese, followed by sautéed peppers, zucchini slices, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the fillings.
- Roll the Wraps
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. - Optional Step: Heat the Wraps
Place the assembled wraps back into the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to melt the cheese and crisp up the tortilla slightly. - Slice and Serve
Cut each wrap diagonally and serve on a platter with a side of fresh salsa, guacamole, or yogurt dip.
Tips for Customization
- Add Protein: Include black beans, chickpeas, or tofu for extra protein.
- Spice It Up: Add jalapeños, chili flakes, or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Go Green: Swap the tortilla for a large lettuce leaf for a low-carb version.
- Dips on the Side: Serve with a side of tzatziki, ranch dressing, or even tahini sauce for added flavor.
