Veggie Wrap


LUNCH IDEAS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
(BACK TO SCHOOL)

Veggie Wrap
If you are tired of the same sandwich or salad for lunch, why not combine the two in a wrap. Wraps can include all fixings of a salad and sandwich. Just wrap up your favourite fillings and you are all set. This one here is a simple veggie wrap with all the fresh veggies  and a simple dressing. You can wrap all the veggies in the tortilla and pack the dressing in a separate box to keep the tortilla from getting soggy. Pour it over the veggies just before eating and enjoy the fresh crispness.

All the beautiful fresh and crisp veggies for your Veggie Wrap
Ingredients: (Serves 4, two small tortilla each)
8 small whole wheat tortilla
2 small tomatoes sliced
1/2 English cucumber chopped
1 green pepper cut in thin strips
1/4 red onion thinly sliced
1/4 head iceberg lettuce shredded
5-6 button mushrooms thinly sliced
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
alfalfa sprouts
Dressing
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp tomato ketchup 
2 tsp chilli sauce
1-2 tbsp old style grainy mustard
  • Keep all the chopped veggies ready to wrap.
  • Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together. You can adjust the sweetness and heat as per your taste by altering the amount of ketchup and hot sauce.
  • Warm a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds. Fill the centre with all the veggies and cheese. Drizzle a teaspoon of dressing on top and fold. Secure with a toothpick and enjoy.
  • If packing lunch for later wrap all the veggies in the tortilla and pack the dressing in a separate box to keep the tortilla from getting soggy. Pour it over the veggies just before eating.
