Notes
Adjust seasoning to suit your taste.
You can fill as many vegetables as you want. However, ensure not to overfill as it will be difficult to wrap the tortilla.
You can substitute tortilla with any flatbread.
Heat the tortilla in a microwave or on a pan for a few seconds until it is warm. Too much heating turns the tortilla hard which results in breaking while folding.
You can roll each tortilla in a plastic wrap to prevent the tortilla from drying out and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to eat. Plastic wrap also helps to keep the tortilla wraps nice and sealed and helps to keep its shape.
Ensure to deseed vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers to prevent excess moisture from ruining the wraps.
