Ingredients
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 small potatoes
- 2 medium zucchinis one green and one regular, if available
- 1 egg
- 1 handful grated mozzarella
- 1 small bunch chives or green onion
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Lettuce for filling
- Avocado sliced, for filling
- Tomato sliced, for filling
- Cooked chicken for filling
- Yogurt sauce or dressing optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and bake the wraps
- Start by grating the zucchini, carrots, and potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated veggies in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can, this is key for crispy wraps. In a large bowl, mix the vegetables with a beaten egg, shredded mozzarella, chopped chives (or green onion), salt, and pepper. Once everything is well combined, line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Scoop out portions of the mixture and flatten them into thin rounds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp around the edges.
Step 2: Let the wraps cool
- After baking, let the wraps rest on the tray for a few minutes. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to lift and fill without tearing.
Step 3: Add your fillings
- Top each wrap with your favorite ingredients, lettuce, avocado, sliced tomato, grilled chicken, or a drizzle of yogurt sauce. Feel free to get creative with whatever you have on hand!
Step 4: Wrap and enjoy
- Fold or roll the wraps gently and enjoy right away. They’re perfect for a light lunch, meal prep, or a healthy snack on the go.
