Step 1: Choose Your Wrap Base

Essentially, the base of your veggie wrap is your meal. Common options include:

Spinach or Lettuce Leaves: To make this a no-carbohydrate dish, use a large spinach leaves or lettuce.

Step 2: Load Up on Fresh Veggies

The next step is actually the best part in this process – picking vegetables! Here are some great options to consider:

Leafy Greens: You can use fresh spinach, kale, arugula, mixed greens or other baby leaves with a peppery finish.
Cruciferous Veggies: You may even include shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw for the crunch.
Root Veggies: Sweet potatoes or carrots roasted to give this dish a warm, cozy taste.
Cucumbers, Bell Peppers, and Tomatoes: These vegetables I described as juicy and contain a lot of water, so they make people feel fresh while eating.
Avocado: For extra creaminess put a few slices of an avocado.

Step 3: Add Protein and Other boosters of the Flavour

It is less filling than a sandwich, so to increase the bulky factor you can include proteins such as beans or chickpeas. Here are some delicious options:

Hummus: A convenient product that comes in different varieties (such as roasted red pepper) – it’s perfect for cheese boards and enjoyed as a dip.
Tofu or Tempeh: These products can be fried in a pan or barbecued to increase crispiness and deliciousness since they are made from soy proteins.
Chickpeas: While roasted or mashed chickpeas can be consumed, the inside of them is a great source of plant proteins.
Lentils: Lentils can be boiled and then included in your wrap; they provide fiber besides giving your wrap a somewhat filling texture.

Step 4: Add a Delicious Dressing or Sauce

As much as you may enjoy your veggie wrap just like that, a dressing or sauce can add that little extra to make the wrap delicious. Here are some options:

Tahini Dressing: Most people are familiar with a light brown, thick liquid produced by blending sesame seeds.
Greek Yogurt Sauce: A tasty low-cal condiment that goes great with fresh vegetables.
Pesto: For a herby kick, add some basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto.
Balsamic Glaze: Add a splash of balsamic reduction to get a sweet and sour taste.

Step 5: Roll It Up!

So, after you have put all the things that you like in your wrap, it is time to fold your wrap. They include folding in the sides of the wrap, and after that gently roll up the wrap from the bottom to the top at the same time ensuring that it’s rolled tightly but not very rolled up. It is also possible to cut your wrap in half to make it easier to work with as shown in the figure below.
