Prepare the Filling:
Begin by preparing the filling for the wrap. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients – diced paneer, onion, tomato, green bell pepper, black olives, chopped basil leaves, salt, red chili flakes, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Toss everything together until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. -
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little extra virgin olive oil. Warm the tortillas in the skillet for a minute or two, just enough to get light brown spots on the surface. Be careful not to make them too crispy, as you want them soft and pliable for rolling. -
Assemble the Wrap:
Once the tortillas are warmed, lay them flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a small portion of iceberg lettuce in the center of each tortilla. Then, add about two tablespoons of the prepared filling on top of the lettuce. -
Roll the Wrap:
Fold in the two opposite ends of the tortilla over the filling. Then, begin rolling the tortilla from one open end, carefully folding over the sides to keep everything in place. Roll it tightly and wrap the finished roll in foil or butter paper to hold its shape. -
Repeat and Serve:
Repeat the same process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve these wraps immediately as a delicious evening snack, pack them for lunch boxes, or take them along for a picnic. For a refreshing twist, pair them with a Mango Berry Smoothie. This wrap also makes a perfect weeknight dinner option for busy evenings.
Serving Suggestions:
The Vegetarian Wrap with Olives and Cottage Cheese pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. You can serve it with a chilled Mango Berry Smoothie for a balanced snack or pack it for a nutritious lunch. This versatile wrap is also a great addition to a picnic basket or as a quick dinner solution.
Enjoy this flavorful and protein-packed wrap with your loved ones and savor the goodness of fresh ingredients wrapped in a soft tortilla!
