Healthy Lunch Ideas- Simple Veggie Wrap Recipe

During fall, humans move away from cold summer salads and crave some hearty warm food. While soups are amazing, sometimes you want a good ol’ veggie wrap and thats where this recipe comes in. It’s quick, easy and fulfilling. Best part is you can customize it as per your own taste. Many people often at things like tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, but some people get creative and add cheese, sour cream spinach, but how healthy is it all? Many people often ask are spinach wraps healthy? In fact, almost any type of veggie wrap is healthy, all you have to watch out for are the extras you add into it, so limit the amount of sauce and any extras.

Ingredients/ Method

I used spinach, onions, zucchini which I sauteed in a pan with some salt, pepper and Balsamic vinegar.
Optional but You can also use portobello mushrooms in the wrap but to get their flavour out, marinate them with some Salt/Pepper and some oil+balsamic Vinegar for at least 30 mins. Then pan-fry them until they shrink in size then cut them in bite size pieces and place on your wrap.
For the wrap, I used carrot/Pumpkin wraps which I picked from Costco. Spread cream cheese on them before adding veggies on. Instead of veggies you can also use Avocado, hummus or other sorts of spreads.
Load the wrap up, fold and enjoy.
