    • Cucumber – 1 cut into thin batons
    • Capsicum – 1, sliced
    • Sliced Olives – 2 tablespoons
    • Juice of ½ lime
    • Salt to taste
  • Hummus spread: In a bowl beat together the ingredients listed below, check for salt before use.
    • Hummus – 6 tablespoons
    • Cheese spread – 2 tablespoons, softened before mixing into the hummus
    • Honey – 2 teaspoons
    • Chilli flakes – 1 teaspoon or more

Method :

  • For the Tortilla :
    • In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients.
    • Add in the oil, mix well and then add in hot water, a ¼ cup at a time until you have a soft dough. You might not require all the hot water. So go slow here.
    • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for about 30 minutes.
    • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a disc about 8″ – 10″ in diameter.
    • Cook each tortilla on an iron skillet on medium heat for about a minute until you see little specks appear on the surface.
    • Flip over and cook the other side.
    • Don’t overcook the tortilla as that will make it difficult to roll it.
  • For the Mushroom Stuffing:
    • To a casserole on high heat add the oil followed by mushrooms, chopped garlic flakes, chilli powder and oregano. Toss around every once in a while and cook until the mushroom no longer lets out any water.
    • Add the Worcestershire sauce, honey and salt. Continue to cook on high heat for a couple more minutes or until no longer saucy. Remove into a bowl and set aside.
  • To assemble the Wrap: Generously spread the hummus and cheese mix on to a tortilla, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, capsicum slices, olives, a drizzle of lime juice, a little more hummus spread and finally the prepared mushroom stuffing.
  • Roll up into as tight a roll as possible and serve with extra hummus on the side.

Notes:

  • Alternatives for :
    • Tortilla – use shop-bought tortilla, a simple roti or pita bread
    • Mushroom – paneer or tofu
  • For a non-vegetarian variant instead of the mushroom use, 2½ cups of chicken cut into bite-size pieces.
