Ingredients:
- For the Tortilla :
- Corn meal – 1 cup
- Plain flour – 1 cup
- Baking powder – 1teaspoon

- Salt to taste
- For the Mushroom stuffing:
- Button Mushrooms – 600 grams, sliced thick
- Garlic flakes – 8, chopped small
- Chilli powder – 2 teaspoons
- Dried Oregano – 1 teaspoon, crushed
- Worcestershire sauce – 3 tablespoons
- Honey – 2 teaspoons (optional)
- Oil – 2 teaspoons
- Salt to taste
- For the Salad :
- Iceberg Lettuce or any equivalent
- Tomato – 1, sliced
- 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.
