Who says Meatless Monday meals need to be time consuming? It's been a while since I've posted a Meatless Monday recipe--so, I thought I would share one of my favorite, quick, meatless lunch ideas. This Italian veggie wrap is ready in minutes and can be customized to use the veggies that you prefer--or the leftovers that you have on hand.
Ingredients for an Italian Veggie Wrap
- 1 Whole Grain Tortilla, burrito size
- 1 Handful of Spinach, Arugula or favorite Greens
- 1/4 c. Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 Chopped Green Onion, with tops
- 5-6 Slices of Cucumber
- 3-4 Black Olives, Sliced
- 3-4 Banana Pepper Rings
- 1/4 c. Shredded Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese or a vegan cheese alternative
- 1-2 Tbsp. Italian Mayo (Mix 1/4 c. Light Mayonnaise with 1 Tbsp. Light Italian Salad Dressing)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions for an Italian Veggie Wrap
Layer ingredients onto a warmed tortilla and top with Italian mayo. Add salt and/or pepper to taste and fold over like a soft taco.
That’s it--a quick, easy and healthy lunch in less than ten minutes.
This is a great way to raid the refrigerator leftovers and use odds and ends of veggies that may otherwise go to waste. I am a big fan of versatile recipes that use up the little bits of randomness that quickly accumulate in my fridge! Pick and choose the vegetables that you want--and even sub in Provolone cheese or an Italian cheese blend instead of Mozzarella.
Sometimes these wraps gain a little grilled turkey or chicken and become frequent lunches all week long--and during weekend outings too--not just on Meatless Mondays!
This recipe was originally published here in September 2013--and we wanted to update the instructions and share it today since it is still a frequent guest on our Meatless Monday menu!
