Garden Vegetable Wrap
The Garden Vegetable Wrap is a fresh, versatile dish typically made by filling a soft flatbread—like a tortilla, lavash, or roti—with a colorful assortment of raw or lightly cooked vegetables. Common fillings include crisp lettuce, shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, sprouts, and sometimes avocado or hummus for creaminess. While its roots are in the global trend of handheld, portable meals, it draws inspiration from various cuisines, including Mediterranean and Mexican wraps.
