How to make vegan wraps
Peel and cut the onion. Then cube the eggplant. Dice white mushrooms and one medium-sized carrot. Add sweet corn and green beans. Place everything in a skillet with a bit of vegetable oil and fry on medium heat. Don’t forget to add some salt and tomato sauce. Saute for about 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally until softened. Veggies should evaporate their moisture. When it’s ready, add chilli beans (if you are using frozen veggies mix with beans, skip this step). Dice one fresh tomato and one avocado. Mix them with the fried veggies. At the very end sprinkle a bit of Parmesan and mix one more time. The filling should be thick.
Place your filling in the center of the tortilla. Just take care not to use too much filling. Fold the bottom over and then fold over both edges. That’s how you make tortilla wraps.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan, on a medium heat. Add the wraps to the skillet and leave while they toast. After a couple of minutes, the bottom should be nicely browned and crisp. Flip over and repeat on the other side. Enjoy!
