Wrap Ingredients
- 1 Protein Wrap
Fillings
- 1 tsp basil pesto
- 1 handful of arugula
- 0.5 tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.5 light mozzarella, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the tomato and light mozzarella into thin, even slices to ensure they heat evenly in the wrap.
- Spread the Pesto: Lay the protein wrap flat and spread 1 teaspoon of basil pesto evenly in the middle to form a flavorful base for the fillings.
- Add Fillings: Layer the arugula, sliced mozzarella, and tomato over the pesto-coated area. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Fold and Fry: Fold the wrap in half carefully to enclose the fillings. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry the folded wrap until it turns golden brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Notes
- Use light mozzarella to keep the calories low while adding creamy texture.
- Protein wraps are used here to add extra nutrition; substitute with any preferred wrap type.
- Frying the wrap until golden ensures a crispy texture and enhances flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
