Instructions for Vegetarian Wrap With Olives And Cottage Cheese -Paneer Roll

To begin making the Vegetarian Wrap with Olives and Cottage Cheese, we will first prepare the filling for the wrap.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling and toss well to combine. Check the seasoning and adjust to suit your taste.

In the next step, warm the tortillas with a little olive oil in a skillet. Don't make it crisp, but just warm it until you see light brown spots.

Once warmed, place the tortillas on a flat surface. Arrange a small portion of the lettuce leaves towards the center of the bread. Scatter about 2 tablespoons of the filling over the lettuce leaves.

Fold the two opposite ends of the tortillas over the filling. Start rolling the tortillas from one open end over the two folded sides. Roll the entire tortillas tightly and wrap a foil or butter paper around it. Thats it, the rolls are ready to be served.

Proceed the same way with the remaining rolls.
