Healthy Spinach Wraps

Preparation time: 20 min
This is a quick and healthy meal to make when you don't feel like doing extensive cooking. I make this on days when I come tired from gym and have zero enthu to cook. I have given three different variations of the wraps. You can decide based on your likes or the ingredients that you have :)

Ingredients:
Chinese: 1 spinach tortilla packet,
1 onion cut vertically (long and thin like in fajita)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
2 garlic cloves
soy sauce, chilly sauce
pepper powder
grated parmesan cheese

Mexican: 1 packet spinach tortilla
1 can black beans (mexican)
1 onion cut vertically (long and thin like in fajita)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 tomato (opt)
2 garlic cloves
2 cups chopped lettuce
pepper powder
grated parmesan cheese
any spread like cream cheese, avacado spread, hummus spread

Indian: 1 packet spinach tortillas
ANY veggies that you like
jeera powder, dhania powder, garam masala, chat masala, chilly powder, salt and pepper
cheese (opt)

Method:

Chinese: take some olive oil in a pan and add the garlic cloves to it. Add green chillies if you want it spicy. Then add the chopped onions, red and green peppers in it. Let it cook for sometime. Add soy sauce, chilly sauce and ketchup as per taste. Add salt and pepper powder too. Add a pinch of aginomototo to get the chinese flavor. Let these veggies partially cook. I dont overcook them coz i like the crunchy taste of peppers. Now put the filling in a spinach tortilla or a regular tortilla and roll it. Put these rolls in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 min. You can also put the tortilla on a pan, put the filling and roll it once it cooks.

Mexican: Take some olive oil in a pan and add the garlic cloves to it. Then add the chopped onions and green peppers. Let it cook for just 5 min. Add salt and pepper for taste. Add the black beans to this if you like the taste of black beans. The filling is ready. Now take a spinach tortilla, put some avocado spread or salsa on the base. Then add lettuce and some fresh cut tomatoes (don't put tomatoes if you add the mild salsa, it already has tomatoes) followed by the filling that we prepared just now. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Put only so much filling that you can make a roll easily. Now make a roll and keep it in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 min till the cheese melts.

Indian: Take whatever veggies you like - onions, peppers, tomatoes, beans, cabbage, green peas, carrots, paneer and cut them small. Make a sabji from these - add oil in a pan and saute all veggies in it. Add jeera powder, dhania powder, garam masala, salt, chilly powder, chat masala to this. Once they are cooked, put them inside the tortilla, add some cheese if you want and roll it. Put it in oven or cook it on a pan.
