Veg paneer roll or paneer tortilla wrap is my hubby's signature recipe and it is liked by family and friends alike. It is our go-to food item for brunch, lunch or dinner, especially over the weekends.
The crunchiness of semi-cooked pepper and raw onion mixed with soft and tender paneer and mild spice flavors gives it a varied experience to the taste buds. And the best part is that the filling mixture can be adjusted according to taste by adding veggies of your choice.

How to make paneer tortilla wraps?
To make Indian-style paneer tortilla wraps or veg paneer rolls, warm a tortilla on a skillet and apply butter (optional) on the inside.
I use a cast iron skillet, it is a perfect skillet for cooking tortillas, Indian flatbread (roti), stuffed bread (parathas), crepes (dosa), pancakes, and more.
Once the tortilla is cooked, take it off of the skillet and then place some filling in the center. Garnish it with some sliced onions, and tomato ketchup, and sprinkle some chaat masala for a tangy taste.
You can optionally sprinkle black pepper and/or apply some green chutney too or sriracha sauce to make it spicy. Roll the tortilla into a wrap with one end closed.

Meal Planning
Veg paneer filling can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for 3-4 days. When you are ready to use it, just warm it and it will be ready to make the wraps.

This recipe can be made from home made paneer or if you are short of time, store bought paneer also works fine.
