Veg Paneer Tortilla Wrap

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.

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.
