Recipe Tips and variations
Here are some of my favourite tasty ways to switch up these roll ups.
- Change your protein: Use deli chicken, roast beef, or even a vegetarian deli slice for variety.
- Add extra veggies: Thinly sliced bell peppers, cucumber, or shredded lettuce will add a nice crunch.
- Lighten it up: Use low-fat or dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt to suit your diet.
- Change the wraps: Swap whole wheat wraps for spinach, tomato-basil, or low-carb options.
- Make them spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the spread for extra kick.
