How to Make Low Carb Rainbow Veggie Wraps
For this recipe you'll need a couple of low carb tortillas - my favorite right now is the 4g net carb ones from Mission. They are starting to release other flavors like these tomato ones, which are 5g net carbs.
Spread the tortillas with a little cream cheese, right up the right hand edge, to act as "glue".
Then add the veggies to the left hand side of the tortilla. I used bell peppers in three colors, red cabbage, cucumber, and avocado. Try to spread the vegetables evenly so that each color runs throughout the length of the tortilla. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Roll everything up tightly, starting from the left hand side, moving to the right. At this point (unless you included avocado which might spoil), you could wrap them up in plastic wrap and either save for slicing later, or keep for a low carb lunch on the go!
When ready to serve, cut each wrap into slices.
Discard (or eat!) the ends, and place the remaining slices on a serving platter.
Note: The nutritional data provided is a best estimate based on the veggies that I used, and is just a suggestion. If you create your own combo of rainbow vegetables, use a recipe calculator to check the data.

Hi Georgina,
The wraps looks amazing. Unfortunately, we don't have the low carb Mission wraps available in Australia. Would be great to have a low carb recipe for those. Definitely great filling ideas you have and they look super easy to make. Thanks so much.

I would love to have their recipe too! 🙂 Are there any other kind of low carb wraps available? Maybe something like this? http://www.empowerfoods.com.au/products/?product_id=14
