Ingredients

Sauce:

Your own preference. I prefer tomato paste, though bbq sauce, ketchup, salsa, or other common sauces works well too.

Wrap:

1 lafa (a round, flat Arab bread about 40cm in diameter)*

1 small tomato.

1-2 handfulls iceberg lettuce.

1/2 red onion

Salt and pepper to taste

Mozzarella or similar cheese (optional)

If unavailable, a thin, large, round bread will do, such as Lebanese bread, or large tortilla wraps.

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven on medium-high heat.
  2. Roughly chop the lettuce, tomato and onion into small pieces (about 1-2cm size).
  3. Lay the bread flat on a table.
  4. Top with sauce to taste. Some strong sauces like bbq shouldn’t be used liberally or it will overpower the salad taste, whilst a pizza-style tomato paste in a generous amount works well.
  5. Add salt and pepper (about 2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp salt).
  6. Top with finely onion, tomato and lettuce.
  7. Top with cheese (optional).
  8. Roll the bread into a wrap, like a doner kebab or tortilla. Make sure the bottom flap is folded inside so the sauce won’t drip and the ingredients won’t fall out from the bottom.
  9. Place in the pre-heated oven. After 4 minutes, tap the bread. If crisp, take out of oven, otherwise keep checking every minute. Undercooking won’t give you the crisp, warm texture you want, whilst overcooking will burn the salad inside making it bitter and make the bread brittle.
  10. Eat immediately, with your hands. If too large for one person, cut in half for two.
