Stir and fry the vegetables until they are tender (approx 30 minutes). 

Then add Orient Asian’s red chilli paste to the vegetable, sprinkle salt as per your taste and let the veggies cook in the sauce for five minutes.

  • Prepare the Tortilla

Once your veggie mix is prepared for the vegetarian Mexican wraps, the next step is to prepare the tortilla. You can either purchase a pre-made tortilla packet from any store or prepare it by mixing corn and wheat flour. Then add water and knead it till it turns into a soft dough. Once the dough is prepared, cut the dough into medium-sized pieces and flatten them evenly with a roller. Once done, heat the tortilla in the microwave till it turns slightly brown. 

  • Enjoy the Mexican Wrap

This last step to preparing Mexican wrap is pretty simple. Take the warm tortilla, spread chilli paste as per your taste on it then add your vegetable mix. Add the vertical at the centre of the tortilla and then wrap around the tortilla.
