Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweetcorn:

  • If using fresh sweetcorn, boil it in salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and let it cool.

  • Season with salt, pepper, cumin powder, and paprika (if using). Mix gently to combine all the ingredients well.

3. Prepare the Tortillas:

  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

4. Assemble the Wraps:

  • Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  • Place a handful of shredded lettuce or spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla (if using).
  • Spoon a generous amount of the sweetcorn, tomato, and avocado mixture onto the lettuce.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese or vegan cheese on top (if using).

5. Wrap It Up:

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

6. Serve:

  • Cut the wraps in half diagonally for easy eating.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For added flavor, you can drizzle a bit of your favorite dressing or a dollop of sour cream/yogurt inside the wrap.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a few hours. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
