Vegan GRILLED CABBAGE WRAP

Ingredients:

• 1 small head of cabbage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Warm water (as needed)
• Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:
   • Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into thick slices (about 1 inch thick), keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
   • Brush each slice with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Grill the Cabbage:
   • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
   • Grill the cabbage slices for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook, so they hold their shape.
3. Prepare the Tahini Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a creamy, pourable consistency.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.
   • Place a grilled cabbage slice in the center of each tortilla.
   • Top with shredded carrot, cucumber slices, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
   • Drizzle with the tahini sauce.
5. Serve:
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• Variations: Add other veggies like bell peppers, red onions, or sprouts for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Protein Boost: Include grilled tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for added protein.
• Spicy Kick: Add some sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to the tahini sauce for a spicy version.
