Grilled Veggie Wrap

 
Ingredients:
Hummus
Avocado
Spinach
Eggplant
Zucchini
Red Onion
Red and Green Chili
Capsicum (Red Pepper)
Wholemeal wraps

Method:
Spread hummus and avocado and layer the rest of the ingredients, fold and grill until browned. 

Grilled veggies:
I use the Swiss Diamond Grill Plate for my grilled veggies. They do not stick and I can control the temperature much better than with a BBQ.

Place chili on grill whole, do not cut open and turn once sides become darkened. Slice veggies and place on grill, season top with salt and pepper. Turn veggies once grill lines appear. When grill lines appear on other side remove from grill and place in a metal bowl. Do not over cook as veggies will continue to cook in the bowl. Continue cooking the rest of the veggies with the same method and then add them to the bowl. When chili is blacken, place on cutting board, cut top off and slice down the middle. Remove seeds (unless you really like heat) and slice into strips, add to veggies. Once all veggies are grilled squeeze half a lemon over them and toss. Add 1 tbsp flaxseed oil and 2 tbsp Olive oil. Toss to coat.
