Whether you're preparing a light lunch or a nutritious snack, this wrap combines fresh vegetables with creamy mayonnaise and savory cheddar cheese, all tucked inside a soft tortilla.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the lettuce thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
- Slice the tomato into three even slices.
- Grate or thinly slice the cheddar cheese if not already prepared.
- Optional: To make the tortilla more pliable, you can warm it up. This can be done by heating it in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds on each side, until it becomes soft and warm to the touch. Alternatively, you can microwave it for about 10-15 seconds.
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
- Spread 1 tbsp of mayonnaise salad dressing evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when wrapping.
- Place the lettuce evenly over the tortilla.
- Arrange the tomato slices on top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle or layer the cheddar cheese over the tomatoes.
- Carefully fold one side of the tortilla over the fillings.
- Tuck in the ends and continue rolling the tortilla tightly to form a wrap.
- Ensure the wrap is secure, and none of the contents spill out.
- Cut the wrap diagonally in half if desired for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and delicious Tomato and Lettuce Wrap!
Tips:
- Choose whole-grain or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
- Add a dash of seasoning, such as black pepper or a sprinkle of salt, to enhance the flavors.
- For added protein, consider including cooked chicken, turkey slices, or tofu.
- If you like some spice, add a few slices of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Use a large leaf of lettuce to wrap the ingredients for a low-carb version without the tortilla.
- To keep the wrap fresh and prevent sogginess, add the mayonnaise right before eating.
