Method

Step 1

Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped ginger and garlic.  Sauté for 1 minute. Then add diced onions and sauté  for 2 minutes. Add chopped tomato and carrot and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the diced capsicums (bell peppers), chopped chillies, salt and black pepper powder. Sauté all the veggies for 4-5 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir once. Switch-off the flame. Make sure the veggies are not fully cooked. Keep this mixture aside.

Step 2
Take 1 tortilla. Sprinkle little mozzarella cheese in the center. Now put the veggie mixture in the center too. Add  some chilli sauce if you like it hot (optional). Sprinkle more mozzarella cheese. Now roll it up to make a wrap. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas. (You can use a tooth-pick to keep the wrap firm)

Step 3
Preheat the grill or griddle (tava) for 1-2 minutes.
For grill – Put some olive oil on the front and back of the wrap and put it on the grill.
For griddle (tava) – Put 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in the center. Heat it for 1 minute. Now lay the tortilla wrap on it.

Step 4
Grill it till golden brown from all sides.

Step 5
Take it out, cut it into 3-4 pieces and serve hot with salsa, sour cream or chilli sauce.
