Roasted Vegetable Wraps are perfect when you need to use up fresh vegetables at the end of the week. Did you over buy on vegetables this week? Perfect solution… roast them up and eat them with tortillas.
This meal tastes great and cleans out your refrigerator at the same time! Often times I don’t look at what vegetables this recipe calls for or quantities. I add vegetables to my sheet pans and roast them.
If I cook too many vegetables then I will eat them on the side of something else, make a frittata or add them to lettuce to jazz up a salad.
Nutrition Highlights
Everyone has their own nutritional deficiencies and goals they are trying to manage on a daily basis. Our household is trying to accomplish anti-inflammatory, high protein and high fiber. It’s not easy and every meal does not always meet the mark.
We try to focus on making sure we incorporate a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, berries, fatty fish, healthy oils, lean protein, legumes, fermented foods, nuts, warm spices, and whole grains through the week. We really try to limit or not eat fried foods, processed cheeses, processed meats, packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and baked sweets.

I am assuming you have salt and pepper. It is not included in pantry and spices.
Keep in mind you can substitute whatever roasted vegetables you like. Also, you can make your own vinaigrette. If you don’t like black beans then add beans you do like. Recipes are really a suggestion and starting place.
