Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup alfalfa sprouts

½ cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons wasabi paste (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon ginger paste (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup crispy fried onions or tempura bits for crunch

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, wasabi paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger paste (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until smooth and combine all ingredients. Adjust the wasabi based on your spice preference.

    Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the wasabi cream cheese mixture across the middle of the tortilla, leaving about an inch border on the sides.

      Layer the Vegetables: On top of the cream cheese mixture, layer the cucumber slices, julienned carrot, and red bell pepper. Add a handful of alfalfa sprouts for freshness and crunch.

        Add the Crunch: Sprinkle a line of crispy fried onions or tempura bits across the top of the vegetables to add a delightful crunch.

          Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll the wrap from the bottom up to tightly enclose the filling. Ensure all ingredients are securely tucked inside.

            Cut and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the wraps in half, showcasing the colorful layers. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added burst of flavor.

              Nutrition Boost: If you want extra protein, consider adding sliced grilled chicken or tofu before wrapping.
