Yields1 ServingPrep Time15 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time25 mins

A blast from my "Fit for Life" past, these delectable, multi-textured Paleo wraps can not only revive your veggie-love, they can give you all the daily servings you need to keep you healthy and kickin"!

Handwich:
 1 cup broccoli
 ½ cup cauliflower, in small florets (optional)
 2 tbsp or more red cabbage, finely grated
 2 tbsp carrot, finely grated
 2 tbsp or more yellow squash, finely grated
 ¼ cup Barbecued Onions (see recipe below) (optional)
 1 Gluten Free or Grain Free tortilla
 1 tbsp mayonnaise or Paleo dressing (try the 1000 Island)
 3 thin slivers dill pickle
 ½ cup dark green lettuce, arugula, or other greens
 ½ cup alfalfa or other sprouts
 2 slices avocado (optional)
 sea salt, Spike, or salt-free seasoning (optional)
Barbecued Qnions:
 2 tsp expeller-pressed oil (I use grapeseed)
 1 small onion or fennel, sliced thinly
 ½ tbsp Hain, Robbie's or other sugar-free BBQ sauce
The Vegetables:
1

Cut broccoli into thin lengths, using only florets and the upper portion of the stalk. Steam broccoli and cauliflower in vegetable steamer, covered, over boiling water for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.

2

Combine carrot, cabbage, and squash, and mix thoroughly.

The Barbecued Onions:
3

In small skillet heat oil. Add onion (fennel) and saute until it begins to soften. Add barbecue sauce and continue sauteing, stirring frequently until onion (fennel) is thoroughly wilted.

4

Makes enough for 3 or 4 handwiches. Leftovers are delicious in any vegetable soup.

Assemble:
5

In hot dry skillet, heat the tortilla, flipping, until soft (don't crisp; you're just softening it so it will roll easily without cracking). Place on a large sheet of plastic.

6

Spread tortilla with mayonnaise or Paleo dressing. Add a line of broccoli down senter. Crumble cauliflower and place a line of it on broccoli. Add a line of pickle, a line of grated vegetables, and a line of Barbecued Onions (Fennel).

7

Top with lettuce, sprouts, and avocado. Sprinkle with Spike or other seasonings of choice.

8

Fold up bottom of tortilla lengthwise on filling, then roll tortilla crepe-style around filling.

9

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap until ready to serve. These will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator (if you hide them!).

10

Cut handwich in half and push plastic wrap partially down, but leave the other end closed to catch the drippy sauces.
