Methood:
(Veggie)
First, warm up those tortillas (To make it easy to wrap) for exactly 10 seconds, in the microwave oven. Keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel, till you are ready to make it. Then, distribute those 3 kinds of vegetables and put them in the middle of the tortillas. Add some beans and shredded marble/mozzarella cheese. Start rolling. Start from your end to roll it (Moderately) tight, just once. Then, you bring the 2 ends from your left and right towards the centre & continue rolling. By then, make sure a saute/frying pan is ready with the oil, the heat should be on a low-mid. Turn the fire off. Put those wrap in the oil (Cook 3-4 wraps at a time). Cook it just for 10 seconds or, till you get a nice desired golden colour. Turn it over and cook for exactly 5-6 seconds. Place them on a (Greased) baking tray. Put some tomato sauce on top and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese first and then some mozzarella cheese, and if you have a salamander then broil it just for 5 seconds or, in an oven for about 3 min or, till you get a nice melted but golden cheesy colour on top. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf. Serve hot. Awesome taste and flavour!
