Grilled zucchini, tomato, and mozzarella wrap
Fresh, grilled veggies meet a warm tortilla and dinner is ready.
If you're looking to transition to a vegan or plant-based diet, a good step could be trying a lacto-vegetarian meal plan, focusing on plant foods but allowing consumption of cheese and other dairy products — opting for the low-fat or skim varieties as a healthier choice. For a lower sodium version, use low-fat or skim Swiss cheese instead of mozzarella.
This recipe is an example of an easy-to-make vegetarian summer meal using seasonal ingredients. In addition, you can substitute different veggies depending on local availability and personal preferences.
