Step 1: Wash and prepare the vegetables: Rinse and chop the desired vegetables for the veggie wrap. Common options include lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes. Set them aside.

Step 2: Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Warm the tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla at a time on the skillet and warm for about 20 seconds on each side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Alternatively, you can warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 4: Spread the dressing: Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the dressing evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5: Add the vegetables: Place a handful of the prepared vegetables on top of the dressing, arranging them in a line across the center of the tortilla. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 6: Roll the wrap: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the vegetables, then fold in the sides. Roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, enclosing the vegetables completely. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 7: Serve or store: Cut the veggie wraps in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to store in the refrigerator for later consumption.
