Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Imitation crab meat or cooked lump crab meat
- 4 pieces Whole-grain tortilla wraps
- 60 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 100 grams Cucumber, julienned
- 100 grams Carrot, julienned
- 40 grams Arugula leaves
- 1 teaspoon Harissa paste (or hot chili sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, harissa paste, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to form the spicy dressing.
Add the imitation crab meat or cooked lump crab meat to the bowl with the dressing. Fold gently until the crab is coated evenly. Set aside.
Prepare the whole-grain tortillas by lightly warming them in a dry skillet or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 10 seconds to make them pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the arugula leaves onto each tortilla as the base layer.
Add the julienned cucumber and carrot evenly on top of the arugula.
Spoon the spicy crab mixture onto each tortilla, distributing it evenly across all four wraps.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top of the crab mixture for added freshness.
Starting at one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces or serve whole as a wrap.
Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a chilled option.
