Ingredients

• Ground cumin: warms up the flavors Freshly ground makes a difference if you have it
• Salt and black pepper: draw out all the natural flavors Use sea salt and freshly cracked pepper if you can
• Dill pickle chips: add bright tang and crunch Drain them well so they do not make the wrap soggy Choose zippy garlicky pickles if possible
• Red cabbage: brings color crunch and a hint of earthiness Pick a dense small head for maximum freshness
• Baby spinach leaves: add a fresh leafy element Look for crisp leaves with no wilt
• Carrot: gives bite and a little sweetness Go for firm brightly colored carrots
• Red onion: adds sharpness Slice it very thinly to keep it mellow
• Greek yogurt: supplies a creamy tang If using plant based choose a thick coconut or cashew yogurt for richness

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Heat your oven to four twenty five degrees Fahrenheit or two twenty Celsius Place a sheet of parchment onto your baking sheet to keep the sweet potatoes from sticking and to make cleanup faster

Season and Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

Peel and dice your sweet potatoes into half inch cubes Toss them in a bowl with olive oil smoked paprika cumin salt and pepper Stir till every cube is coated Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet Roast for twenty five to thirty minutes flipping halfway Watch for edges to caramelize and the centers to turn fork tender This step creates the sweet smoky backbone of the wrap

Prepare the Creamy Dill Sauce:

While the sweet potatoes roast whisk together Greek yogurt mayonnaise Dijon mustard lemon juice and chopped dill with a pinch of salt and pepper Stir until smooth Taste and tweak with more lemon or dill if you like I find this sauce absolutely ties together all the flavors

Prep the Fresh Veggies:

Shred red cabbage finely slice onions julienne carrot and gently rinse the spinach Pat everything dry so the wrap stays crisp Set out your pickle chips and veggies so they are ready for assembly

Warm the Wraps:

Heat each tortilla briefly in a dry skillet or in the microwave till just pliable This step makes them easier to roll and less likely to tear while stuffing later

Assemble Each Wrap:

Lay a tortilla out flat Spread two tablespoons of the creamy dill sauce over the middle Layer in a quarter of the roasted sweet potatoes a handful of pickle chips some cabbage spinach carrot and onion Stack thoughtfully so every bite is chewy crunchy creamy and fresh

Roll and Serve:

Fold in the sides of your wrap and roll tightly from the bottom up Slice in half if serving right away If packing for lunch wrap in foil to keep everything snug and tidy

Save

My personal favorite is the punchy fresh dill in the sauce It reminds me of the herb gardens my grandmother kept behind her kitchen where I first learned to snip dill into everything from eggs to salads Making these wraps always brings back that fresh earthy smell and a sense of home

Storage Tips

Store assembled wraps tightly wrapped in foil or beeswax paper in the fridge for up to twenty four hours The roasted sweet potatoes and chopped veggies can be prepped and kept in airtight containers for three days To keep the tortillas from getting soggy pack the sauce separately and add just before eating

Ingredient Substitutions

For gluten free use cassava or certified gluten free wraps Swap out baby spinach for arugula or any leafy green Red cabbage can be substituted with green cabbage or even a handful of coleslaw mix Pick any creamy yogurt or mayo base that matches your dietary needs If dill is not your favorite try fresh parsley or tarragon

Serving Suggestions

These wraps are best with kettle chips pickled vegetables or a simple green salad For extra flair add sliced avocado crumbled feta or chickpeas on top If serving for a party cut each wrap into bite stacked pieces and secure with toothpicks

Cultural and Seasonal Notes

With its mix of roasted vegetables and bright crisp pickles this wrap brings together flavors often seen in Eastern European and American home cooking Sweet potatoes in late fall or winter are especially rich and flavorful but you can swap in winter squash or roasted beets in a pinch For summer a quick grill on the sweet potatoes and wrap assembly outdoors makes these a hit for picnics

Seasonal Adaptations

Roast cubes of winter squash instead of sweet potato for autumn Swap in shredded raw kale or spring greens when spinach is not available Add sliced cucumber or pickled red onions in summer for a cool crunch

Success Stories

Friends who claim they do not like pickles always end up loving these wraps My niece once asked if I could make them for her birthday picnic and even the kids in her class wanted the recipe If you want to get picky eaters excited about vegetables this wrap is a winner

Freezer Meal Conversion

Roasted sweet potatoes freeze beautifully After cooling store in flat Ziplock bags for up to three months Thaw overnight in the fridge for quick wrap assembly The sauce and fresh components are much better made fresh
