Step by Step

Step 1: Preparing the Tomatoes

1. In a pan, add the 200 ml of peeled tomatoes along with their juice. They will form the delicious base of our sauce.
2. Heat the pan over medium heat and add 30 ml of olive oil to enhance the flavors.
3. Let the tomatoes simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to combine the flavors.
4. After this time, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce obtained and season with salt, pepper, soy sauce, and paprika.
5. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 2: Preparing the Wraps

1. While the sauce is simmering, you can prepare the wraps. Heat them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them easier to wrap.
2. Once the wraps are warm, spread each wrap with the prepared tomato sauce.
3. Add the crispy strips to each wrap, then sprinkle the grated cheese and parmesan on top. Don’t forget to add thyme for an extra touch of flavor!

Step 3: Wrapping and Cooking the Sandwich

1. After adding all the ingredients, fold the wrap in half, ensuring the filling stays well secured.
2. Using a brush or your fingers, brush the top of the wrap with a little olive oil.
3. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and place the wrap with the oiled side down.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy.
5. Carefully flip the wrap and brush the other side with olive oil, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
6. When the sandwich is perfectly browned, remove it from the pan and cut it in half to enjoy!
