Special diet substitution ideas#

  • Vegetarian: omit the chicken and bacon. Add 25g grated edam cheese and 25g cooked falafel to each wrap.
  • Vegan: omit the chicken, bacon and parmesan cheese. Replace with 60g cooked falafel per wrap. Use vegan mayonnaise.
  • Halal: omit bacon. Add 10g more of halal certified chicken per wrap.
  • Dairy (cow's milk): omit parmesan cheese.
  • Egg: use egg-free mayonnaise.
  • Soy: use soy-free mayonnaise.
  • Gluten (wheat): use gluten-free wraps. 
     
Tip

  • Make these wraps as close to serving as possible as the lettuce will wilt over time.
  • This wrap is also great with boiled egg, croutons and avocado added.
  • If your ākonga | students do not like parmesan, replace with edam or another cheese.
  • Use any seasonal fruit available instead of banana.
