Summer Lunch Diet: 5 Light And Healthy Wrap Recipes

Tired of eating the same thing for lunch every day? Most days, we have roti and sabzi at lunch because all of our cooking and culinary experiments are done for breakfast or dinner. If we bring our lunch to work, putting together the roti, sabzi, curd, and salad might be a chore. On a really hectic day, rather of going through the process of unpacking and wrapping up this type of time-consuming dinner, we simply forgo it. A dull dinner provides us even another reason to avoid it. A fast wrap or roll is a terrific way to make our meal more fun and less messy.
