Swapping the flour tortilla for a vegetable one gives you a big, filling wrap for relatively few calories. It tastes excellent, but peeling the veggie wrap cleanly off the parchment takes patience. Save it for an evening when you have time to fuss a little.
Method
Heat the oven to 180 °C and line a tray with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini, carrot and cheese, then mix them well with the egg.
Spread the mixture over the tray in a thin, even layer.
Bake, checking often, until the edges brown and the sheet holds together.
Meanwhile, cook the chopped onion and ground beef in a pan with salt and black pepper.
Let the baked wrap rest for a few minutes, then carefully peel it off the parchment.
Spread the beef filling and greens over the wrap and roll it up tightly.
Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side as a dip.

Tips
- The veggie wrap tends to stick to the paper; letting it rest before peeling helps keep it from tearing.
- Keeping the filling simple holds the total near 800 kcal; extra sauces and toppings push it up quickly.
