Instructions

1

Peel and coarsely grate the beets. Slice leeks into thin rings. Mince garlic and chop parsley.

Tip: Be careful with beet juice staining. Use the green leek parts too for flavor.
2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté leeks until they start to brown and smell sweet.

Tip: Caramelizing the onions brings out depth (Maillard reaction).
3

Add grated beets to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened but still textured.

Tip: Cooking evaporates excess water so the wrap stays crisp.
4

Remove from heat. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste; it should be slightly tangy.

Tip: Add garlic at the end to prevent burning.
5

Spread 1 tbsp peanut butter on each tortilla. Top with beet mixture and parsley.

Tip: The fat in peanut butter prevents the bread from absorbing moisture.
6

Roll up the wraps. Toast in a dry hot pan for 1 minute per side to crisp up.

Tip: Toasting seals the seam.

Recipe FAQ

Substitute for peanut butter?
Tahini or almond butter works great for a similar creamy texture.
Will it get soggy?
Not if you sauté the moisture out of the beets. The peanut butter also acts as a barrier.
Which wrap to use?
Whole wheat or seeded tortillas hold up best.
