Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the sweet potatoes. Wash 2 sweet potatoes thoroughly, then microwave them for about 7 minutes until tender. Once cooked, peel them, dice into bite-sized pieces, and mash them smoothly with a fork or masher. In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and mix well to create a creamy and flavorful sweet potato filling.
Step 2
Next, prepare the tortillas. Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly toast each tortilla on both sides without adding any oil. This step makes the tortillas more pliable and prevents them from tearing when you roll them up.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese evenly over the toasted tortilla. The cream cheese acts as a binder for the sweet potato filling. Then, spread the prepared mashed sweet potato mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Avoid making it too thick, as this will make rolling easier.
Step 4
Arrange the cooked chickpeas generously over the sweet potato filling. Chickpeas add a pleasant texture and boost the protein content. Gently press them down with your fingers to help them adhere to the filling.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add the fresh ingredients. Lay 2 perilla leaves (shiso) neatly over the chickpeas and sweet potato mixture. Their aromatic flavor helps cut through any richness. Then, arrange the shredded cooked chicken breast, crisp cucumber, and fresh apple slices attractively on top. Feel free to add other shredded vegetables of your choice.
Step 6
Time for the sauce! Mix mustard and honey, either in a 1:1 ratio or adjusted to your preference. Drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the ingredients layered on the tortilla. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors will enhance the overall taste.
Step 7
Let’s roll it up! Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface. Carefully place the prepared tortilla onto the wrap. Using the plastic wrap to help, tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other. Ensure you roll it firmly to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 8
To secure the roll further and maintain its shape, wrap the rolled tortilla tightly once more with plastic wrap. Make sure to cover the ends of the roll neatly with the plastic wrap. This will help keep the filling intact when you slice it.
Step 9
Finally, slice the sweet potato tortilla roll into desired portions. Cut the roll in half horizontally to reveal the beautiful, ingredient-filled cross-section. Enjoy this healthy and delicious meal!
