You probably will have most of the ingredients needed for this Indian style cheese tortilla wrap in your kitchen already. So, go in there, get the ingredients out, and before you know it, your tastebuds will be rejoicing.
To make the masala potato filling for the best cheesy tortilla wrap recipe, you will need cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, green chillies, coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, dried mango powder or amchur, garam masala powder, fresh coriander leaves, boiled, peeled, and roughly mashed potatoes, salt, and oil.
To assemble the cheesy tortilla wrap, you will also require 6 flour tortillas readily available in supermarkets or 6 flour rotis which you can make at home using 1¼ cups all-purpose flour or maida just like you make regular whole-wheat rotis. Many recipes call for flour-based tortillas to make the wraps, but we often use maida rotis made in the Yummefy kitchen for the wraps as they wor out cheaper and turns out delicious too.
Fresh hari chutney gives a slightly spicy and herbaceous flavour to the cheese tortilla wraps, while nylon sev and onions pre-soaked in vinegar impart great flavour and texture to them. Cheese is one of the critical ingredients in this recipe. We use the Go Cheese Pizza Blend cheese which is a ready grated of mix mozzarella and cheddar, along with some additional Go Cheese mozzarella. This combination results in a melting and gooey cheese filling, just the way kids (and I) like it. To toast or grill the wraps you will also need just a smidgen of oil.
The samosa-aloo like filling paired with crispy nylon sev, vinegared onions, hari chutney, and cheese make for a savoury spicy chatpata filling mellowed by the melted cheese, giving the Indian style cheese tortilla wraps a perfectly balanced taste, appreciated by people of all ages.

We are often asked numerous questions related to tortillas by our friends when we serve them at home. If you have any queries related to tortillas, we would be happy to address them in our comments section. Meanwhile, we are sharing answers to other common questions:
It is quite likely that the tortilla pack you buy from the supermarket is semi-cooked or cooked. If the tortillas are semi-cooked they can cause gastro-intestinal issues in those with gut problems or those who react to flour. So it is better to cook the tortillas before you eat them. In this recipe, we grill / toast them in a frying pan, so they are fully cooked by the time you take your first ambrosial bite into our cheese tortilla wraps. Another question we are asked is, ‘Can you toast tortillas?’ Our recipe calls for toasting or grilling the tortilla in a frying pan, so yes, you can toast them with or without oil. They acquire a crispy texture outside which is quite lovely.
No, they are different as roti is usually made from whole wheat flour while tortillas are traditionally made from corn masa but can also be made from all-purpose flour or maida. However, roti covers a large range of Indian breads and can be made out of all-purpose flour or maida like we have done for this cheesy tortilla wrap recipe. In this case, they are almost the same – both are made out of all-purpose flour and both are unleavened breads. They are also both made in a similar process by kneading dough and rolling them into thin pancake-like rounds, which are then cooked atop a griddle or a tawa. All-purpose flour or maida roti can be substituted for tortillas.
There are many ways to make a wrap, but we follow an easy and delicious method in this recipe. We first make the masala potato filling and hari chutney and set aside. Then, we place a flour tortilla or a maida roti on a flat surface such as the counter or on a cutting board, and make a slit in the tortilla from its center point towards ourself using a sharp knife to create two flaps in the bottom half of the tortilla. Watch our detailed easy cheesy tortilla wrap recipe video above for step-by-step instructions to do this in the right manner.
Fill the cheesy tortilla wrap with each of the four fillings i.e. hari chutney, masala potatoes and sev, vinegared onions, and the cheese blend. Fold the wrap following our recipe or follow the video instructions. Grill or toast on a cast-iron frying pan or a skillet for about one minute on each side pressing down with a spatula till the cheese melts nicely.
Serve the cheesy tortilla wrap hot with your choice of sides. We recommend sriracha hot sauce, tomato chutney, or just as is without any accompaniment – they’re that good.
