"I got this recipe from a library cookbook from the 1970s. When I went to find the cookbook and author later, I hit a dead end. This recipe was 20+ years ahead of its time. Who knew then that this would become one of the ever popular sandwich "wraps"? It does take a little preparation, but I liked the fact that this can be wrapped in cling wrap and keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days without losing its flavor. Nice make ahead for a picnic or brown bag lunch."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
To barbecue onions; heat oil in a skillet over medium/high heat and saute onions until softened but not brown.
Step 2
Add barbecue sauce of your choice and stir until onion is wilted. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine broccoli and cauliflower in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of water in microwave and cook on "High" for about 2 minutes, just until veggies are slightly tender. Drain.
Step 4
Combine broccoli/cauliflower with carrots, cabbage, and squash.
Step 5
Spread each tortilla with mayonnaise, then put a line of broccoli/cauliflower/veggie mixture down the center of the tortilla, a line of dill pickle, a line of barbecued onions, a line of lettuce and alfalfa, a slice or two of avocado.Sprinkle to taste with salt.
Step 6
Fold in ends and roll tortilla tightly around vegetables.
Step 7
