How to Make Copycat Ronto Wraps
-
Heat the Skillet: Start by heating a grill pan or medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the smoked sausage links and cook for about 6 minutes, turning them halfway through.
-
Brown the Sausages: Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sausages for an additional 2 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully browned and heated through. Transfer them to a dish and set aside.
-
Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a creamy peppercorn sauce.
-
Mix the Slaw Dressing: Grab a jam jar and combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Shake until the ingredients are well mixed, and the honey is completely dissolved.
-
Prepare the Coleslaw: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot. Drizzle the slaw dressing over the veggies and toss to ensure everything is well coated.
-
Warm the Flatbreads: If you wish, warm the flatbreads in the microwave for a few seconds or in a skillet until they’re soft and pliable, making them easier to wrap around your fillings.
-
Assemble Your Wraps: On a plate, place a flatbread and spread a couple of tablespoons of the peppercorn sauce. Add a sausage, then top with the crunchy coleslaw. Garnish with fresh herbs if you’d like, then serve immediately.
Optional: Try adding a squeeze of fresh lime for an extra zing!
