  4. Using the remaining oil in the pan, stir-fry the marinated meat until browned. Set aside to cool.
  5. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and ketchup together to create a sauce.
  6. Place a bread/wrap on a clean surface and spread with the mayo-ketchup mixture.
  7. Layer vegetables, cooked meat, and sausage on top.
  8. Drizzle more sauce over the filling.
  9. Fold the wrap tightly, tucking in the edges.
  10. Heat a pan on medium heat and place the wrap seam-side down for 1-2 minutes to seal. Flip and heat the other side.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
