Ingredients

• ✓2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch planks
• ✓1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
• ✓1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and quartered
• ✓1 red onion, cut into thick wedges (root attached)
• ✓2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat or place a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Place the vegetables on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until tender and distinct char marks appear. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Once cool enough to handle, slice the peppers and zucchini into strips and roughly chop the onion wedges.
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or quickly on the grill to make them pliable.
6. To assemble, spread about 1/4 cup of hummus over the center of each tortilla.
7. Layer a handful of spinach on top of the hummus, followed by a generous portion of the grilled vegetables.
8. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito.
10. Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately.

Expert Cooking Tips

• ✓Don’t slice your veggies too thin before grilling, or they might fall through the grates or become mushy.
• ✓Warm tortillas are essential; cold tortillas tend to crack when you try to roll them.
• ✓Pat the vegetables dry after washing to ensure they sear and char rather than steam.
• ✓If meal prepping, let the roasted vegetables cool completely before assembling the wrap to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.

Substitutions and Variations

This recipe is incredibly versatile. For a gluten-free option, use certified GF wraps or collard greens. If you are vegan, simply omit the feta cheese or swap it for a plant-based alternative. You can replace the zucchini with eggplant or asparagus, and try using pesto or tzatziki instead of hummus for a different flavor profile.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The most common mistake is overfilling the wrap, which leads to tearing and messy eating. Stick to the recommended amounts per tortilla. Another issue is not cooking the moisture out of the vegetables; zucchini has a high water content, so ensure you grill it until it’s nicely charred to avoid a watery wrap.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps with a side of sweet potato fries, a crisp Greek salad, or a bowl of tomato basil soup. They also pair wonderfully with fresh fruit like watermelon or grapes for a refreshing summer lunch.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover grilled vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you’ve already assembled the wraps, wrap them tightly in parchment paper and foil. They are best eaten within 24 hours to maintain the texture of the tortilla and greens.
