Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup assorted grilled vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, etc.)
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 2 whole wheat wraps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing zucchini and bell peppers into thin, uniform strips approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure even grilling.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Brush the vegetable slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating to create nice grill marks. The vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
- Remove grilled vegetables from heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.
- Warm the whole wheat wraps in a skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the center of each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the grilled vegetable strips in the center of each wrap, distributing them evenly.
- Fold the bottom of the wrap up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a sealed wrap.
- Optional: Lightly toast the wrapped side on a grill pan to create a crisp exterior.
- Cut each wrap diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Vegetable Preparation: Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even grilling and consistent cooking. The key is to cut them about 1/4 inch thick for optimal texture.
- Grill Master Technique: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to achieve those beautiful char marks. Brush vegetables with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Hummus Hack: Use a high-quality hummus or make your own for an extra flavor boost. Spread it generously but leave a small border to prevent messy spillage when wrapping.
- Wrap Like a Pro: Warm your wraps slightly to make them more pliable and less likely to crack when folding. The technique is to fold the bottom up first, then fold in the sides before rolling tightly.
- Optional Crisp Factor: For an extra touch of deliciousness, lightly toast the wrapped side on a grill pan to create a crispy exterior.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture. Cut diagonally for a beautiful presentation that's perfect for Instagram-worthy food shots!
