Tasty Veggie Wraps

Fire-kissed veggie wraps bring out the best in seasonal produce, letting their natural goodness shine through smoky goodness. When veggies hit the grill, their edges turn golden brown while their middles stay tender, creating amazing texture inside a soft tortilla. These handy meals work just as well for a casual lunch as they do for dinner, and you can switch things up based on what's in season or what you're craving.

I first tried making these wraps during a summer when I couldn't keep up with all the zucchini from my garden. I was tired of making bread and casseroles, so I threw some on the grill and was blown away by how tasty it became. Now these wraps show up on my table all the time, and they win over even my friends who always ask for meat.

Wonderful Ingredients

• Zucchini: Gets super tender but still holds its shape, soaking up all that smoky flavor.
• Red bell peppers: Turn extra sweet when grilled until the edges get a bit black.
• Red onions: Lose their sharp bite and turn mild and yummy over the heat.
• Hummus: Makes a smooth base that keeps everything together and adds some good protein.
• Black olives: Give a salty kick that works really well with the sweet grilled veggies.
• Feta cheese: Adds a tangy creaminess and extra protein that makes the wrap more filling.
• Lettuce: Gives that needed crunch so your wrap isn't just soft on soft.

Cooking Process

Getting Veggies Ready:

Look for firm, colorful vegetables and give them a good wash before drying them off. Cut zucchini into long, thin slices about a quarter-inch thick. Take out the seeds from your bell peppers and cut them into wide strips. Slice your red onion into thick rings.

Grilling Know-How:

Get your grill or grill pan nice and hot - it's ready when water droplets dance on the surface. Brush your veggies with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay them on the grill with space between each piece so they don't steam.

Putting It All Together:

Warm your tortillas quickly on the grill until they're soft. Spread a thick layer of hummus all over. Add your grilled veggies down the middle, slightly overlapping them. Scatter olives and crumbled feta on top, then add your lettuce, making sure you'll get a bit of everything in each bite.

I still love zucchini best in these wraps, even after making them for years. I grew up next to my grandpa's big garden where he grew tons of this summer squash. He taught me so patiently that if you cook zucchini just right, it goes from boring to amazing.

Perfect Pairings

These colorful wraps taste great with a cool cucumber yogurt dip that balances out the smoky vegetables. A simple side of quinoa tossed with tiny cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs makes the meal more filling and adds more protein. For something sweet, try serving cut watermelon with a sprinkle of mint leaves for a clean, refreshing taste after each bite.

Tasty Twists

Try adding asparagus or sliced portobello mushrooms when you want deeper flavors in spring or fall. Switch out hummus for tzatziki if you're going for more Greek flavors. During summer, throw some peach or nectarine slices on the grill for unexpected sweetness. Fresh herbs like basil or mint added just before rolling will give your wrap an amazing smell and bright taste.

Storing Extra Food

If you're planning meals ahead, keep all the parts separate. Store your grilled veggies in containers with tight lids in the fridge for up to four days. When you're ready to eat, warm the veggies quickly in a pan or microwave. Don't put your wrap together until right before eating so the lettuce stays crisp while the veggies are warm.

Whether I'm making a quick lunch or setting up a nice spread for friends, these wraps show that good food doesn't need to be complicated or expensive to be memorable and worth sharing.
