When I first tried making a grilled veggie wrap, I was surprised by how much flavor the vegetables developed when grilled. The high heat brings out their natural sweetness, while a touch of olive oil and seasoning creates a perfect exterior. I love experimenting with different combinations of veggies, from bell peppers to zucchini, and each choice adds its own unique character to the wrap.

One tip that I’ve found invaluable is to let the grilled veggies cool slightly before assembling the wrap. This prevents the wrap from getting soggy and keeps the flavors bright and fresh. The addition of a tangy sauce ties it all together, making every bite a satisfying experience!

Choosing the Right Vegetables

The beauty of this wrap lies in its versatility, allowing you to choose vegetables based on your preference and seasonal availability. While the recipe highlights bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, options like eggplant, asparagus, or even mushrooms can easily replace them. Just remember that each veggie has a different grilling time; for example, mushrooms may take a bit longer to become tender, so cut them thicker or pre-cook them briefly before adding to the grill.

It's essential to slice your vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking. Aim for bites about half an inch thick, which allows them to achieve that delightful char on the grill while remaining tender. Uneven slices can result in some pieces being undercooked while others may become overly soft.

Customizing Your Wrap

Feel free to get creative with the spread! Hummus provides a creamy base that balances the smoky flavors of the grilled vegetables. However, you can swap it out for avocado, tzatziki, or a yogurt-based dressing for a different flavor profile. Adding a touch of spice to your spread, like sriracha or smoked paprika, can elevate the wrap even more.

For added protein, consider including grilled chicken strips, chickpeas, or even quinoa within the wrap. This not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds satisfying texture and heartiness. If you're making these wraps for meal prep, keep the ingredients separate until you are ready to eat, preventing sogginess.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious wrap:

Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Grill the Vegetables

Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.

Spread and Assemble

Spread hummus on each tortilla, then layer the grilled vegetables on top. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle fresh herbs before wrapping tightly.

Serve

Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for a portable meal.

Enjoy your homemade wrap fresh off the grill!

Pro Tips

Feel free to customize the veggies based on what you have on hand. Adding feta cheese or avocado can elevate the flavors even further!

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

If you want to prepare these wraps in advance, consider grilling the vegetables ahead of time and storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This allows the flavors to meld and can save you time during busy days. Just be sure to keep the tortillas separate until you're ready to assemble to maintain freshness.

As for leftovers, these wraps can be kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours after assembly. When reheating, I recommend removing any fresh herbs and using a pan over medium-low heat for the best results. This helps to preserve the wrap's texture without making the tortillas tough.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these satisfying wraps with a light side salad of mixed greens and a zesty vinaigrette for a complete meal. The freshness of the salad provides a nice contrast to the smoky, grilled flavors of the wrap. Alternatively, try serving them with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a quinoa salad.

For gatherings, slice the wraps into pinwheels for an appealing appetizer, perfect for shareable plates. You can also offer a selection of spreads for guests to personalize their wraps, transforming this dish into an interactive eating experience.
