Ingredients Needed
- 4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup hummus
- Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil), chopped
- Optional: feta cheese or avocado slices
Instructions for Preparation
Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the vegetables are grilling, lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of hummus on each tortilla. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the hummus for added flavor.
Once the vegetables are grilled, arrange them evenly on top of the hummus and herbs. For extra flavor, add feta cheese or avocado slices if desired.
Carefully roll up the tortillas, folding in the sides as you go, to form wraps. Cut in half diagonally if preferred, and serve immediately.
Health Benefits of These Wraps
This recipe is rich in vegetables, which provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The hummus adds healthy plant-based fats and protein, making the wraps satisfying and nutritious. Using whole wheat tortillas increases fiber intake, supporting digestive health.
