- Vegetables: 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch strips; 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips; 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips; 1 small red onion, sliced into rings; 1 small eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- Marinade: 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar; 1 tsp dried oregano; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/2 tsp sea salt; 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Wraps & Fillings: 4 large whole wheat tortillas or flatbreads; 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade); 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese; 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves; 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Prepare the grill
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Make the marinade
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and eggplant. Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill the vegetables
- Grill the vegetables in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until tender and lightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm the tortillas
- Warm the tortillas or flatbreads briefly on the grill or in a dry skillet.
- Assemble the wraps
- To assemble each wrap, spread 1/4 cup hummus onto a tortilla. Layer with grilled vegetables, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Finish and serve
- Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half and serve immediately.
For the best flavor, allow the grilled vegetables to cool slightly before assembling the wraps—this prevents the hummus from becoming too warm and runny. If you're short on time, you can use jarred roasted red peppers instead of grilling fresh ones. The marinade can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
These wraps are incredibly versatile. For a protein boost, add grilled chicken, crispy falafel, or even canned chickpeas. Make it vegan by omitting the feta or substituting with a dairy-free alternative. For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas or large lettuce leaves instead of wheat-based wraps. Spice lovers can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
These Mediterranean wraps make a complete meal on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a simple Greek salad, a cup of lemon orzo soup, or crispy baked potato wedges. For entertaining, cut the wraps into pinwheels and serve as appetizers with extra hummus for dipping. A glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light rosé complements the fresh flavors beautifully.
Save to Pinterest Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner, a portable lunch option, or a crowd-pleasing party dish, these Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable Wraps deliver vibrant flavors and wholesome nutrition in every bite.
