Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat tortillas

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips

1 small eggplant, sliced into rounds

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup fresh spinach or arugula

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Handful of black olives, sliced (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. In a large bowl, toss together the zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

    Grill the Vegetables: Place the vegetables on the grill in a single layer. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.

      Assemble the Wraps: Spread 1/2 cup of hummus evenly over each whole wheat tortilla, leaving about an inch border at the edges. Layer the grilled veggies over the hummus, followed by a handful of fresh spinach or arugula, and sprinkle with feta cheese and olives, if using.

        Wrap It Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla, ensuring the fillings are secured. If needed, use a toothpick to help hold the wrap together or wrap it in parchment paper for easy handling.

          Optional – Toast the Wraps: For a warm and crispy finish, place the wraps back on the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and heated through.

            Serve: Slice in half diagonal and serve with a side of additional hummus or a fresh salad.
