Steps

Before you start
  • Have leftover roasted vegetables at room temperature or gently warmed
  • Gather all components before assembling so wraps don't get soggy
  1. Warm tortillas

    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Warm each tortilla for 15–20 seconds per side, until pliable and lightly marked.
    • Transfer to a clean cutting board.

    Ready when: Tortillas are soft and pliable with light char marks

    Tip: Don't skip warming—cold tortillas crack when rolled.

  2. Prepare vegetables and dressing

    • While tortillas warm, gently toss the roasted zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant together in a bowl.
    • Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
    • Set aside.

    Ready when: Vegetables are coated evenly with dressing

    Tip: Don't overdress—soggy wraps fall apart. A light coating is enough.

  3. Assemble wraps

    • Lay a warmed tortilla on a cutting board.
    • Spread 3–4 tablespoons of hummus across the center in a thin layer, leaving 1 inch at the top and bottom.
    • Layer fresh spinach evenly, then the warm roasted vegetables, then crumbled feta.
    • Scatter fresh herbs over the filling.

    Ready when: All fillings are layered and visible inside the tortilla

    Tip: Don't overfill—keep filling to the center third of the tortilla to ensure it rolls cleanly.

  4. Roll and serve

    • Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in both sides slightly to seal the ends.
    • Roll tightly away from you until the wrap is fully closed.
    • Slice in half diagonally if desired.
    • Repeat with the second tortilla.
    • Serve immediately.

    Ready when: Wrap is tightly rolled and holds together

    Tip: A gentle, firm roll prevents cracks. If using parchment, wrap each half to hold it closed.

Good to know

Tips
  • If your roasted vegetables are cold, warm them gently in the skillet with a little olive oil for 1–2 minutes—warm vegetables seal better inside the wrap and taste fresher.
  • Make sure your tortillas are warm and pliable; cold tortillas are stiff and prone to cracking when rolled. The skillet warms them perfectly without making them dry.
  • For meal-prep wraps, assemble without the fresh greens and herbs; add these just before eating so they don't wilt in storage.
  • Leftover roasted vegetables from last night's dinner are ideal here—this is a smart way to repurpose them into something new and delicious.
Make ahead

You can prep all components 1–2 hours ahead: roast vegetables, make hummus, chop herbs. Store in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble wraps just before serving so the tortilla stays soft and fillings don't soak through.

Storage & reheating

Wrapped tightly in parchment or foil, refrigerate up to 1 day (the tortilla softens slightly as it sits). For best texture, consume within 4 hours of assembly. Leftover roasted vegetables keep refrigerated for 4–5 days; leftover hummus keeps for 1 week.

Substitutions
  • fresh baby spinach or arugula → Mixed greens, kale, or romaine lettuce. Use crisp, tender varieties that won't overpower the delicate roasted vegetables.
  • crumbled feta cheese → Crumbled goat cheese or ricotta salata. Both offer similar tang and texture; adjust amount to taste.
  • smooth hummus (store-bought or homemade) → Tzatziki, labneh, or ricotta mixed with lemon and garlic. These provide creaminess with different flavor profiles.
  • fresh parsley or dill → Fresh mint or basil. Mint adds brightness; basil adds earthiness. Use 2 tablespoons chopped.
