How to Make Mediterranean Veggie Wraps

Before You Begin:
Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients. Wash hands, cutting boards, and knives before and after handling fresh produce to reduce cross-contamination. Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated until assembly.

  1. Prepare the Vegetables
    Wash and slice cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and onions.
    Pat everything completely dry to help the wraps stay crisp.
  2. Lay Out the Wraps
    Place tortillas or lavash on a clean surface.
    If wraps feel stiff, warm briefly to prevent tearing.
  3. Spread the Hummus
    Add a generous, even layer of hummus, leaving space around the edges.
  4. Add Vegetables and Cheese
    Layer cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and greens.
    Sprinkle feta or your chosen cheese on top.
  5. Roll Tightly
    Fold in the sides and roll firmly from the bottom up to keep fillings secure.
  6. Slice & Serve
    Cut in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate.

How to Serve Mediterranean Veggie Wraps

These wraps pair well with:

  • Fresh fruit
  • Pita chips
  • Simple green or grain salads
  • Lentil or vegetable soup
  • Roasted vegetables

For gatherings, slice them into pinwheels and arrange on a platter.


Storage & Food Safety

  • Refrigerator: Wrap tightly in parchment or foil and store up to 2–3 days.
  • Meal Prep Tip: For best texture, keep vegetables and hummus separate and assemble shortly before eating.
  • Pack Safely: Keep chilled until serving; refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
  • Do Not Freeze: Freezing affects texture of vegetables and hummus.

Common Mistakes

  • Not drying vegetables: Excess moisture makes the wrap soggy.
  • Overfilling the wrap: Too many ingredients cause tearing and difficulty rolling.
  • Using stiff wraps: Cold or dry wraps crack — warm slightly before rolling.
  • Adding wet ingredients first: Keep tomatoes/cucumbers in the center to avoid leaking.
  • Skipping seasoning: A small pinch of salt, pepper, or lemon brightens the flavor.

Mediterranean Veggie Wraps FAQ

1. Can I make these wraps ahead?
Yes. Store vegetables, hummus, and extras separately, then assemble before eating. If making fully ahead, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to two days.

2. What spread works if I don’t want to use hummus?
Tzatziki, baba ganoush, herbed cream cheese, roasted red pepper spread, or a light pesto all work well and offer different flavor profiles.

3. Can I add protein?
Yes. Chickpeas, grilled tofu, falafel, hard-boiled eggs, or cooked chicken pair well with Mediterranean ingredients and add more substance.

4. How do I keep wraps from becoming soggy?
Pat all vegetables dry, especially cucumbers and tomatoes. Spreading hummus across the bottom of the wrap helps create a moisture barrier. Using sturdier wraps or lavash also helps.

5. Are gluten-free wraps an option?
Yes. Gluten-free tortillas or lavash work well. If they feel stiff, warm them briefly to make rolling easier.

6. What vegetables work best?
Cucumbers, peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, and lettuce are common choices. Roasted vegetables or herbs like parsley or dill can also be added.

7. Are these wraps good for lunchboxes?
Yes. Once rolled tightly, they travel well. Keep them chilled until serving for the best texture.
