- Spread zucchini, peppers, and onions on a baking sheet.

- Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly caramelized and tender around the edges.
- Set aside and let them cool slightly before adding them to the wraps.
2. Season the Chickpeas
- In a bowl, mix chickpeas with lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
- Mash lightly with a fork so some chickpeas stay whole and others become creamy for texture balance.
3. Make the Whipped Feta
- Blend feta, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
- Or mash by hand for a chunkier, rustic texture.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
4. Mix the Tahini Drizzle
- Whisk tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt until smooth and pourable.
- Adjust water as needed for consistency.
5. Assemble the Wraps

FAQ — High-Protein Mediterranean Chickpea Power Wraps
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes. These wraps hold up well for 2–3 days in the refrigerator. For the best texture, store the whipped feta, chickpeas, and roasted vegetables separately and assemble the wraps the day you plan to eat them. If you prefer to pre-assemble, wrap them tightly in parchment and keep the tahini drizzle on the side.
How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?
The two biggest tricks are drying your roasted vegetables and keeping moisture-heavy ingredients in the center of the wrap. Avoid placing cucumbers or roasted peppers near the edges. A base layer of whipped feta also acts as a moisture barrier.
Can I make these wraps vegan?
Absolutely. Replace the whipped feta with hummus or dairy-free yogurt, and choose plant-based feta for topping. Everything else in the recipe is naturally vegan-friendly.
What wraps are best for this recipe?
Whole wheat, spinach, and high-protein wraps hold up beautifully. Avoid very thin tortillas—they tend to tear once the filling is added. Lavash bread also works well and rolls tightly.
Do I have to roast the vegetables?
Roasting gives more flavor and prevents watery textures, but you can use raw vegetables if you’re in a rush. Just pat them dry and slice them thinly for easier rolling.
Can I add meat to make these wraps higher in protein?
Yes. Grilled Mediterranean chicken breast or leftover lemon herb chicken is excellent here. Many readers also love adding a few slices of roasted turkey for a lighter option.
Can I freeze the wraps?
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended, as the vegetables and dairy-based spread will release water when thawed.
What can I use instead of chickpeas?
Cooked quinoa, white beans, or lentils work as great high-protein alternatives. If you prefer a bit of crunch, add crispy roasted chickpeas or toasted pine nuts.
