Grilled Vegetable Wraps with Hummus Recipe

Your Ingredient Lineup for Perfect Wraps

Gathering your ingredients is the first step toward creating these delicious wraps. Using fresh, quality components will make a noticeable difference in the final taste and texture. Here’s what you’ll need and why each one plays a crucial role.

4 lavash wraps: These are ideal because they are thin and pliable, crisping up perfectly when grilled. Whole wheat tortillas are a great substitute if you can’t find lavash.
½ cup hummus: This acts as the creamy, flavorful base. For an extra layer of flavor, try using roasted red pepper hummus.
2 medium zucchini, sliced: When grilled, zucchini becomes tender and develops a lovely smoky flavor. Summer squash or eggplant are also excellent choices.
1 large red onion, sliced: Grilling tames the sharpness of red onion, bringing out its natural sweetness and creating a caramelized texture.
1 tbsp olive oil: Essential for getting that perfect char on the vegetables without them sticking to the grill.
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar + 1 tbsp honey: This combination creates a simple yet elegant tangy and sweet glaze that elevates all the flavors. For a vegan option, maple syrup works just as well.
½ tsp Italian seasoning + ½ tsp kosher salt: These basic seasonings are key to enhancing the natural flavors of the vegetables.
2 oz reduced-fat mozzarella, shredded: Adds that irresistible gooey, cheesy element. Freshly grated cheese will always melt better than pre-shredded varieties.

Note: This recipe makes enough for 4 servings.

How to Make Grilled Vegetable Wraps with Hummus

Making these wraps is a straightforward process that anyone can master. From prepping the vegetables to the final grilling of the assembled wrap, each step is simple. The result is a professional-looking and tasting meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Step 1: Grill Your Vegetables

First, preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss your sliced zucchini and red onion with olive oil, salt, and Italian seasoning until they are lightly coated. This ensures they won’t stick and are seasoned evenly.

Place the vegetables on the hot grill in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have distinct grill marks. Avoid overcrowding the grill, as this will cause the vegetables to steam rather than sear.

Step 2: Create the Balsamic Glaze

While your veggies are on the grill, you can quickly prepare the flavorful glaze. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Whisk them together until the honey has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Set it aside for now.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay your lavash wraps on a flat surface. Spread about two tablespoons of hummus evenly over each wrap, making sure to leave about a one-inch border around the edges. This border helps prevent the filling from spilling out when you roll the wrap.

Next, arrange a layer of the grilled vegetables over the hummus. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables. Finally, drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the cheese and veggies, adding a burst of sweet and tangy flavor to every bite.

Step 4: Fold and Final Grill

To roll the wrap, fold in the sides first. Then, starting from the edge closest to you, roll it up tightly. This burrito-style fold keeps all the delicious fillings contained. For an extra-crispy exterior and melted cheese, this last step is a must.

Place the rolled wraps seam-side down on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes per side. This will seal the wrap, melt the cheese, and give the lavash a wonderful golden-brown and crispy texture that provides the perfect crunch.

Additional Tips for Making This Recipe Better

After making these wraps several times, I’ve picked up a few tricks to make them even more delicious.

I always make a double batch of the balsamic glaze. It’s perfect for extra drizzling at the end or for using as a salad dressing later.
Don’t be afraid to lightly salt your zucchini slices and let them sit for a few minutes before grilling. This draws out excess water and helps them get a better sear.
I’ve found that warming the lavash wraps in the microwave for about 10 seconds makes them much more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
For an added layer of flavor, I sometimes add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the vegetables along with the Italian seasoning.

Variations to Try

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can easily switch things up based on what you have on hand or your dietary preferences. These variations are great when you’re looking for new dinner recipes to try.

Greek-Inspired: Swap the mozzarella for crumbled feta cheese and add a handful of kalamata olives and fresh dill.
Protein-Packed: Add grilled chicken strips, a scoop of canned chickpeas, or some crispy baked tofu for a more substantial meal.
Spicy Kick: Mix a teaspoon of chipotle powder or harissa paste into your hummus and add a few slices of pickled jalapeño on top of the vegetables.
Low-Carb: Skip the lavash and use large collard green leaves or lettuce cups as your wrap.

Serving Ideas

Presentation can make a simple meal feel special. Here are a few ideas to make your wraps look as good as they taste. For dessert, our Andes Mint Mini Cheesecakes Recipe would be a perfect finish.

For a fun presentation, wrap each half in parchment paper and tie it with kitchen twine.

How to Store the Wraps

Proper storage will keep your wraps fresh and delicious, whether you’re saving leftovers or prepping ahead.

Refrigerating: Assembled wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze assembled wraps, as the vegetables and lavash can become soggy upon thawing.
Reheating: To reheat, place the wraps in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy.

Perfecting Your Vegetable Grilling

The key to these wraps is perfectly grilled vegetables. You want them to be tender with a bit of bite and those signature char marks that add so much smoky flavor. Don’t slice your zucchini or onions too thin, as they can fall apart or burn quickly on the grill.

A medium thickness is ideal. Also, make sure your grill is properly preheated before you add the vegetables.

A hot surface is essential for getting a good sear and preventing them from sticking. Working in batches if necessary will ensure every piece has room to cook evenly.
