With straightforward steps and a bit of prep, you’ll have warm tortillas hugging smoky veggies, creamy hummus, and crumbled feta before you know it—perfect for an easy weeknight meal or an impressive lunch on the go.
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper until each piece is evenly coated.
3. Grill the vegetables for 4–5 minutes per side or until they’re tender and show attractive grill marks, turning gently with tongs to avoid tearing.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined into a zesty herb sauce.
5. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, just long enough to make them pliable and slightly charred at the edges.
6. Spread 25 grams of hummus onto each warmed tortilla, then layer the grilled vegetables evenly down the center and sprinkle 25 grams of crumbled feta cheese over the top.
7. Drizzle the zesty herb sauce generously over the vegetable and cheese layers for bright flavor in every bite.
8. Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

Got questions? Here are the answers to some of the most common queries about this wrap:
You can slice the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion up to one day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you’d like added flavor, toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper and let them marinate for 15 minutes before refrigerating. When you’re ready to assemble, simply grill as instructed.
For a dairy-free alternative, use a plant-based feta or tofu ricotta. Crumble about 25 grams of your chosen substitute per wrap just as you would the feta. The texture and tang will be slightly different but still complement the grilled vegetables and zesty herb sauce.
Yes. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Arrange the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re tender and lightly charred. Warm tortillas in the oven for 1–2 minutes and proceed with assembly.
The zesty herb sauce can be made up to three days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and give it a good stir before drizzling. The flavors will actually meld and intensify as it chills.
Absolutely. A handful of baby spinach, arugula, or even thinly sliced cucumber adds freshness and crunch. You can tuck them in with the grilled veggies before sprinkling the feta and drizzling the herb sauce.
If you’ve already assembled the wraps, reheat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side to crisp up the tortilla. If possible, reheat the grilled vegetables separately in the skillet or oven and assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
Simply multiply each ingredient by the number of servings you need. For example, for eight wraps, use eight tortillas, 200 grams hummus, 200 grams feta, two medium eggplants, two zucchinis, two red bell peppers, and two red onions. You might need to grill in batches or use multiple pans to ensure even charring.
This wrap strikes the perfect balance between smoky, creamy, and tangy, turning simple ingredients into a flavor-packed handheld meal. The charred vegetables bring depth, the hummus adds smoothness, and the zesty herb sauce ties everything together with a refreshing citrus finish.
