Why Zucchini Wraps?

Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that not only adds a delightful texture to dishes but is also low in calories and high in essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C. This recipe was born out of my love for simple yet flavorful meals that can be prepared with minimal fuss. Here’s a tip: always choose firm and shiny zucchinis for the best texture in your wraps!

Ingredients

• 2 large zucchinis, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup hummus
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 whole wheat tortillas

Instructions

1. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, slice the zucchinis into thin strips. Chef’s tip: Lightly salt the zucchini strips and let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel before using.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until they are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
4. Spread a layer of hummus on each tortilla, then evenly distribute the vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
5. Roll up the tortillas tightly to form wraps. If desired, you can lightly grill the wraps on a skillet to add a bit of crunch and warmth.
