How to Make a Mediterranean Veggie Wrap

Start by laying your Mission Carb Smart tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the tortilla, ensuring you reach the edges to help keep everything in place.

Next, layer on fresh Romaine lettuce to provide a crisp base.

Add the thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and pickled red onions, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.

Scatter the artichoke hearts for that distinct Mediterranean touch. Finish with a sprinkle of reduced-fat feta cheese, which adds a tangy richness without piling on extra calories. Top it with a pinch of oregano.

Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward to encase the fillings, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring a snug wrap that holds together well.

For added convenience, you can slice the wrap in half for easier handling, especially if you’re planning to enjoy it on the go.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Mediterranean veggie wrap meal, consider pairing it with complementary side dishes.

A small Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and a light vinaigrette can enhance the Mediterranean flavors.

For a refreshing contrast, serve a side of fresh fruit like watermelon, grapes, or berries, which adds natural sweetness and balance.

If you’re aiming for a more filling meal, add a light vegetable or lentil soup. The warm, savory notes of the soup can perfectly complement the crisp, fresh ingredients in your wrap.

Alternatively, roasted veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant seasoned with a touch of olive oil and herbs can make for a hearty, nutritious side.

For a crunchier option, consider baked pita chips with a side of tzatziki or additional hummus for dipping. This adds a satisfying crunch and extra layers of flavor.

If you prefer a grain-based side, a small serving of quinoa or bulgur salad with chopped herbs, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil can be a nutritious addition that stays within your Weight Watchers points.

For those who enjoy dairy, a small portion of Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds can provide a creamy, protein-rich side that pairs well with the wrap.

Storing Suggestions and Meal Prep

Storing your Mediterranean veggie wraps properly is essential for maintaining their freshness and flavor.

When meal prepping, consider keeping the ingredients separate until you’re ready to assemble the wraps. This helps prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Store the sliced cucumbers, pickled red onions, chickpeas, and artichoke hearts in individual airtight containers.

Keep your washed and dried Romaine lettuce in a separate container lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.

If you’ve pre-assembled the wraps, make sure to wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to keep the wrap intact and preserves its freshness.

Place the wrapped veggie wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to prevent them from drying out. Stored this way, your wraps should remain fresh in the fridge for up to two days.

For added convenience, you can pre-portion your hummus into small containers, making it easy to spread when you’re ready to eat. This not only saves time but also ensures you stick to your desired serving size.

If you prefer to prepare several wraps in advance, consider adding the more delicate ingredients, like the Romaine lettuce and reduced-fat feta cheese, just before eating.

This way, you maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the creaminess of the cheese, enhancing your overall dining experience.

To ensure a quick and easy assembly, keep your tortillas stored in a cool, dry place. If you’re using store-bought hummus, make sure it’s tightly sealed and refrigerated. This approach ensures you always have the freshest, most flavorful components ready for a delicious Mediterranean veggie wrap.
