Fire-roasted veggie wraps really let everything sing. Each bite packs those deep, toasty flavors from seasonal produce, all tucked in a cozy tortilla. They’re crazy flexible, sliding easily from a laid-back lunch with friends to a showy dinner—plus, you can mix it up depending on what’s in season or what you’ve got hanging around.
I first whipped these up during a summer when zucchini from the garden just wouldn’t stop popping up. Tired of the usual tricks, I tried grilling. That’s all it took—now I’ve got these in my rotation, and even the folks who love meat dig them.
Brilliant Ingredients
- Lettuce: Adds crunch and keeps things from getting soggy.
- Feta cheese: Brings a salty, creamy tang and bumps up the protein a bit.
- Black olives: Toss in a savory punch that works with sweet veggies.
- Hummus: A smooth base that ties everything together and gives some protein.
- Red onions: Start out strong but mellow and sweeten once grilled.
- Red bell peppers: Sweet flavor gets deeper and richer with char.
- Zucchini: Picks up all that smokiness while still holding together perfectly.
Cooking Walkthrough
- Assembly Steps:
- Warm up tortillas on the grill so they’re nice and bendy. Spread hummus all over each one, then pile the grilled veggies down the middle. Top with some olives, bits of feta, and crunchy lettuce so each bite tastes different.
- Grilling Know-How:
- Get your grill or grill pan hot enough that water droplets dance and disappear. Brush veggies with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper for good measure. Place veggies so nothing touches—give ‘em space to get those grill lines just right.
- Veggie Prep:
- Pick produce that’s firm and colorful, then wash and dry. Slice zucchini into long thin planks. Clean out the peppers and cut them into fat strips. Cut onion into thick rings.

Zucchini keeps winning my heart, especially after years making these. Growing up near my grandpa’s huge garden, I learned that decent cooking turns this ordinary squash into something awesome. Those backyard lessons still stick with me every time I grill.
Tasty Sides
Try these grilled wraps with a super chill cucumber yogurt dip—that coolness knocks back the smoky flavors just right. Add a basic quinoa salad loaded with tomatoes and fresh herbs for extra bite and protein. Finish the meal with cold watermelon sprinkled with mint for a sweet, crisp palate-cleanser.
Fun Twists
Want it earthier? Add portobello mushrooms or asparagus when they’re in season. Swap hummus for tzatziki and get a Greek vibe. Grilled peaches or nectarines bring a sweet surprise in summer. Throw in some fresh mint or basil before you roll them up for a pop of herby flavor.
Leftover Tips
If you’re saving leftovers, keep everything separate. Stash the grilled veggies in airtight containers in the fridge—they’ll last about four days. Warm them up a bit before putting together a fresh wrap. Always assemble at the last minute, so the lettuce stays crisp.
