Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the grilled zucchini.
  • Swap the plain yogurt for Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier sauce.
  • Add fresh spinach or arugula inside the wrap for extra greens and crunch.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps wrapped in foil or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a pan or microwave, but the wraps are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness and texture. Keep the herbed yogurt sauce separate if storing longer.

How to Serve

A soft, grilled flatbread wrap with light brown grill marks, folded and tied with a thin piece of string topped with a small green herb sprig, rests on a white plate with scattered fresh green parsley around it. Inside the wrap are layers of yellow chickpeas, bright green spinach leaves, slices of dark green and light green grilled zucchini, and bright red cherry tomato halves. A dollop of white sauce with green herbs sits beside the wrap, garnished with a parsley leaf. In the background, there is another similar wrap on a white plate and a small white ramekin containing chopped red tomato and yellow bell pepper on a white marbled surface.

FAQs

Can I make this wrap vegan?

Yes, substitute the feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use a dairy-free yogurt to make the herbed yogurt sauce vegan-friendly.

Can I prepare the ingredients ahead of time?

You can grill the zucchini and prepare the herbed yogurt sauce a few hours ahead and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh.

  • 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
  • 1 medium zucchini (200 g / 7 oz), sliced lengthwise
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (160 g / 5.6 oz)
  • 100 g / 3.5 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Herbed Yogurt Sauce

  • ½ cup plain yogurt (120 g / 4.2 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, mint, or dill), chopped (8 g / 0.3 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat to ensure it is hot enough for cooking the zucchini evenly and creating nice char marks.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Brush the zucchini slices lightly with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper. This adds flavor and prevents sticking to the grill.
  3. Grill Zucchini: Place the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they become tender and develop attractive char marks. Remove the zucchini and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Make Herbed Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine plain yogurt, chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth and flavorful sauce.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas or flatbreads briefly in a dry pan or microwave until they are pliable and easy to fold without cracking.
  6. Assemble Wraps: Lay out each tortilla and layer with grilled zucchini slices, cooked chickpeas, and crumbled feta cheese evenly across the center of each wrap.
  7. Add Sauce and Fold: Drizzle a generous amount of the herbed yogurt sauce over the layered ingredients. Fold the wraps tightly, slice if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
