You can serve it on its own, or pair it with grains, vegetables, or salads for a more filling dinner. Either way, you'll appreciate the ease and also great flavor that this dish offers. Let's talk about the ingredients in a little more detail.
What you'll need
- Zucchini. You can grill them on a non-stick griddle, indoor or outdoor grill. You can even fry them on a non-stick skillet without any oil.
- Tortilla. Use your favorite brand.
- Hummus. Use your favorite kind.
- Greens. Spinach, arugula, kale, or mixed greens work really well here.
- Tomatoes. I like using cherry tomatoes because they tend to be more flavorful.
- Seasoning. Add a sprinkle of salt, or even some of your favorite sauce.
How to make Grilled Zucchini Wrap
1. Grill the zucchini for a few minutes on each side, until nice brown char marks appear. Set aside.
2. Place the tortilla on a working surface and spread a generous amount (about 3-4 tablespoons) of hummus in the center.
3. Place a layer of grilled zucchini right over the hummus. Top it with some greens, tomatoes, and season with salt. (You can add additional veggies of choice).
4. Wrap the tortilla like a burrito and toast it on both sides in a pan or on the grill. Slice in in half and enjoy.
Tips for the best Grilled Zucchini Wrap
- Don't cut the zucchini too thick. Because these are going to be added to a wrap, only cut the zucchini to about ¼ inch thick. This will make them easier to fold in, and also quicker to cook.
- Use a warm, pliable tortilla. If you are worried your tortilla will tear as you assemble your wrap, then warm it in the microwave for a few seconds before adding the fillings. This will help it roll and fold without ripping.
- Don't overload the Grilled Zucchini Wrap with filling. Another way to tear your wrap is by adding too much filling. Keep the hummus to about 3-4 tablespoons and don't add too many veggies. This will make it easier to close, with less pulling that could rip it.
- Grill the tortilla. Once you've assembled your wrap, grill it on both sides. This will add flavor and texture, make it softer so it doesn't rip as you eat, and also warm the interior ingredients for a delicious meal.
Add-ins and Substitutes
- Add other vegetables. You can also make this with other tasty vegetables, such as cucumbers, carrots, summer squash, avocados, bell peppers, broccoli, jalapenos, and sprouts.
- Substitute a flavored hummus. While plain hummus works great, spice up your wrap with some hummus flavored with garlic, pepper, lemon dill, and sun dried tomato.
- Add sauces. Drizzle this wrap with Balsamic Dressing, Vegan Caesar Dressing, Chermoula Sauce, Vegan Tzatziki Sauce, or Roasted Pepper Sauce.
- Make it gluten-free. While corn tortillas are a simple gluten-free option for this Grilled Zucchini Wrap, you would be better off using a gluten-free tortilla made with rice flour. It will be more pliable and easier to roll up without tearing.
How to Store
Store this Grilled Zucchini Wrap in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 1 day. Over time, these can get soggy, so you would be better off preparing the grilled zucchini and other vegetables, then assembling the wrap when you're ready to eat it.
What to Serve with it
- Proteins. This is delicious with a side of Simple Mashed Beans, Red Lentil Curry, Quick Maple Sriracha Tofu, Chickpea Cucumber Salad, or Quick & Easy Chipotle Pinto Beans.
- Grains. Pair these Grilled Zucchini Wraps with some rice, quinoa, or bulgur, among others. Try this Spinach Rice, Mexican Quinoa Salad, Quick and Tasty Bulgur Salad, and Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad with them.
- Vegetables. For a lighter side dish, try these wraps with Simple Vegetable Skewers, Sautéed Vegetables, Vegan Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, or Roasted Curried Cauliflower.
- Salad. Easy Three Bean Salad, Creamy Cucumber Radish Salad, Tomato and Onion Salad, and Cucumber Pasta Salad are great additions to this wrap.
This Grilled Zucchini Wrap is truly delicious and I think you're going to love it. Serve it with your favorite sides and make this your summer go-to!
