Mediterranean Veggie Wrap

Are you tired of eating meat all the time, or are just craving veggies? This is a wonderful and easy wrap to make. It’s light, healthy, tasty, and low carb-if you want it to be 🙂 . You can make it with any veggies you want but I chose veggies that my mother used to cook a lot and converted them to a wrap!

For the wrap you can use any type or flavor of a flat bread or you can just pile the veggies on top of lettuce for a salad. Wondering what you will have for breakfast? You can also use the veggies in scrambled eggs. Whatever your body and taste buds desire. This is a great dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

You will need:

• 1 small eggplant, sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 2 small peppers (your choice of color), sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• Oil for grill pan
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 6-8 burrito sized tortillas or other flat bread
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves, chopped (more if making a salad)
• 1 ripe tomato, chopped
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

1. Add some oil to a grill pan and grill up all your veggies (adding additional oil when needed). The eggplant will soak up the oil so you will need to add more to the pan when grilling those in order to get that nice brown color. Set veggies aside to slightly cool then chop them up in small chunks and add to a mixing bowl.
2. Next, lightly sauté garlic cloves until softened and add them to the veggies along with the chopped olives, parsley, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and give it a good stir or two until combined. Don’t over salt it because the feta and olives will impart some saltiness.
3. To assemble, place your tortilla on a flat surface and layer with lettuce, 3-5 heaping tablespoons of veggie mixture (depending on the size of your bread), chopped tomatoes and feta cheese. fold in one or two sides and then roll the tortilla like a burrito. You can use toothpicks to hold the edges in place and then cut down the middle or eat from whole. Any leftovers just pack up and have ready to make another one the next day!
