Types of Tortilla Wraps
Can you guess how many different type of tortilla wraps there are? Back in the day, there was just 2 basic categories.
- Corn based tortillas
- Flour based tortillas
Now, we have everything under the sun to choose from. That is a very good thing as depending on what dietary need you have - there’s a wrap for that!
- Gluten-free wraps can be made with almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour and more.
- Vegan wraps and most are. Be sure to read the fine print as some can be made with lard.
- Low carb wraps or keto wraps – Are you are on a very strict low carb or diabetic diet? You can use lettuce or even an egg wrap, but these cannot be grilled.
- Spinach wraps
- Beet root wraps
And the list goes on. The calories in this veggie wrap are calculated using a low carb wrap and all the delicious additions and toppings.
The tortilla wraps serve as a transfer device to get all those delicious toppings into your mouth. We’ve had the best luck using flour (also gluten-free) wraps as they are less likely to tear. Corn based tortilla wraps can be used but they don’t roll as easily and have a higher tendency to crack during the roll up process.
How to Make
This is a general overview of how to make a Mediterranean Veggie Wrap. Please see the recipe card below for the detailed recipe.
- Slice your favorite vegetables and mushrooms. Prepare the marinade with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the softer mushrooms and vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, onion slices and peppers for about 15 minutes. If you decide to cooker harder vegetables like cauliflower, they can be marinated overnight and take much longer to grill.
- Prepare and place other antipasto items like your sliced olives, artichokes, hummus, mild pepperoncini’s, fresh spinach, etc. in little bowls to serve. These can be covered and refrigerated overnight if desired.
- Grill marinated vegetables.
- Warm up tortillas so they are easier to roll up.
- Place your grilled vegetables and prepared antipasto Mediterranean toppings out buffet style.
- Allow everyone to fill their wrap with a dollop of hummus, grilled veggies, and toppings of choice. Use a little beaten egg to seal the edges and roll up like a burrito. Watch our video below to see how it is done.
- Brush the rolled wrap with a little olive oil on all sides and grill until toasty.
- Enjoy!
Equipment
When the weather is nice, enjoy grilling your vegetarian tortilla wraps on either your outdoor barbeque or gas grill.
If Mother Nature is not cooperating, bring the party indoors. Plan B is to roast the veggies in the oven or air fryer. You can use either a grill pan, regular pan, or your air fryer to heat and crisp up the stuffed sandwich wraps.
Recipe Hacks
- If you do not have a veggie grilling rack, slice your veggies thin but longer so they do not fall through the grates.
- Use burrito or large size tortilla wraps. The smaller ones are just way too small to roll up.
- Heat up your tortilla wraps in the microwave for just a few seconds. Warm tortilla wraps are easier to roll up. Keep your wraps covered so that they stay pliable.
- Slather on a thin layer of hummus or baba ghanoush before adding vegetables. This helps the vegetables stay in place while you are rolling the wrap up.
- Don’t overfill the wrap. I know it is so hard to not do that as you want everything, right? However, trust us. It is not a good idea. You will either have a difficult time rolling the tortilla into a burrito shape or you are going to tear your wrap. Been there - Done that!
- Don’t be using toothpicks to keep your wrap sandwich rolled. Instead use a little beaten egg or cornstarch paste to seal the edges.
- Keep your meal budget friendly using in season produce or vegetables from your garden.
- Make EXTRA! One growing boy ate FOUR Mediterranean Veggie Wraps! Yes 4!
Vegan Wrap Ideas
It is easy to keep the grilled tortilla wraps vegan. Try these quick and easy recipe hacks.
- Substitute egg wash with a cornstarch and water paste to seal the tortilla wrap. Place 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in with 1 tablespoons of water and stir. Use the cornstarch and water paste to seal the tortillas closed so they can be grilled.
- Read the label on the wraps package to make sure they do not include lard.
- Guests will assemble their own wrap so they can pick and choose what they desire. Even if the rest of your guests like to eat meat and cheese, these additions are optional.
Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Premade vegetable hummus wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (if making homemade hummus with raw garlic). If you are using store bought hummus, wraps can be stored for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Please make sure your wraps are cool before storing them covered in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can keep all the ingredients refrigerated separately in containers. Then, when you are ready for a quick meal just assemble and heat.

Instructions
Recipe Tips Before you Start!
- 1) You can pick and choose the vegetables you want to grill. You can choose to include all or some of them listed. You can also choose other vegetables not listed but just remember that they may take either longer or a shorter time to cook on the grill. Don't choose tomatoes or they will make your wraps soggy. 2) Antipasto toppings are just ideas. Pick and choose your favorites. However, hummus in our opinion makes these wraps super delicious.
Marinade Vegetables
- Choose your favorite grilling vegetables. We choose sliced zucchini, bell pepper, onion, eggplant slices, summer squash slices and sliced mini portabella mushrooms and placed them in gallon sized plastic baggies. You may need 2 baggies to hold all of the vegetables. In a bowl add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning blend and salt and pepper. Mix well. Pour the balsamic vegetable marinade over the vegetables. Seal and shake to distribute marinade to all the vegetables. Allow vegetables to marinade for 10 to 15 minutes.Preheat your grill to a medium heat!
Prepare your Toppings
- In the meantime, gather and prepare all your supplies and place them in little bowls or dishes for the party so that your guests can make their own wrap sandwiches. We set out tortilla wraps, roasted red pepper hummus, sliced olives, quartered artichoke hearts, spinach, pepperoncini, feta cheese and an egg wash for sealing the wraps and olive oil for brushing the wrap before grilling. (These are just suggestions so add anything your little heart desires)
- Grill your marinated vegetables until fork tender (2 to 3 minutes per side) and have nice grill marks. Set you grilled vegetables out with your other topping to make your grilled Mediterranean Veggie Wraps.
Assemble your Wraps
- Microwave, for 30 seconds, your tortillas so they are warm and easier to fold. Keep them covered so they stay warm. Set your tortilla wrapper on plate or a clean counter and add your hummus, grilled vegetables and any toppings that your little heart desires. However, just be careful that you do not make it too full as then it becomes difficult to wrap up.Brush the outer ring around the tortilla with egg wash (or cornstarch paste) to help seal the edges. Fold up your wrap like a burrito. Start at one end. Fold up end over fillings. Fold in the sides to the center and then roll all the way up. You may need to add more egg wash at the end just to help the ends seal. Brush your wrap on all sides with a little olive oil.
- Grill the wrap for about 2 minutes on each side just until the cheese melts and you have nice grill marks on both sides.
- Enjoy while warm-hot off the grill.

Well, I love to fill tortillas in many different ways, but this surely will be fun once we say good-bye to the presently incoming cold weather and ofttime wetness from the skies! A great Sunday brunch activity with friends whilst 'exchanging news' 🙂 !!! Your instructions will be waiting in the kitchen and suitable ingredients methinks are always on the ready iin this house!
HWC Magazine says
Thank you Eha. Veggie wraps are a great way to use up those veggies from the garden. It will be summer before you know it in Australia.
Mimi Rippee says
Well these are fabulous! Perfect for summer. And delicious.
HWC Magazine says
Thank you Mimi! Before you know it we will be having vegetable overload when the garden is ready and the farmers markets are open.
Lynn Fenby says
This is absolutely delicious! Our daughter and her family came home to visit...they are vegans. I was worried about what to make....this is such a great recipe, that I will make this indefinitely. They loved this recipe, and so did I!
HWC Magazine says
We know how difficult that can be accommodating everyone and their dietary needs. However, it seems that both vegans and carnivores are enjoying these Mediterranean veggie wraps. On of our carnivores ate 2 wraps in one sitting. After all...what are you going to do with all that zucchini! (smiling)
