Greek Salad Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Greek salad wraps are a fresh and flavorful way to enjoy classic Mediterranean ingredients in a convenient handheld meal. Combining juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, creamy feta, and tangy houmous, these wraps make a perfect light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

• 1 large vine-ripened tomato
• 50 cm piece of cucumber
• 6 kalamata olives (optional)
• 2 very large soft tortilla wraps
• 50 g feta cheese
• 2 heaped tablespoons houmous

Instructions

1. Step 1: Roughly chop the tomato, cut the cucumber into sticks, and if using, split and stone the kalamata olives.
2. Step 2: Heat the tortillas. For gas stoves, hold each tortilla over a lit gas ring for about 10 seconds, then quickly turn and heat the other side for 8 seconds until slightly charred. If you don’t have gas, warm a pan over medium heat and briefly warm each tortilla one at a time without oil.
3. Step 3: Lay each warm tortilla flat and create a row down the center with tomato, cucumber, feta, and olives.
4. Step 4: Spread the houmous around the top and sides of each tortilla to help seal in the filling.
5. Step 5: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly into a wrap. Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Replace kalamata olives with green olives or omit them for a milder taste.
• Add some fresh mint or oregano leaves inside the wrap for an herbal twist.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition and color.
• For extra protein, add grilled chicken or chickpeas to the filling.

Storage

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To prevent sogginess, keep the houmous separate and assemble the wraps just before eating. Reheat briefly in a warm pan if desired, but avoid microwaving to keep the wraps from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

For the best texture, it’s recommended to prepare the ingredients in advance but assemble the wraps right before eating. This helps avoid soggy tortillas.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute feta with goat cheese or a crumbly ricotta for a different creamy flavor that still complements the fresh vegetables well.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Roughly chop the vine ripened tomato into bite-sized pieces. Cut the cucumber into long sticks for easy layering in the wrap. If using, split and stone the kalamata olives.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas to enhance flavor and pliability. For those with gas stoves, carefully hold each tortilla over a lit gas ring for approximately 10 seconds on one side, then quickly flip with tongs and heat the other side for about 8 seconds until slightly charred. If you don’t have gas, warm a pan to medium heat and briefly toast each tortilla one at a time without any oil until warm and soft.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed tortilla flat and arrange a row of chopped tomato, cucumber sticks, crumbled feta cheese, and olives (if using) down the center of each. Then spread houmous evenly around the top and sides of the tortilla to add creaminess and seal the wrap.
4. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to enclose the filling, then roll tightly into a large cigar shape. Cut each wrap in half to serve and enjoy immediately as a handheld meal.

Notes

• Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and crisp cucumber for the best texture and flavor.
• Heating the tortillas over direct flame adds a wonderful smoky flavor but requires caution to avoid burning.
• Kalamata olives are optional but add an authentic Greek flavor.
• Wraps are best served fresh but can be prepared ahead and chilled briefly.
• For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce inside the wrap.
