Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 4 lavash wraps, or 2 lavash wraps split in half (perforated edges)

• 1/2 cup hummus

• 2 medium-sized zucchini

• 1 large red onion

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

• 2 oz reduced fat mozzarella

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Italian seasoning, and salt to create the marinade.

2. Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice it lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.

3. Peel the red onion and slice it into four thick rounds.

4. Toss the zucchini in the marinade and gently coat the onion rounds, being careful not to break them apart.

5. Grill the vegetables over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until tender and grill marks appear. Save any remaining marinade.

6. Once the vegetables are grilled, toss them in the reserved marinade.

7. To assemble the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on each lavash. Sprinkle with 1/2 ounce of mozzarella. Top with the grilled vegetables.

8. Roll up the wrap, placing it seam side down in a preheated, sprayed frying pan (or the same grill pan used earlier).

9. Toast the wrap for about 2 minutes per side over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.

Note: For meal prep, you can portion out the ingredients in advance but assemble the wraps just before eating to avoid sogginess. You can also freeze these wraps individually by wrapping them in foil. To defrost, microwave for 1-2 minutes, then crisp in an air fryer or toaster oven.
