1 roasted red pepper (jarred or homemade)
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Black pepper, to taste
For the Wraps:
4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Optional: fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or oregano)
Instructions
Make the Roasted Red Pepper Feta Spread:
Add feta cheese, roasted red pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Prepare the Veggies:
Slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Set aside with the lettuce or spinach and olives.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
Spread a generous layer of the roasted red pepper feta mixture over each tortilla.
Top with the sliced veggies, lettuce, olives, and optional herbs.
Wrap and Serve:
Roll up tightly like a burrito or fold in half like a flatbread sandwich.
Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
Optional:
For a warm version, lightly toast the wraps on a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until the exterior is crisp and the filling slightly warm.
Tips & Variations
Perfecting the Feta Spread
Use block feta (not crumbled) for a smoother, creamier texture.
If your spread is too thick, blend in a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or olive oil at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
For extra flavor, add a roasted garlic clove or a small pinch of chili flakes to the mix.
Veggie Options
You can mix and match vegetables depending on what you have—try roasted zucchini, bell peppers, or artichoke hearts for variety.
Add avocado slices for creaminess or pickled onions for a tangy punch.
Tortilla & Wrap Choices
Whole wheat tortillas give a nutty flavor, while spinach wraps add a subtle earthiness and a pop of color.
For a low-carb option, use collard greens or large lettuce leaves as your wrap base.
Add Protein
If you want to make the wraps more filling, add grilled chicken, turkey, falafel, or chickpeas.
Crumbled hard-boiled egg or tuna can also work for a quick protein boost.
Make It Ahead
The roasted red pepper feta spread can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
If packing wraps for lunch, assemble right before eating to keep them fresh and avoid soggy tortillas.
Serving Ideas
Pair with a small side salad, Greek yogurt dip, or baked pita chips for a complete meal.
Slice into small rolls and secure with toothpicks for an easy party or picnic appetizer.
Flavor Variations
Add a spoonful of hummus or tzatziki inside the wrap for extra Mediterranean flavor.
Sprinkle with sumac or za’atar before rolling for an aromatic, authentic touch.
Replace roasted red pepper with sun-dried tomatoes for a deeper, more savory spread.
Q&A
Q: Can I make the roasted red pepper feta spread ahead of time?
A: Yes. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Just stir before using, as it may thicken slightly when chilled.
Q: Can I use jarred roasted peppers?
A: Absolutely. Jarred roasted red peppers are convenient and work perfectly here. Just drain them well before blending to avoid a watery spread.
Q: What’s the best way to keep the wraps from getting soggy?
A: Spread the feta mixture first, then layer your veggies with lettuce or spinach at the bottom. The greens help act as a barrier and keep the tortilla dry.
Q: Can I make these wraps vegan?
A: Yes. Use vegan feta and add a spoonful of hummus or cashew cream instead of traditional cheese.
Q: Are these wraps good for meal prep?
A: Definitely. You can prep the veggies and feta spread ahead, then assemble the wraps just before eating or the morning of. They hold up well for packed lunches.
