Greek Hummus Wrap

So you’re craving something tasty but too lazy to spend forever in the kitchen, huh? Same. This Greek Hummus Wrap gives you all the bright flavors of a Mediterranean platter—hummus, feta, olives, cucumbers—without needing a fork, a table, or complicated knife skills. It’s crunchy, creamy, a little tangy, and very easy to pretend you made from scratch (I won’t tell).

Why This Recipe Is Awesome

It’s basically a party in a tortilla that fits in your hand. You get hummus for creaminess, crisp veggies for texture, and feta + olives for that salty punch that makes your brain do a tiny happy dance.

No special equipment, no chef-level technique, and it scales from “lunch for one” to “feed a hungry group while pretending you’re fancy.” Zero fuss, maximum flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 large flour tortillas or whole-wheat wraps (or pitas if you’re feeling pita-y)
• 1 cup hummus (store-bought is fine; roasted red pepper or plain both work)
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained (optional — extra protein if you want)
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced or sliced
• 1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced (rinse if you want milder bite)
• 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta (or vegan feta for dairy-free)
• Handful baby spinach or mixed greens
• 1 lemon (juice), 2 tbsp olive oil, pinch of dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: tzatziki, roasted red peppers, or grilled chicken/falafel

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep your veggies. Wash and slice the cucumber, dice the tomato, thinly slice the red onion, and crumble the feta. Toss the tomato with a pinch of salt so it doesn’t soak your wrap like a tiny sphincter of sadness.
2. Make a quick lemon-oregano drizzle. Whisk together juice of half a lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
3. Warm the tortillas. Heat a dry skillet over medium for 20–30 seconds per side or microwave for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp towel. Warm wraps roll and fold much nicer.
4. Spread hummus generously. Lay a tortilla flat and slather about 1/4 cup hummus in the center, leaving room at the edges for folding. Don’t be shy—hummus is the glue that keeps this thing together.
5. Layer the good stuff. Add spinach, cucumber, tomato, red onion, olives, and chickpeas (if using). Sprinkle feta overtop and drizzle the lemon-oregano mix for brightness.
6. Season and taste. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon if it needs lifting. A little extra olive oil never goes wrong.
7. Fold like a pro. Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. If using pita, fold in half after stuffing.
8. Optional crisping. Place seam-side down on a heated skillet or panini press for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp. This seals the wrap and gives a nice texture contrast.
9. Slice and serve. Cut on the diagonal, serve immediately, and watch everyone fight for the last bite.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overstuffing the wrap — this makes rolling a tragic soap-opera moment. Less is more.
• Using watery tomatoes without draining — soggy wraps are a mood killer. Pat them dry.
• Skipping the warm-up — cold tortillas crack and crumble. Warm them briefly.
• Not seasoning — hummus is creamy but needs a touch of brightness; don’t skip the lemon or salt.
• Letting acidic dressings sit on the wrap for too long — assemble right before eating if possible.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Gluten-free wrap? Use a GF tortilla or large lettuce leaf (romaine works). Dairy-free? Swap the feta for a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or vegan feta — still delicious. Want more protein? Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or falafel. Craving different flavors? Try beet or garlic hummus, or toss in roasted eggplant for a smoky twist. IMO, the easiest upgrade is tzatziki instead of lemon — cool, creamy, and fancy-feeling.

Quick tip: If you’re packing this for lunch, keep wet ingredients (tomato, dressing) separate and assemble right before eating to avoid sogginess.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions (H2)

Can I use store-bought hummus or should I make it from scratch?

Totally fine to grab hummus from the store — no one’s judging. That said, homemade hummus brightens the wrap and lets you dial the garlic and lemon to your taste. FYI: a splash of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon right before serving makes store-bought hummus sing.

Is this wrap suitable for gluten-free diets?

Yes! Swap regular flatbread for a gluten-free wrap or a large lettuce leaf. For extra sturdiness, use collard greens or rice paper. Not rocket science, just slightly more virtuous.

How far ahead can I assemble these without them getting soggy?

Assemble up to 2 hours ahead if you pack smart: spread hummus, then layer veggies that release less water first. Wrap tightly and store upright. If you need more time, pack components separately and build on arrival.

What are the best veggies and add-ins for maximum yum?

Go bold: crunchy cucumbers, shaved carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a handful of kalamata olives. For creamy tang, add crumbled feta. Quick list:

• Crunchy: cucumber, bell pepper, carrot
• Briny: olives, capers
• Fresh: parsley, mint, baby spinach

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart while eating?

Fold one end over, then roll tight. Toast the wrap briefly in a dry pan to seal and add grip. Cut on the bias and keep napkins handy — glorious, messy food is the best kind.

Can I add protein?

Absolutely. Falafel, grilled chicken, or canned tuna work great. For a vegan boost, roast some chickpeas with cumin and paprika — crispy chickpeas = instant crowd-pleaser.
