Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortilla wraps (8-inch)
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
- 1 small red onion, sliced into thin wedges
- 1 cup cooked white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed if canned
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- For the tahini-lemon sauce:
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 to 4 tablespoons warm water (to thin sauce)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, toss sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tahini-lemon sauce by whisking tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas for 20-30 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble each wrap, lay a tortilla flat, spread about 2 tablespoons of tahini-lemon sauce in the center, then layer with 1/2 cup roasted vegetables, 1/4 cup white beans, and a handful of fresh spinach leaves.
- Drizzle another teaspoon of tahini sauce over the filling. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll firmly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve warm or at room temperature. For meal prep, wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate up to 2 days.
Chef tips
- If you prefer a vegan protein boost, substitute white beans with cooked chickpeas or lentils.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the vegetable mix before roasting.
- Store leftover tahini sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days and stir before use as it may thicken.
Pros
- High in fiber and plant-based protein from white beans and vegetables.
- Quick and easy to prepare, suitable for meal prep.
- Gluten-free options available by swapping tortillas.
Cons / watch-outs
- Tahini sauce contains sesame, which is a common allergen.
- The wrap may become soggy if stored assembled too long—best to keep components separate until ready to eat.
