Common Recipe Questions
- → Can these wraps be made ahead?
Yes, grill the vegetables up to 2 days ahead and store in the refrigerator. Warm before assembling. For best results, assemble wraps just before serving to prevent tortillas from becoming soggy.
- → What vegetables work best for grilling?
Zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, and red onion are ideal—they hold shape well and develop sweet, smoky flavors when grilled. Avoid watery vegetables like tomatoes in the grill phase; add fresh later.
- → How do I prevent tortillas from tearing?
Warm tortillas briefly before assembling to increase pliability. Don't overfill, and roll tightly but gently. Tucking in the sides as you roll helps keep everything secure.
- → Can I use a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill?
Absolutely. A grill pan over medium-high heat works beautifully. You'll still get nice char marks and smoky flavor. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- → What toppings complement these wraps?
Try tzatziki, extra lemon juice, or a sprinkle of fresh mint. Kalamata olives, pickled red onions, or diced cucumber add crunch. A drizzle of olive oil ties everything together.
- → Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
Not ideal for freezing. The vegetables lose texture and tortillas become soggy when thawed. Best enjoyed fresh or stored assembled in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
