Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 2 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cucumber, grated
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Next, prepare your vegetables. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and shred the carrot using a grater or a food processor. Make sure all vegetables are ready before assembling the wraps.
- Take the large tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface or plate. You can warm them slightly in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side if you prefer a softer wrap.
- Spread a generous amount of the prepared tzatziki sauce onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for easy rolling.
- Evenly distribute the sliced bell pepper and shredded carrot over the tzatziki sauce on each tortilla. You can also add any additional vegetables you like, such as spinach or avocado, for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Once the vegetables are arranged, carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring that the filling is secure inside.
- Repeat the process for the second tortilla, using the remaining tzatziki sauce and vegetables.
- After both wraps are assembled, you can cut them in half diagonally for easier eating, or leave them whole. Serve immediately with any extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Tzatziki Success: For the most flavorful tzatziki, let the sauce sit for 10-15 minutes before assembling your wrap. This allows the garlic and dill to fully infuse their flavors.
- Vegetable Prep: Make sure to drain excess moisture from the grated cucumber and shredded carrots to prevent your wrap from becoming soggy.
- Tortilla Trick: Slightly warming the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add additional vegetables or proteins like grilled chicken or feta cheese to make the wrap your own.
- Wrap Rolling Technique: When rolling, fold in the sides first to prevent filling from falling out, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the tzatziki sauce and chop vegetables in advance for a quick, easy lunch option during busy days.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping, or pair with a light Greek salad for a complete meal.
