Yummy Hummy Stuffed Pita Wrap

Ingredients

  • 4 large whole wheat pita bread rounds

  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

  • 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced

  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1 head of fresh iceberg lettuce

  • 1 medium cucumber

  • Olive oil

  • Balsamic vinegar

  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or mint) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the Pita Bread: Place the pita bread rounds on the stovetop or in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes or microwave them for about 15 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to work with. This step will prevent the pita from cracking while assembling the wrap.

  2. Spread the Hummus: Take one pita round and spread a generous amount of hummus on one side. Ensure an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges for easy rolling.

  3. Layer the Fillings: Arrange a few tomato slices on top of the hummus, followed by a layer of iceberg lettuce, sprinkling of sliced black olives, yellow onion, diced cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese on top. For an added kick, you can also grind some black pepper over the fillings. Finish it off with a drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top.

  4. Roll it Up: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the pita into a wrap, tucking in the fillings as you go. The hummus will act as a "glue" to hold everything together. Repeat this process with the remaining pita rounds and fillings.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once all the wraps are prepared, you can either enjoy them immediately or cut them in half for a more manageable size. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or mint, which will add a burst of freshness to the overall flavor profile. Serve these delicious Yummy Hummy Pita Wraps as a satisfying lunch or dinner option.

  • If you're not a fan of feta cheese, you can substitute it with a milder cheese like mozzarella or omit it altogether.
