Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss 1 medium zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch strips, 1 large red bell pepper sliced into 1/2-inch strips, and 1 small eggplant sliced into 1/4-inch rounds with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and tender, then transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Warm 2 large flour tortillas for 20 seconds each in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. Step 4: Spread 1/4 cup hummus evenly over each tortilla, then layer 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves and the grilled vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp za’atar seasoning evenly over the vegetables, then roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Slice in half and serve.
