Veggie Wrap with Spinach Artichoke Cream Cheese

This post contains affiliate links.

If you are desperately trying to use up all of the zucchini and tomatoes that you harvested this year, have I got a sandwich for you! It’s a simple wrap that goes together quickly, providing you prepare your spinach artichoke cream cheese the day before. The wonderfully tasty cream cheese mixture (inspired by the iconic dip), lasts in the fridge for up to one week, and the flavor enhances if it’s left overnight before using. One wrap sandwich provides 2 to 3 servings of vegetables (depending upon how thickly you layer them), and is a delicious way to get your nutrition for the day. Make a number of them, wrap them tightly in cling film, and keep them at the ready in the fridge.

Veggie Wrap with Spinach Artichoke Cream Cheese

2
spinach herb tortillas
1 tomato
1 zucchini

½ red onion, thinly sliced*

½ c. Melissa’s red bell peppers, sliced into strips

2 leaves Romaine lettuce

1/2 c. grated mozzarella

Spinach Artichoke Cream Cheese (recipe below)

 Thinly slice tomato, sprinkle lightly with salt, and allow to drain on a paper towel-lined plate while you prepare the zucchini. Slice zucchini, lengthwise, into 1/8” - 1/4” strips. Sauté in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, or on the grill, until both sides are nicely seared.

On one side of the tortilla, spread an ample portion of Spinach Artichoke Cream Cheese within a half-inch of the edge. Layer zucchini, tomato, onion, pepper, cheese, and lettuce. Salt and pepper to taste, and roll up burrito style. Slice in half on a diagonal and serve. May be made ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and stored in the fridge. Makes 2.

*I used a mandoline.

This looks delicious and just my kind of meal. The dip would really put it over the top for me. I became fond of veggie sandwiches back in the early 1980s and have loved them ever since. I keep forgetting to get tortillas at the store - they make the best!
