Although I thoroughly enjoy spending time playing around in the kitchen, there are certainly plenty of days when I just want to quickly make a nutritious and yummy meal — get in the kitchen, and get out of there! This kind of instance happened a few days ago. In deciding what to whip up, I first started off with my favorite wraps: La Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious Tortillas. I’ve been buying them for awhile now, but I just noticed a “Made Local” sticker on them for the first time. Sweet!
I had a bunch of fresh veggies and crumbled feta cheese on hand, so I had the idea to make Mediterranean-style wraps. This meal took 15 minutes tops to put together, and will now probably be on my list of go-to easy, healthy dinner ideas in a jiffy.
I smartly cut the wraps in half after snapping these photos, but you get the idea. 😉
Mediterranean Wraps
Ingredients
- 2 cups green beans
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 vine ripe tomatoes
- 4 oz crumbled feta cheese with Mediterranean herbs
- 4 handfuls of arugula
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
- 2 TBSP horseradish mustard
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- [Mixed up] salt & pepper
Instructions
- Trim and chop green beans and bell pepper. Place in a steamer basket, and boil in a medium pot containing a small amount of water. Let cook until tender, 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and artichoke hearts into small pieces.
- Evenly distribute artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and feta cheese onto the 4 tortillas.
- Once green beans pepper are done cooking, add some of those veggies to each wrap.
- Top with a handful of arugula and spread 1/2 TBSP of mustard onto each wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, roll up and enjoy!
Question: What are some of your go-to fresh & easy meal ideas?
Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salads and pasta with broccoli are always on my meal idea back burner. Lately I’ve also been using these wraps to make veggie quesadillas.

Oh that wrap looks so good! Pasta is a go to for me for dinner because it’s quick and easy. I also love making healthy Mexican food. I’m terrible at lunch ideas though!

Mexican food = yum. I LOVE whipping up easy guacamole!
Paula says
Whenever I’m starving, the first thing I think to make is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Might be lacking the fresh quality with no whole vegetables or fruits, but it sure is easy!

Nothing wrong with a good PB&J! I’m a PB & banana sandwich fan myself. Anytime we’ve gone to the beach lately I bring one for lunch!

This does look so refreshing and easy! I have been on a tempeh BLT kick lately for easy meals.
foodielovesfitness says
Ah yes, I saw your delish looking tempeh sandwich the other day! I should start cooking with tempeh. I never see it in the stores I shop in though – will have to keep my eye out for it!

Wrap looks good! I tend to make a grilled cheese with a salad on a weekly basis when I come home exhausted and want something in my belly right away.

Thanks! Grilled cheese is one of my favorites too. I love it with cheddar + sliced avocado and tomato!
