Directions
- To a large pan on high heat, add the oil, and when hot, add in the cumin seeds. Give this a couple of stirs in the hot oil, just to toast it a bit, before adding the zucchini, eggplant, and salt. Cook this for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the lentils, bell pepper, and za'atar mix to the pan. Stir, drop the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook until the veggies are softened to your liking, about 8 - 10 minutes.
- To make the yogurt sauce, to a medium bowl, add in the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, mint leaves, and salt. Stir, and set aside.
- Toast your bread, if desired. We like to brush a bit of water on both sides of the pita bread, and then add it to the preheated skillet to toast for a few seconds, or until it warms up and crispens a bit.
- To assemble the pita, lather on a few spoonfuls of the yogurt sauce, followed by some lettuce, the sautéed veggies, diced tomatoes, and then finally, we'll drizzle overtop some tahini. Spreading some hummus in the wraps is always delicious, but optional. Fold the wraps, and enjoy!
Storage
- Best if enjoyed immediately.
- Wraps, fillings, and sauce can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Discussion & Rating
I decided to make this recipe because I had the ingredients in my garden and a bag of lentils. My 47 year old daughter enjoyed it with us and said it was the best meal she had ever had! She raved constantly about and said she could eat it every day. My husband and I loved it too and I will be making it on a regular basis. I love your channel, thank you for all your creative ideas and amazing recipes.
Delicious! Super refreshing and flavorful, and all of the flavors come together seamlessly! This will definitely become part of my recipe rotation. Thanks a ton, Sadia!
The za’atar wrap is sooo delicious this might be my favorite meal right now. I’m a dialysis patient so I didn’t add any lentils and swapped the tomatoes for pomegranate. I also enjoyed cilantro on this dish just as much If not more than the mint. I also ate it on top of basmati rice it’s so versatile and yummy.
This was easily the tastiest wrap I've ever had! I loved the combination of spices, the tangy yoghurt sauce, tahini and hummus. Not to mention being incredibly filling and nutritious! I used a mixed herb seasoning on the veggies, but will try to find the Za'atar mix...I also replaced soy yoghurt with an unsweetened coconut yoghurt, since I couldn't find any in my area.
The recipe was enough for many servings - so I'll have plenty left for the rest of the week! Thank you PUL 😊
I made this today for lunch. When I put in the spice mix, I first wasn't sure of how it's gonna taste, but once I wrapped it together and tasted it, my doubts went away. I think overdid it a bit on the cumin seeds, but still enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Sadia for enriching our lives with vegan recipes that really don't make you wish you had meat in them.
I love this recipe ! All the spices work so well. We usually add some roasted potatos, they also go very well in this dish ! But even without them it's so good and also very easy !!!
SO GOOD! So many flavors that come together perfectly. I recommended this dish to many friends and they were blown away too!
Superb
Such a delicious and easy-to-make dinner! Love the garlic yogurt sauce with it. Thank you, Sadia for inspiring me to cook healthy meals!
Such an amazing dish! Everyone enjoyed it
This is so good! It's one of my go-to recipes!
I made this for my family for dinner last night and it was delicious! It's very easy to make so will definitely be a regular dinner for me when I'm back at uni, plus the leftovers make a great lunch 😋. Thank you so much for this recipe, and all the amazing recipies you make!
I made this for dinner and it was so comforting and full of flavors! This will definitely become a staple recipe in our house. I used whole-grain wraps but will try with pita bread next time (would love a recipe from you on this by the way if you have any!).
Just one detail: it would be great if you could add the recommended cooking time for the vegetables once they are on medium heat with the lid on (I did manage without it though by simply tasting it as I went).
Cheers from France !
These wraps have been such a staple with my family. They are so deliciously fresh and we love how colorful it looks on the plate! I've made these numerous times, thank you so much!!!
SO good! Already recommended this recipe to a couple of friends, and they were amazed by the richness of all the flavors too. Thanks for this recipe!
So good! First it sounded just ok to me, but i wanted to cook something with my Zaatar. But it left me overwhelmed, what a mix of tastes. Cooked this again and again after my first try.
The TASTIEST discovery of my 2021 so far !
It's my healthy comfort food <3
+ home made tortillas which are incredibly easy it's a show stopper if you have guests as well !
So so delicious and nourishing and wholesome !
Thank you <3
Hi Sadia! This recipe is delicious! I'm trying to understand the nutrition info a little better. Is the info listed for 1 wrap, 2, all 4? I'm not sure! Thank you!
Hey! Thank you for this receipe! It was so so yummy. Could you perhaps share some falafel and zaatar recipes or other Afghan/ Middle Eastern dishes for us to devour at home!
Thank you again!
Mmmmm! Delicious! Love all those spices! :D
These were delicious! Made for quick and easy lunch. I was surprised by how much I loved the mint in there-- definitely will be looking to work it in to more of my recipes in the future. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauteed veggies and a tiny bit of a bite.
Thank you PUL for this tasty recipe! Made it for the first time, came out perfectly.
