Ingredients
  

2 large zucchini, spiralized or julienned

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

4 whole-wheat wraps or tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, for grilling

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the spiralized zucchini and chopped spinach. Sprinkle in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, followed by the garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and coated with the seasonings.

    Assemble the Wraps: Place the whole-wheat wraps on a clean, flat surface. Spoon an equal amount of the cheesy zucchini and spinach mixture into the center of each wrap, ensuring to leave about an inch of space at the edges for easier folding.

      Wrap It Up: Gently fold the sides of each wrap inward to contain the filling. Carefully roll the wrap tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Use toothpicks to hold the wraps closed if needed to prevent them from unrolling during grilling.

        Grill the Wraps: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat until it shimmers. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet, ensuring they have some space between them. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they achieve a crispy golden-brown exterior and the cheese melts beautifully inside.

          Slice and Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice each wrap diagonally into halves for easy handling. Serve warm, alongside your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or a refreshing garlic aioli for an extra flavor boost.
