Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Vegetables

  • 1 medium zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Wraps and Oils

  • 6 thin tortilla wraps or crepes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and finely chop zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and spinach. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and the vegetables, sautéing until tender but still slightly firm. This concentrates the flavors and reduces moisture for optimal baking texture.
  2. Mix the cheese filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, dried oregano, and basil. Fold in the sautéed vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the filling is evenly combined and creamy.
  3. Roll and assemble: Lay each tortilla or crepe flat and spread a generous spoonful of the cheese-vegetable mixture on one side. Roll each wrap tightly, sealing the ends if possible to keep the filling contained during baking.
  4. Bake until golden: Place the rolls seam-side down in a lightly oiled baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil or sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t over-sauté vegetables; keep them slightly firm to avoid soggy rolls after baking.
  • A blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheese provides creamy texture and perfect meltiness.
  • Use thin, pliable tortillas or crepes to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Let assembled rolls rest a few minutes before baking to let flavors meld and fillings settle.
  • Watch the bake time carefully to avoid drying out; aim for golden tops and melty cheese underneath.
