Assembly

  • Drizzle Greek salad dressing over the layered ingredients and sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
  • Slice the wrap diagonally and serve it with extra dressing or a side of your favorite dip.
