Start to finish: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

• 2 medium zucchini, about 1/2 pound each, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Pinch of freshly ground pepper
• 1 cup hummus (store-bought)
• 4 pieces whole-grain wrap bread (about 2 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 large tomatoes, sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

1. Preheat the broiler. Discard the outermost slices of zucchini and brush the rest with oil; dust with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and broil about 3 inches from heat for 5 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly browned.
2. Spread 1/4 cup hummus on each wrap and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon pine nuts. Top with a few slices of tomato and zucchini, 1/2 cup spinach, a few sliced onions, and 1 tablespoon mint. Roll up and cut in half on a diagonal.
