Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
Yes, prepare the components ahead and assemble just before eating for the best texture.

2. Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey works well and creates a lighter version.

3. Can I make the whipped feta without a food processor?
Yes, mash the feta with a fork and mix thoroughly with the other ingredients for a chunkier texture.

4. What type of wrap works best?
Whole wheat flatbreads, pita, lavash, or large tortillas all work well.

5. Can I freeze the assembled wraps?
It is better to freeze only the cooked beef filling because fresh vegetables and whipped feta do not freeze well.

Add extra lean beef, more Greek yogurt in the sauce, or serve with a side of grilled chicken or boiled eggs.
