Wraps and fillings (makes about 12 thirds / 4 full wraps per variety, 12 total thirds)
Tabbouleh (yields ~3 cups, enough for all wraps)
Tempeh marinade & garnish
Assembly & finishing
Method
Tabbouleh
Combine chopped parsley, mint, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions in a mixing bowl. Add the fluffed bulgur.
Tempeh
Slice 8 oz tempeh into 1/4-inch strips or small cubes for filling.
Whisk together 2 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs maple syrup, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Marinate tempeh in this mixture for 10–15 minutes.
Cheese & Hummus Preparation
Wrap Assembly
Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface. For all wraps, leave about a 1/2-inch border around the edge to prevent overflow.
Tabbouleh - Cheese (Fresh Mozzarella) wrap
Spread a thin smear (about 1 tbs) of mayonnaise or yogurt if using. Add a layer of mixed greens (about 1/3 cup), spoon ~1/4 cup tabbouleh down the center, top with 3 oz sliced fresh mozzarella (divide mozzarella evenly across 4 wraps), season lightly with pepper. Fold sides in and roll tightly from one edge. Repeat to make 4 full wraps.
Tempeh - Riviera (Cheese) wrap
On the third variety, spread a light layer of hummus or mayo (optional), add 1/3 cup mixed greens, 2–3 oz seared tempeh per wrap (divide evenly), and top with 1.5 oz sliced Riviera/provolone cheese. Fold and roll tightly to make 4 full wraps.
Press each wrap gently to seal. If desired, brush a little olive oil on the outside and warm in a dry skillet or panini press for 1–2 minutes per side until warmed and slightly golden (optional).
Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each full wrap into thirds on a diagonal to produce 12 thirds total (3 varieties × 4 thirds each). Arrange on a tray with the cut-side up so fillings are visible.
Serving & Storage
Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. If making ahead, keep tabbouleh slightly drier to prevent soggy wraps and add any toasted finishing step just before serving.
Label each third or group them by variety (Tabbouleh-Cheese, Tabbouleh-Hummus, Tempeh-Riviera) for easy service.
