Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the bell peppers for roasting. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool before peeling off the skins and slicing them into thin strips.

In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill (or dried dill), red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
3
Take each flour tortilla and lay a curl of lettuce leaf down the center. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the bell pepper and feta mixture over the lettuce.
4
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides to secure the filling inside. Repeat for all tortillas.
5
Slice each wrap diagonally in half to showcase the colorful filling and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for an easy on-the-go meal.
