Prepare the Vegetables
Grate zucchini, carrot, and potato if using.

Repeat lightly for carrot and potato if watery.
Make the Wrap Base Mixture
In a large bowl, combine grated vegetables, eggs, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add flour if using for extra structure.
Mix until a thick batter forms.
Shape and Bake the Wraps
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Spread the mixture into thin circular or rectangular wrap shapes.
Keep them evenly thin for flexible wraps.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are golden and center is firm.
Let cool completely before handling to prevent tearing.
Prepare the Filling
Mix Greek yogurt, mayo, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Cook or shred chicken if not already prepared.
Slice vegetables and prepare greens.
Assemble the Wraps
Place baked veggie wraps on a flat surface.
Spread yogurt sauce evenly over each wrap.
Add arugula, chicken, tomato, avocado, and onion.
Roll tightly into wraps or fold like flatbread sandwiches.
Tips
Helpful Tips
Squeeze zucchini very well to avoid soggy wraps.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and help easy flipping.
Keep wraps thin so they remain flexible after baking.
Let wraps cool fully before filling or they may tear.

Do not skip seasoning in the base for better flavor.
If wraps feel soft, bake a few extra minutes for firmness.
Use firm avocados and fresh greens for best texture contrast.
Make sauce ahead so flavors develop more deeply.
