Substitute with Greek yogurt if needed. Use 1/2 cup. • Whole wheat tortillas: Healthier option that adds texture. Use 4 medium-sized ones. • Fresh cucumbers: Crunchy and refreshing, sliced thinly, about 1 cup. Use any variety you prefer.
Step-by-Step Instructions

- Top with thinly sliced cucumbers, distributing them evenly on the wraps.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends as you go to secure the fillings. Slice in half, and enjoy!.
Things I’ve Learned
Make sure to use fresh labneh for the best flavor; it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If the rolls seem dry, drizzle a bit of olive oil before serving. These wraps can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge; just keep the cucumbers separate until right before serving to prevent sogginess.
