  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, steamed broccoli, and halved cherry tomatoes. Pour the za'atar dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
  5. Warm the whole wheat wraps in a pan for about 1–2 minutes on each side until pliable.

  7. Slice each wrap in half and serve with a simple mixed greens salad on the side.
