A Spooky Bite of History
While mummy-themed food isn’t tied to ancient Egypt, it’s become a Halloween staple.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or vegan cheese
- 1 cup bell peppers (red, orange, yellow – julienned)
- 1/2 cup zucchini (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (sliced)
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Candy eyes (or small dots of sour cream/cheese and olives)
Optional Add-Ins
- Hummus for extra creaminess inside
- Roasted sweet potatoes for more color
- Crumbled tofu or chickpeas for added protein
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Veggie Filling
Sauté bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and spinach in olive oil over medium heat until softened. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Don’t overcook the veggies—keep some crunch for texture!
Assemble the Wraps
Cut each tortilla into thin strips (about ½ inch wide) for wrapping. Spoon veggie mixture into the center of a tortilla (or half tortilla if making minis). Top with cheese.
Wrap Like a Mummy
Use the tortilla strips to wrap around the filling, leaving small gaps like mummy bandages. Don’t worry about perfection—imperfection adds to the spooky charm!
Bake Until Golden
Place wrapped mummies on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortilla is lightly crisped.
Add Eyes and Serve
Remove from oven and gently press candy eyes onto the wraps while warm. If you’re skipping candy, use dots of cream cheese with sliced olives or mustard seeds.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use colorful vegetables for a vibrant look inside the wraps.
- Pre-cut tortilla strips before filling for easier wrapping.
- Don’t overload wraps—small amounts make for better wrapping.
- Secure loose ends with a toothpick if needed during baking.
- Serve with fun dipping sauces like pumpkin hummus or bloody beet ketchup.
Delicious Variations
Mini Mummy Bites
Cut tortillas and fillings into smaller portions to make party-sized bites. Great for little hands.
Sweet Mummy Wraps
Use banana slices and chocolate hazelnut spread wrapped in sweet tortillas for a dessert version.
Protein-Packed Mummies
Add shredded rotisserie chicken or black beans to the veggie mix for added bulk and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with:
- Pumpkin Fudge or Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookie for sweet pairings
- Dipping sauces: ranch, hummus, or spicy chipotle aioli
- A side of Pumpkin Soup for a cozy touch
- Halloween punch or orange soda for kid-friendly drinks
