Veggie Wrap With Hummus (Print Version)
Fresh vegetables and creamy hummus rolled in whole wheat tortillas for a quick Mediterranean meal.
# What You Need:
→ Wraps
01 - 4 large whole wheat tortilla wraps
→ Vegetables
02 - 1 cup shredded carrots
03 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
04 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small avocado, sliced (optional)
→ Hummus
08 - 3/4 cup plain hummus (store-bought or homemade)
→ Seasonings & Extras
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Lay each tortilla wrap flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly across each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
03 - Evenly distribute the shredded carrots, baby spinach, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, red cabbage, and avocado slices over the hummus on each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice if desired to brighten the flavors.
05 - Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling and create a neat bundle.
06 - Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes you forget you are eating something healthy.
- These wraps come together in fifteen minutes flat with zero cooking, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay happy.
02 -
- Overfilling is the fastest way to a wrap that falls apart on the first bite, so resist the urge to pile on extra vegetables.
- If you are making these ahead, leave the salt and lemon juice off until just before eating because they draw moisture out of the cucumber and make the tortilla soggy.
03 -
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for fifteen seconds before assembling so they become pliable and will not crack when rolled.
- Slice all the vegetables to roughly the same thinness so every bite has the same ratio of crunch to creaminess.
