Spinach Hummus Lunch Wraps (Printable Version)
Vibrant Mediterranean wraps with creamy hummus, fresh vegetables, and crisp spinach. Ready in 15 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Wraps & Spreads
01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas
02 - 1 cup hummus, store-bought or homemade
→ Vegetables
03 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
04 - 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
06 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small avocado, sliced
→ Optional Additions
08 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan)
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
10 - Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
# Directions:
01 - Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface or cutting board.
02 - Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
03 - Arrange 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves over the hummus. Top with thinly sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, red bell pepper strips, and avocado slices, distributing them evenly.
04 - Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh herbs over the layered vegetables, if desired.
05 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward toward the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose all ingredients. Slice diagonally in half with a sharp knife.
06 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, citrusy finish.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Zero cooking means you can throw these together even in a kitchen the size of a closet with zero working appliances.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that makes you forget you are eating something healthy.
02 -
- Wet vegetables are the enemy of a good wrap so pat your cucumber slices dry with a paper towel before assembling.
- Wraps do not wait around gracefully and the tortilla will slowly absorb moisture from the hummus, so assemble them close to when you plan to eat.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for fifteen seconds per side to make it more pliable and to unlock a slightly toasty flavor.
- The tightest wraps come from not overfilling, so resist the temptation to pile on extra ingredients and trust that less is more here.
