Veggie Wrap With Hummus (Printable Version)
Fresh Mediterranean-style wrap with crisp vegetables and smooth hummus
# 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
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
03 - Evenly distribute the shredded carrots, baby spinach, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, red cabbage, and avocado slices over the hummus layer on each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of fresh 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, compact roll.
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 Tips:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means you can assemble these even in a kitchen with a broken stove like I once did in a rental apartment.
- The crunch of raw vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that makes you forget you are eating something healthy.
02 -
- Overfilling is the number one mistake and I learned it the hard way when my first attempt burst open like a pillow fight.
- Letting assembled wraps sit too long makes the tortilla soggy, so if you are prepping ahead keep the wet ingredients separate until the last possible moment.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for fifteen seconds on each side to make it incredibly pliable and slightly toasty.
- Spread hummus all the way to the edge on the rolling side to create a natural glue that holds the wrap shut.
