Veggie Wrap With Hummus (Printer-Friendly)
Fresh Mediterranean wrap with crisp vegetables and creamy hummus, ready in 15 minutes.
# What You'll 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)
→ Extras
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Lay each tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
02 - Spread about 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling when rolled.
03 - Evenly distribute the shredded carrots, baby spinach, sliced cucumber, 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 for added brightness.
05 - Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.
06 - Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Zero cooking required, which means you can assemble these in barely fifteen minutes even on your most chaotic days.
- The crunch from the cabbage and carrots paired with creamy hummus and avocado creates a texture combination that feels almost indulgent for something so nourishing.
02 -
- Soggy wraps are the enemy and they happen fast, so pat wet vegetables dry with a paper towel before assembling and avoid adding wet sauces directly on the spinach.
- If you are making these ahead for lunch, wrap each one tightly in parchment paper instead of plastic wrap because it breathes just enough to keep the tortilla from getting gummy.
03 -
- The tightness of your roll improves dramatically if you let the assembled wrap sit for about thirty seconds before rolling, giving the hummus time to act as glue.
- Doublesided tape is not an acceptable ingredient, but a thin extra smear of hummus along the top edge of the tortilla before finishing the roll works almost as well to seal it shut.
