Veggie Wrap With Hummus (Printable)
Fresh whole wheat wraps layered with creamy hummus and crisp colorful vegetables for a satisfying Mediterranean meal.
# 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)
→ Seasonings
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
# How To Make It:
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 during rolling.
03 - Distribute the shredded carrots, baby spinach, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, red cabbage, and avocado evenly over the hummus layer on each tortilla.
04 - Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice if desired to brighten the flavors.
05 - Tightly roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling and create a neat, compact wrap.
06 - Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes fifteen minutes from fridge to plate, which is faster than deciding what to order for delivery.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
02 -
- Overfilling the wrap is the most common mistake, and the result is a kitchen disaster that explodes in your hands.
- Letting the assembled wraps sit too long before eating makes the tortilla soggy, so if you are packing them for lunch, wrap them tightly in parchment and eat within a day.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for ten seconds in a skillet before assembling and it becomes pliable enough to roll without cracking.
- Spread the hummus all the way to the edges for the best seal, because that is what holds the wrap together when you slice it.
