Veggie Wrap With Hummus (Print Version)
Fresh wraps with crisp vegetables and creamy hummus, ready in 15 minutes for a satisfying Mediterranean-style 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
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh 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 when rolling.
03 - Distribute the shredded carrots, baby spinach, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, red cabbage, and avocado evenly 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 inside.
06 - Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal for presentation. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you get to eat in under fifteen minutes.
- The hummus acts as both spread and dressing, so every single bite tastes creamy without needing a separate sauce.
02 -
- Overfilling the wrap is the fastest way to watch it fall apart in your hands, so less is genuinely more with the vegetables.
- Wrapping these tightly in parchment paper and refrigerating them for an hour before slicing helps everything set and makes cleaner cuts.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for ten seconds per side and it becomes dramatically more pliable and less likely to tear during rolling.
- The secret to a wrap that does not unravel is placing the heaviest ingredients like carrots and cabbage closest to the bottom edge where you start rolling.
