Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: None
Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or tomato wraps work great)
- ½ cup hummus (store-bought or homemade—live your best life!)
- 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1 bell pepper (any color, sliced into thin strips)
- ½ avocado, sliced (optional, but always a win)
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional, for a creamy touch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional drizzle: balsamic glaze or olive oil
Instructions
- Lay the Foundation:
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface or cutting board. If your wrap tries to roll away, remind it who’s boss.
- Spread the Hummus:
- Generously spread about ¼ cup of hummus evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla. Don’t skimp—it’s the glue that holds your wrap together (and it’s delicious).
- Layer the Veggies:
- Start with the mixed greens, then add cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with cheese if you’re using it, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Wrap It Up:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Think burrito style but less messy (hopefully).
- Cut and Serve:
- Slice the wrap in half diagonally for that café-worthy presentation. Serve immediately or wrap it in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use fresh veggies for the best crunch and flavor.
- Toast the wrap slightly if you prefer a warm, pliable tortilla.
- Experiment with different hummus flavors—roasted red pepper or garlic hummus are excellent choices.
DON’T:
- Overfill the wrap—it’s tempting but ends in veggie spillage chaos.
- Skip the seasoning; a little salt and pepper make all the difference.
- Let it sit too long if packed with wet veggies (e.g., tomatoes)—it might get soggy.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations:
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, turkey slices, or falafel.
- Spicy Kick: Spread a bit of sriracha or chili sauce over the hummus.
- Herbal Touch: Add fresh parsley, cilantro, or mint for extra flavor.
