Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 whole wheat tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons hummus
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or cilantro, chopped

Optional Variations / Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, tempeh strips, or tofu cubes (for protein boost)
  • Sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha (for spicy kick)
  • Alternative greens: kale, arugula, or romaine leaves
  • Nutty spreads: almond butter or cashew cream instead of hummus
  • Crunchy extras: roasted sunflower seeds or toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Veggies: Wash and dry all fresh produce. Thinly slice the cucumbers, bell peppers, and avocados. Grate the carrots and halve the cherry tomatoes to have everything ready for assembly.
  2. Lay Out the Tortilla: Place a whole wheat tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the entire surface to add moisture, flavor, and to help hold the fillings together.
  3. Layer the Vegetables: Start with fresh spinach leaves to create a green base, then add grated carrots, sliced cucumbers, red bell peppers, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle lemon juice, salt, and pepper over the veggies to enhance their natural flavors.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs: If using fresh herbs like cilantro or dill, sprinkle them evenly on top of the vegetable layers to add fragrant brightness and elevate the flavor.
  5. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward carefully, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to create a neat, compact wrap that is easy to handle and eat.

Notes

  • Use the freshest, crisp vegetables available for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Don’t overfill the wrap to prevent sogginess and splitting.
  • Try flavored tortillas such as spinach, tomato basil, or whole grain for extra twist.
  • Chill the wraps for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and improve texture.
  • Wrap in parchment paper or foil for easy portability when taking on the go.
  • Gluten-free tortillas can be used as an alternative for gluten-sensitive diets.
  • Best eaten within 24 hours to ensure freshness and prevent veggies from becoming soggy.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it diminishes texture and flavor.
  • If preferred warm, toast briefly for 1-2 minutes in a pan or sandwich press without overheating.
