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 into strips
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Variations
- Sriracha or chili flakes (for spicy kick)
- 1/2 cup chickpeas, black beans, or baked tofu (for protein boost)
- Different greens: kale, arugula, or mixed salad greens in place of spinach
- Pesto, tahini, or vegan cream cheese (as alternate spreads)
- Grilled zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms (for smoky twist)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and dry all fresh produce thoroughly. Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Grate the carrot. Toss the spinach leaves lightly with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to season and brighten the flavors.
- Spread the Base: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Generously spread a layer of hummus evenly over the entire tortilla to create a creamy foundation that holds the veggies in place and adds richness.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place a handful of the seasoned spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla. Evenly distribute the grated carrots, cucumber slices, red bell pepper strips, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes over the greens to balance flavors and textures.
- Roll It Up: Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it from one end to the other to form a neat wrap. Use a small amount of hummus on the edge to seal if needed. Slice the wrap diagonally for classic presentation and easy eating.
Notes
- Use fresh produce for the best flavor and texture.
- Roll wraps tightly to prevent filling from spilling out.
- Cut vegetables evenly for easier rolling and consistent bites.
- Toast the tortillas lightly on a dry pan to increase pliability and flavor.
- Add crunch by sprinkling toasted nuts or seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Avoid freezing as fresh veggies and avocado become soggy when thawed.
- Reheat toasted tortillas briefly if desired, avoiding overheating to keep veggies crisp.
