Spinach Hummus Lunch Wraps (Printable Version)
Wholesome wraps with creamy hummus, fresh spinach, and crisp vegetables ready in 15 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Wraps & Spreads
01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas
02 - 1 cup hummus, store-bought or homemade
→ Fresh Vegetables
03 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
04 - 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
06 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small avocado, sliced
→ Optional Additions
08 - ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan version)
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
10 - Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
# How To Make It:
01 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread ¼ cup of hummus evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange ½ cup of spinach over the hummus, followed by cucumber slices, julienned carrot, bell pepper strips, and avocado slices.
04 - Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
05 - Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling, then slice diagonally in half.
06 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you eat in fifteen minutes flat.
- The creaminess of hummus paired with the crunch of raw vegetables is the kind of contrast that makes you forget you are eating something healthy.
02 -
- Do not assemble these more than an hour ahead or the tortilla will absorb moisture from the vegetables and turn soggy.
- A drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce before rolling completely changes the personality of this wrap in the best way.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for fifteen seconds before filling and it becomes dramatically easier to roll without tearing.
- Spread the hummus all the way to the edges instead of leaving a border, then fold the sides in first, and the hummus acts like glue to hold the wrap shut.
