Ingredients:
- 4 whole wheat or flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large roasted red pepper, sliced into strips (or jarred roasted red peppers)
- 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, grated or thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Veggies: Slice the roasted red pepper into strips, and thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and red onion (if using). Wash the spinach or mixed greens and set everything aside.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of hummus on the center of each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
- Layer the Veggies: Place a few slices of roasted red pepper, a handful of spinach, cucumber, grated carrot, and red onion on top of the hummus. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil if desired for added flavor.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from one end to the other to form a wrap. Slice the wrap in half at a slight angle for easy serving.
- Serve: Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a meal on the go. Enjoy as a light lunch, dinner, or snack.
Expert Tips for the Recipe:
- Customizing the Wrap: Feel free to add your favorite veggies or protein sources like grilled chicken, falafel, or avocado. You can also add a dash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for extra tang.
- Hummus Variations: There are so many hummus flavors to choose from—try roasted garlic, sun-dried tomato, or spicy harissa hummus for a different twist.
- Meal Prep: These wraps are great for meal prep. Make them ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent the tortillas from drying out.
- Grilled Option: If you prefer a warm wrap, you can grill it for a few minutes on each side in a hot pan, pressing down lightly to toast the tortilla.
