Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Spread
- 4 large (approximately 10-inch / 25 cm) whole wheat tortillas, flexible and good quality
- 1 cup (240 ml) hummus, flavorful variety such as Sabra or homemade
Vegetables
- ½ large cucumber (about 100 g), firm and thinly sliced
- 2 small Roma tomatoes (about 120 g total), sliced thin
- 1 avocado, ripe, sliced thin
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot (about 50 g), julienned
- 1 cup (about 30 g) mixed salad greens, fresh and crisp
Optional
- 4 teaspoons (20 ml) sriracha or favorite hot sauce
Instructions
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 8-10 seconds or in a skillet until they are soft and pliable. They should feel warm to the touch and be easy to roll without tearing.
- Spread Hummus: Spread approximately 4 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each warmed tortilla, reaching close to the edges. This adds flavor and acts as a moisture barrier to keep the wrap intact.
- Layer Vegetables: Evenly layer the sliced cucumber, Roma tomatoes, avocado slices, yellow bell pepper, and julienned carrot over the hummus on each tortilla. Distribute the vegetables uniformly for balanced flavor and texture.
- Add Salad Greens: Top the layered vegetables with 1 cup of fresh mixed salad greens. Be generous to add crunch, color, and nutrition.
- Drizzle Sauce: If desired, drizzle sriracha or your preferred hot sauce lightly over the greens for a spicy kick. Use sparingly if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Fold Sides Inward: Begin by folding the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings to contain all ingredients. Fold firmly but gently to avoid spills.
- Roll the Wrap: Next, roll the wrap towards yourself, tucking in the sides as you go. The goal is to create a compact and secure wrap easy to handle.
- Secure the Wrap: Press down gently on the seam to secure it and prevent unraveling when cutting or eating.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. Offer extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
- Warm tortillas are easier to roll and less likely to tear.
- Optional sriracha can be substituted with any preferred hot sauce or omitted for a mild taste.
- These wraps are best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
- To make it vegan, ensure the hummus you choose contains no animal products.
