Easy Veggie and Hummus Wrap Recipe

Ingredients (Makes 2 Wraps)

For the Base:

• 2 whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas
• ½ cup hummus (classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic)

For the Veggie Filling:

• ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
• ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• ½ carrot, shredded or julienned
• ¼ cup baby spinach or mixed greens
• ¼ cup shredded purple cabbage (adds crunch and color!)
• ½ avocado, sliced

For Extra Flavor:

• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp everything bagel seasoning or za’atar
• ¼ tsp sea salt & black pepper

Optional Add-Ins:

• ¼ cup feta cheese (for a Mediterranean twist)
• 2 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (for crunch)
• ¼ cup sliced olives (for extra saltiness)
• 1 tbsp hot sauce or sriracha (for a spicy kick)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Wrap Base

1️⃣ Lay your tortilla on a clean surface or cutting board.
2️⃣ Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the tortilla, covering the entire surface.

💡 Spreading the hummus evenly helps hold the wrap together and prevents it from getting soggy!

Step 2: Add the Veggies & Toppings

3️⃣ Layer spinach, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, and shredded cabbage on top of the hummus.
4️⃣ Add sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with seasonings like black pepper, za’atar, or everything bagel seasoning.
5️⃣ If using, sprinkle with feta cheese, olives, or sunflower seeds for added texture and flavor.

💡 Layering the sturdier veggies (like peppers and cucumbers) first helps keep the wrap from falling apart!

Step 3: Roll and Slice the Wrap

6️⃣ Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, pressing as you go to create a firm wrap.
7️⃣ Slice in half with a sharp knife for easy eating.

📌 This hummus wrap is perfect for quick lunches, healthy meal prep, or even road trips and picnics!

How to Keep Veggie Wraps from Getting Soggy

❄️ Meal Prep Tip – If making ahead, wrap in parchment paper or foil to maintain freshness.
🌯 Use a Sturdy Wrap – Whole wheat, spinach, or low-carb tortillas hold up better than flimsy flour wraps.
🥬 Dry the Veggies First – If your veggies have excess moisture, pat them dry with a paper towel before assembling.
🔥 Toast the Wrap – Lightly grill or toast the wrap in a pan for 1-2 minutes per side to add extra texture.

💡 Packing these for lunch? Keep the avocado separate and add just before eating to prevent browning!
