A quick, fresh, and colorful wrap filled with crisp veggies and creamy hummus, perfect for a healthy lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • ½ cup (120 ml) hummus (homemade or store-bought, e.g., Sabra Classic Hummus)
  • ½ cup (75 g) red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup (60 g) carrots, julienne or shredded
  • ½ cup (60 g) cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup (50 g) red cabbage, finely shredded
  • ½ ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, or a sprinkle of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Thinly slice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado. Julienne or shred the carrots. Finely shred the red cabbage. Place all the veggies in a mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle the veggies with lemon juice and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
  3. Place one large whole wheat or spinach tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
  4. Using a spoon or spreader, evenly coat the tortilla with about ½ cup (120 ml) of hummus, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
  5. Add a handful (about 1 cup / 30 g) of fresh spinach or mixed greens evenly over the hummus.
  6. Pile the lemon-oil tossed veggies over the greens, spreading them evenly.
  7. Top with sliced or mashed avocado for creaminess.
  8. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up tightly but gently. Use a clean, damp cloth to press and help seal if needed.
  9. Cut the wrap diagonally in half for easy handling and presentation.

Notes

Do not overstuff the wrap to avoid sogginess and difficulty rolling. Spread hummus evenly to prevent tearing. Chill the wrap before slicing for cleaner cuts. Optional warming in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes per side enhances flavor but is not necessary. Substitute gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version. Add protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas for extra nutrition.
