Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 4 large (approximately 10-inch / 25 cm) whole wheat tortillas, flexible and good quality
Spread
- 1 cup (240 ml) hummus, flavorful variety such as Sabra or homemade
Vegetables
- ½ large (about 100 g) cucumber, firm and thinly sliced
- 2 small (about 120 g total) Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1 avocado, ripe, sliced thin
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small (about 50 g) carrot, julienned
- 1 cup (about 30 g) mixed salad greens, fresh and crisp
Optional
- 4 teaspoons (20 ml) sriracha or favorite hot sauce
Instructions
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 8-10 seconds or heat them in a skillet until they are soft and pliable, making them easy to roll without tearing.
- Spread Hummus: Spread approximately 4 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each warmed tortilla, reaching close to the edges for flavor and moisture barrier.
- Add Vegetables: Layer the sliced cucumber, Roma tomatoes, avocado slices, yellow bell pepper, and julienned carrot evenly over the hummus on each tortilla.
- Add Greens: Top the layered vegetables with 1 cup of fresh mixed salad greens to add crunch, color, and extra nutrition.
- Add Hot Sauce (Optional): Drizzle sriracha or your preferred hot sauce lightly over the greens for a spicy kick, using sparingly if a milder flavor is preferred.
- Fold Sides: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings firmly but gently to contain all ingredients without spilling.
- Roll Wrap: Roll the wrap toward yourself, tucking in the sides as you go to create a compact and secure wrap.
- Secure Seam: Press down gently on the seam to secure it and prevent unraveling when handling or eating.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. Offer extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh and crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
- Warm tortillas improve flexibility and prevent tearing during rolling.
- Customize the hot sauce amount according to your spice tolerance.
- These wraps are best enjoyed immediately but can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
- For added protein, consider adding grilled tofu or chickpeas.
