Ingredients
Wraps and Spread
- 4 large flour or whole-wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup hummus
Vegetables and Greens
- 1 cup mixed greens or baby spinach
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 carrot, grated
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Toppings and Dressing
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a light, flavorful dressing.
- Spread Hummus: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus over the center of each tortilla to add creaminess and bind the ingredients.
- Add Vegetables: Layer the mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, red bell pepper, grated carrot, red onion, and sliced avocado on top of the hummus on each tortilla to build fresh and crisp texture.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the vegetables to enhance flavor and add a nutritional boost, if using.
- Drizzle Dressing: Lightly drizzle some of the lemon and olive oil dressing over the layered vegetables for additional moisture and zesty taste.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward to enclose the filling, then roll from the bottom up tightly to form a secure wrap that holds all the ingredients together.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best freshness and texture.
Notes
- Add chickpeas, roasted vegetables, or grilled halloumi for extra protein.
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
- You can substitute spinach, arugula, or shredded lettuce for the mixed greens to vary flavors and textures.
- For meal prep, keep the hummus and wetter vegetables away from the tortilla edges as much as possible to prevent sogginess.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for best texture and freshness.
