Ingredients
Wraps and Spread
- 4 large tortillas (whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free)
- 1 cup hummus (classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic)
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, omit for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds or chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup alfalfa or broccoli sprouts
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay each large tortilla flat on a clean surface to create a base for the wrap.
- Spread Hummus: Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of hummus onto each tortilla, making sure to cover the surface while leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Add Greens: Place a generous handful of baby spinach or mixed greens on top of the hummus layer on each tortilla.
- Layer Vegetables: Distribute shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, thinly sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly across each wrap to ensure a variety of textures and flavors in every bite.
- Add Avocado and Cheese: Arrange sliced avocado over the vegetables. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.
- Top with Seeds and Sprouts: Scatter sunflower seeds or chopped nuts over each wrap for crunch, followed by a layer of alfalfa or broccoli sprouts to enhance freshness.
- Roll the Wrap: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to encase all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Slice wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Omit feta cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese to make the wraps vegan.
- Customize with your favorite seasonal vegetables for variety.
- Wraps can be made ahead of time but are best fresh to avoid sogginess.
- To add protein, consider including grilled chicken, chickpeas, or tofu.
