Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Base
- 4 large (approximately 10-inch / 25 cm) whole wheat tortillas, flexible and good quality
- 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 the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 8-10 seconds or in a skillet until they are soft and pliable. They should be warm to the touch and easy to roll without tearing.
- Spread Hummus: Spread approximately 4 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each warmed tortilla, reaching close to the edges. This adds flavor and acts as a moisture barrier to keep the wrap intact.
- Layer Vegetables: Evenly layer the sliced cucumber, Roma tomatoes, avocado slices, yellow bell pepper, and julienned carrot over the hummus on each tortilla. Distribute the vegetables uniformly to ensure balanced flavor and texture.
- Add Salad Greens: Top the layered vegetables with 1 cup of fresh mixed salad greens. This adds crunch, color, and nutrition.
- Optional Sauce: If desired, drizzle sriracha or your preferred hot sauce lightly over the greens for a spicy kick. Use sparingly if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Fold the Sides: Begin by folding the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings to contain all ingredients. Fold firmly but gently to avoid spills.
- Roll the Wrap: Roll the wrap towards yourself, tucking in the sides as you go. Aim to create a compact and secure wrap that is easy to handle.
- Secure the Seam: Press down gently on the seam to secure it and prevent unraveling when cutting or eating.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. Offer extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Make sure tortillas are fresh and pliable to avoid tearing during rolling.
- Use ripe avocado for creaminess and best flavor.
- Customize the vegetables based on preference or seasonality.
- Sriracha or any favorite hot sauce can be omitted for a milder wrap.
- Wraps are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness and texture.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 1 day but may lose some freshness.
