A quick, colorful, and healthy snack featuring creamy hummus and a variety of fresh, crisp veggies wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for busy days, lunchboxes, or light dinners.

Ingredients

  • Large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (8-inch / 20 cm)
  • Hummus (about ½ cup / 120 ml per wrap), classic or roasted red pepper
  • Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Orange carrot, julienned
  • Yellow cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Green spinach leaves or baby kale
  • Blueberries or purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • Fresh lemon juice (optional, a squeeze)
  • Toasted sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds (optional, for extra texture)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Peel and julienne the carrot into matchstick-sized pieces. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, roughly ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Shred the purple cabbage finely or pick fresh blueberries as a colorful alternative. Set aside the spinach or kale leaves.
  2. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
  3. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about ½ cup (120 ml) of hummus evenly over the surface, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) clear along the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
  4. Arrange the sliced veggies in rows or scattered patterns to mimic a rainbow, starting with red bell pepper, then carrot, cucumber, greens, and finally cabbage or blueberries.
  5. Drizzle a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the veggies. Sprinkle with toasted sesame or pumpkin seeds and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll from one end to the other, compressing gently to keep everything secure. Wrap in parchment paper or foil if needed to hold shape.
  7. Slice the wrap diagonally for presentation. Serve immediately or store in the fridge wrapped tightly for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Pat veggies dry before layering to prevent soggy wraps. Warm tortillas to avoid cracking. Do not overload with hummus or veggies to make rolling easier. Store wrapped tightly in fridge up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing as veggies lose crispness.
