Heavenly Hummus Wrap (Printer-Friendly)
Vibrant wraps with creamy hummus, crisp vegetables, and Mediterranean flavors ready in 15 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps
02 - 1½ cups classic hummus
→ Vegetables
03 - 1 medium cucumber, julienned
04 - 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
05 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1 cup mixed baby spinach and arugula
07 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
08 - ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
→ Extras & Seasoning
09 - 2 tbsp kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (optional)
10 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
11 - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
12 - 1 tsp lemon juice
13 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
14 - Pinch of smoked paprika or ground cumin (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 15 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
02 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of hummus evenly across the center, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange the mixed spinach and arugula over the hummus. Top with julienned cucumber, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
04 - Sprinkle with sliced kalamata olives and chopped parsley. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or ground cumin if desired.
05 - Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to form a secure wrap.
06 - Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately. For later enjoyment, wrap tightly in parchment paper to keep fresh.
07 - Assemble the remaining tortillas following the same layering and rolling process until all wraps are prepared.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It requires zero cooking so your kitchen stays cool and clean on even the laziest afternoons.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes you slow down and actually enjoy eating.
02 -
- Overfilling the wrap is the fastest way to watch it fall apart so be disciplined with your portions and remember you can always add more next time.
- Warming the tortilla is not optional because a cold one will crack and tear the moment you try to bend it.
03 -
- Dry your washed greens thoroughly because even a few drops of water will make the wrap slippery and hard to hold together.
- The pinch of smoked paprika might seem like an afterthought but it is the detail people always ask about so do not leave it out.
