Ingredients
For the Main Dish:
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch works great)
1 cup hummus (your favorite store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
½ cup bell pepper, thinly sliced (red or yellow for color)
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional, for a punch of flavor)
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce / Garnish (optional):
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes (if you like some heat)
How I Make It
Step 1:
Lay your flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of hummus—about ½ cup per wrap—almost all the way to the edges. This creamy base adds flavor and keeps everything together.
Step 2:
Layer on the fresh veggies next: shredded carrots, cucumber slices, spinach leaves, bell peppers, and red onion (if using). The colors alone make this look like a little veggie rainbow. Don’t overstuff or it’ll be tricky to roll!
Step 3:
Sprinkle the wrap with chopped parsley or cilantro, and season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper. A drizzle of the optional lemon juice and olive oil mix adds a fresh zing and helps brighten all those vibrant veggies.
Step 4:
Start rolling the tortilla tightly from one edge, folding the sides in as you go to keep the filling secure. If you sometimes struggle with wraps unrolling, a quick tip is to warm the tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds before filling—it becomes more pliable and easier to handle.
Step 5:
Once rolled, slice each wrap diagonally in half for a pretty presentation and easier eating. The layers inside should peek out with color and texture, looking inviting and fresh.
Step 6:
Serve immediately or wrap it up in parchment paper to enjoy later—perfect for lunches too!
Variations & Tips
Swap spinach for arugula or mixed greens for a peppery twist.
Add some sliced avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
Include roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu for more protein.
Try flavored hummus varieties like roasted red pepper or garlic for a different flavor profile.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if you prefer.
Add a handful of crunchy sprouts or microgreens for extra bite and nutrition.
How I Like to Serve It
This wrap is a wonderful quick dinner during warm spring evenings, and it pairs beautifully with a light cucumber salad or some baked sweet potato fries. It’s also a crowd-pleaser at casual get-togethers or picnic outings, especially when served with a cool yogurt dip or your favorite iced tea.
Notes
Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The veggies may soften slightly but remain tasty.
If you need to reheat, warm for 15 seconds in the microwave to soften the tortilla, but avoid heating too long or the veggies can get soggy.
Closing: This Veggie Hummus Wrap always works because it’s fresh, easy, and endlessly adaptable—perfect for those nights when you want something wholesome without the hassle.
