Ingredients
  

  • Large tortillas or wraps (10-inch): Whole wheat, spinach, or plain flour
  • Hummus (about 1/3 cup per wrap): Classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic
  • Fresh baby spinach (1 to 2 cups): Washed and dried
  • Cucumber: Thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks
  • Carrot: Peeled and julienned or shredded
  • Red bell pepper: Thinly sliced
  • Red onion (optional): Very thinly sliced for a little bite
  • Avocado (optional): Sliced for extra creaminess
  • Fresh herbs (optional): Dill, parsley, or cilantro, chopped
  • Lemon juice: A squeeze for brightness
  • Olive oil (optional): A light drizzle
  • Salt and black pepper: To taste

Method
 

  1. Prep your vegetables. Wash and dry everything well. Slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion thinly. Julienne or shred the carrot. Slice the avocado if using. Set aside.
  2. Warm the wrap (optional but helpful). Briefly heat the tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side. This makes it more pliable and less likely to tear.
  3. Spread the hummus. Lay the tortilla flat. Spread about 1/3 cup hummus evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to help with rolling.
  4. Add spinach first. Place a generous handful of baby spinach over the hummus. Press it down lightly so it stays put.
  5. Layer the crisp veggies. Arrange cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper in a line across the lower third of the tortilla. Add red onion and avocado if using. Sprinkle chopped herbs over the top.
  6. Season smartly. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Don’t overdo the liquids or the wrap may get soggy.
  7. Roll it tight. Fold the sides in slightly. Then roll from the bottom up, tucking the filling as you go. Keep it snug for a clean, compact wrap.
  8. Seal and slice. If you’re eating right away, slice the wrap on a slight diagonal. For packing, wrap it tightly in parchment or foil first to hold everything together.
  9. Serve. Enjoy as is or with a side of grapes, a handful of nuts, or a small cup of soup.
