Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat or spinach tortilla wraps (10-inch)
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Lay out the tortilla wraps flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across the center of each wrap, leaving about 1 inch from the edges to allow easy rolling.
- In a medium bowl, combine cucumber slices, julienned carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, sliced red onion, and fresh parsley. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Divide the veggie mixture evenly among the wraps, placing it over the hummus layer.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the veggies and then layer baby spinach leaves over the cheese.
- Carefully fold in the sides of each wrap and roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
- Slice each wrap diagonally in half, if desired, for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately, or wrap in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate up to 24 hours for a portable meal.
Chef tips
- For added protein, add thinly sliced grilled chicken breast or canned chickpeas.
- Use low-fat or vegan feta cheese to reduce calories or suit dietary preferences.
- If you don't have lemon juice, a splash of red wine vinegar works well to brighten the veggie mix.
- To prevent sogginess for later consumption, layer leafy greens at the bottom and wetter veggies (tomatoes) towards the middle.
Pros
- Quick and easy no-cook recipe ideal for busy days.
- Packed with fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein from fresh vegetables and hummus.
- Versatile and easy to customize for various dietary needs and preferences.
Cons / watch-outs
- Not suitable for those with gluten intolerance unless using gluten-free wraps.
- Contains dairy due to feta, which might not suit lactose intolerant individuals.
