Ingredients
- 2 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (10-inch)
- 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1/4 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, tahini, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent spillage.
- Arrange the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, shredded cabbage, and baby spinach evenly over the hummus layer on each tortilla.
- Drizzle half of the lemon-tahini dressing over the veggies on each wrap.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly if using, then add fresh parsley or cilantro leaves on top for extra freshness.
- Starting from one edge, gently roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.
- Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
Chef tips
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
- If you don’t have tahini, you can double the hummus or use a creamy nut butter like almond butter for a different flavor twist.
- Julienne the vegetables uniformly for easier rolling and a balanced bite in every mouthful.
- Store leftover dressing separately and add just before eating to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
Pros
- Packed with fresh vegetables, providing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
- Quick and easy to prepare with no cooking required.
- Versatile and customizable to suit different dietary preferences and available ingredients.
Cons / watch-outs
- Wraps can become soggy if stored for too long after assembling.
- Not suitable for people with sesame allergies unless tahini is omitted or substituted.
