Ingredients:
- Wraps: For a low-carb option, you can choose from options like whole wheat tortillas, spinach wraps, or even large lettuce leaves. Pro-tip: Warm the wraps slightly in a microwave or skillet for 10 seconds for better rolling.
- Hummus: This is the star of the show! Use classic hummus or explore flavored varieties like roasted red pepper or roasted garlic hummus.
- Veggies: Here’s where you can get creative! Here are some ideas:
- Crisp Veggies: Sliced cucumber, tomato, bell pepper (different colors for visual appeal!), shredded carrots, and celery sticks (thinly sliced for easier chewing).
- Creamy Veggies: Sliced avocado, mashed peas.
- Leafy Greens: baby spinach, mixed salad greens, and arugula for a peppery kick.
- Extras (Optional):
- Protein Boost: Add crumbled feta cheese, sliced grilled chicken, or chopped chickpeas for extra protein.
- Crunch Factor: sprouts (alfalfa or broccoli), and chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts) for a delightful textural contrast.
- Sauces: Drizzle with a light vinaigrette dressing, lemon juice, and olive oil, or a spicy sauce like Sriracha for a kick.
Instructions:
- Spread a generous amount of hummus (around 4 tablespoons) on your warmed wrap, leaving a one-inch border around the edges for easier wrapping.
- Layer your favorite crisp veggies first, then creamy options like avocado, and top greens, and any greens.
- Add your protein and crunch elements, if using.
- Drizzle with your chosen sauce for extra flavor.
- Tightly roll up the burrito-style wrap, tucking in the sides to prevent fillings from falling out. You can cut the wrap in half for easier handling.
Tips:
- To make the wrap extra filling, roast some veggies like bell peppers or eggplant for a smoky flavor.
- Marinate sliced red onions in balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes to take way the sharp bite.
- If you’re using a lettuce wrap, spread a thin layer of hummus to prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
- For a fun twist, spread a layer of pesto instead of hummus for a vibrant green base.
With these tips and recipe ideas, you can create endless variations of delicious and satisfying veggie hummus wraps!
