A quick and easy fresh hummus wrap with crisp veggies and tangy tahini sauce, perfect for a light lunch or dinner. This wrap combines wholesome ingredients for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

  • Large whole wheat or spinach tortilla wraps
  • Hummus (creamy, classic chickpea hummus)
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Shredded carrots
  • Fresh spinach or mixed greens
  • Thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • Tahini paste (3 tablespoons)
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic, minced (1 small clove)
  • Water (2 to 3 tablespoons)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of ground cumin or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh veggies thoroughly. Slice cucumber and red bell pepper into thin strips or rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Shred carrots finely and thinly slice red onion if using. Roughly chop spinach or mixed greens if leaves are large. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons tahini paste, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 minced small garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons water until sauce is smooth and pourable. Adjust lemon or salt to taste. (About 5 minutes)
  3. Optional: Warm the wraps by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each tortilla in the pan for about 20 seconds per side until lightly toasted and flexible. Skip if you prefer a cooler wrap.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat. Spread 3 tablespoons hummus evenly over the center, leaving a 1-inch border around edges. Layer spinach, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, shredded carrots, and red onion slices if using on top of hummus.
  5. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of prepared tahini sauce over the veggies in a zigzag pattern.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Use gentle pressure to keep filling snug. Secure with a toothpick if desired. Cut wrap in half diagonally for serving. (About 5 minutes)

Notes

Pat cucumber slices dry to prevent soggy wraps. Do not overfill to avoid wrap falling apart. Warm tortillas slightly for easier rolling. Adjust tahini sauce thickness by adding water slowly. Variations include adding grilled chicken, tofu, or falafel for protein boost.
