Creamy hummus wraps with fresh spinach and crisp vegetables

# Ingredient List:

→ Hummus

01 - 1 cup plain hummus, store-bought or homemade

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
03 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
04 - 1 small cucumber, cut into strips

09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread approximately 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange a generous layer of fresh spinach leaves on top of the hummus across each tortilla.
04 - Distribute the julienned carrot, cucumber strips, sliced bell pepper, and avocado slices evenly among all four wraps.
05 - Drizzle each wrap with lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
06 - Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
07 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a portable lunch.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • These wraps come together in about fifteen minutes with zero cooking, which means your kitchen stays cool and you get to eat almost immediately.
  • They hold up remarkably well wrapped in parchment, making them one of the few lunches that survive a morning in a backpack without turning into a sad puddle.
02 -
  • Dry your spinach completely with a kitchen towel or salad spinner because even a little moisture will make the tortilla fall apart by lunchtime.
  • Do not skip the lemon juice, because without it the flavors stay flat and the avocado will darken faster than you expect.
03 -
  • Warm the tortilla for ten seconds in a dry skillet before assembling and it will become flexible enough to roll without cracking.
  • The secret to a wrap that does not fall apart is not overfilling it, so resist the urge to pile on more than the tortilla can comfortably hold.
