Description
A vibrant and customizable lunch option featuring creamy spinach hummus and fresh veggies wrapped in tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- Several handfuls of spinach leaves (about 8 per wrap)
- 1 cucumber, cut into long thin slices (2 per wrap)
- 2–3 mixed (mild) peppers, cut into thin strips (about 6 slices per wrap)
- Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)
- Tofu or other choice of protein (optional)
- Sprinkle of hemp seeds (optional)
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup vegetable broth (or water)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (packed)
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1½ cups packed fresh spinach (added to the hummus)
Instructions
- Make the Spinach Hummus: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, vegetable broth, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, sea salt, parsley, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Blend until creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Add in the Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and blend until just combined, ensuring you don’t over-process it. Chill the hummus until ready to assemble—about 15-30 minutes in the fridge will enhance the flavors.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out your tortillas, and spread about ¼ cup of spinach hummus on each tortilla. Layer with a handful of spinach leaves, 2 cucumber slices, 6 strips of peppers, and any protein you’ve chosen.
- Roll the Wraps: Start at one end, and roll tightly while tucking in the sides as you go to prevent spills. Wrap each one in foil to keep fresh or secure them with a toothpick.
- Serve or Refrigerate: You can serve these immediately or pop them in the fridge for later. They hold up beautifully and can be enjoyed cold.
Notes
To avoid soggy wraps, wait until you’re ready to eat to add any wet toppings or dressings. If you’re using protein, pre-cook it and let it cool before adding.
