Description
Mummy Veggie Wraps are a fun, healthy, and spooky Halloween lunch or snack. Colorful vegetable sticks are wrapped in strips of tortilla to look like mummy bandages, with olive or pepper eyes peeking through. They are perfect for kids’ parties and are easily customizable with your favorite dips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded carrots, finely shredded
- 1 cup julienned bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 cup julienned cucumber, seeds removed
- 1 cup baby spinach, fresh and tightly packed
- 1/4 cup black olives, pitted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of hummus or cream cheese over the entire surface, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Arrange a small handful of assorted vegetable sticks horizontally across the lower third of the tortilla.
- Carefully roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from the bottom edge with the vegetables, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled wrap into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- For the mummy effect, take thin strips of another tortilla (about 1/4-inch wide) and loosely wrap them around each pinwheel, leaving a small gap for the ‘eyes’.
- Secure the end of the tortilla strip with a small dab of hummus if needed.
- Press two small black olive pieces or pepper slices into the gap to create the mummy’s eyes.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a pizza cutter to easily slice the tortillas into thin, even strips for the bandages.
- To prevent tortillas from cracking, slightly warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before spreading and rolling.
- These are best assembled the day they are served to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Get creative with the fillings! Use your child’s favorite veggies or add thin slices of turkey or cheese for a non-vegetarian version.
