Ingredients
- 200g (1 cup) hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large whole-wheat wraps or tortillas
- 150g (1 cup) cucumber, thinly sliced
- 100g (2 cups) mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
- 100g (1 medium) red bell pepper, julienned
- 70g (1/2 cup) shredded carrots
- 50g (1/3 cup) crumbled feta cheese
- 15ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
- 5g (1 tsp) ground cumin
- 5g (1 tsp) smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing and drying all the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber and julienne the red bell pepper. Shred the carrots if not already done. Set aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.
Step 2: Season the Hummus
In a mixing bowl, combine the hummus with lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until the hummus is smooth and the flavors are well-incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the whole-wheat wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the spiced hummus evenly over each wrap. Begin layering with mixed greens, followed by cucumber slices, red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and crumbled feta cheese. Be mindful not to overstuff to ensure easy wrapping.
Step 4: Wrap and Secure
Starting at one end, tightly roll each wrap, tucking in the edges to secure the filling. Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps in half if desired. If preparing for later, securely wrap each in a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the hummus and veggie wraps immediately for optimal freshness or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Enjoy them as a wholesome meal or a hearty snack!
