Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced into thin sticks
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • ½ cup alfalfa sprouts (optional)

Spread and Seasoning

  • ½ cup hummus or vegan spread of choice
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: Wash all vegetables carefully. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, shred the carrots and red cabbage finely, and slice the cucumber into thin sticks. Prepare fresh spinach or mixed greens by washing and drying thoroughly.
  2. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice to keep it vibrant and prevent browning. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Spread the Base: Lay out each whole wheat tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of hummus or your chosen vegan spread evenly across the surface. This helps keep the wraps moist and holds the fillings together.
  4. Layer the Veggies: Arrange the prepared vegetables in colorful stripes across the tortilla, starting with the spinach or mixed greens at the base, followed by bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and optionally, a sprinkling of alfalfa sprouts on top.
  5. Add Avocado and Season: Distribute dollops of the mashed avocado over the layered veggies. Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add a small drizzle of lemon juice for extra freshness and zest.
  6. Wrap it Up: Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight wrap, folding in the sides as you go to secure all the fillings inside. Slice each wrap diagonally in half for an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Prep ahead by chopping all veggies and storing them in airtight containers to save time.
  • Pat vegetables dry with a paper towel before assembling to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Warm tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable for wrapping.
  • Layer leafy greens and spreads at the bottom to create a sturdy base that holds other veggies securely.
  • Add fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley for additional flavor.
  • These wraps can be customized with gluten-free tortillas, roasted chickpeas, different veggies, flavored spreads, or spicy additions.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; avoid freezing to maintain texture.
  • Reheat wraps lightly in a skillet if desired, but avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
