I like to think of meals time in terms of what vegetables need to be eaten from my fridge. If I’m making something as simple as spaghetti, I can add some grated carrots, chopped zucchini, spinach or bell peppers right to my sauce, and it’s like I’ve hidden a whole bunch of extra vitamins in our meal!
Veggie wraps are the perfect lunch or easy dinner to customize to use the produce you have on hand. The hummus acts as a tasty “glue” that holds everything together and adds a boost of flavor.
How to Make a Veggie Wrap
- Spread hummus over tortilla.
- Add edamame, spinach, avocado, carrot, cucumber, and any other desired vegetables.
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil. Roll up your wrap and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Hummus: Try different flavors of hummus, like cilantro jalapeño, or roasted red pepper.
- Wrap: Use your favorite flavor of wrap, including spinach, whole wheat, or sun dried tomato.
- Add more veggies: alfalfa sprouts, chopped tomato, radish, corn, lettuce, cabbage, beets, red bell pepper, cooked zucchini, etc.
- Add protein: if you’re looking for a boost of protein, add some nuts, a spread of cottage cheese, slice of turkey, or shredded chicken.
