Veggie Wrap With Hummus Recipe

I have been loving my Avocado Veggie Wrap recently. Using 4 whole wheat wraps, creamy hummus, ripe avocado, tender spinach, and tangy feta cheese with a fresh crunch of red bell pepper and cucumber, this quick, nutritious lunch never fails to impress me. Every bite is a satisfying blend of flavors.

I recently came up with this amazing Veggie Wrap with Hummus that has totally become my go-to for a quick vegetarian lunch. I start off with 4 large whole wheat wraps and add 1/2 cup plain hummus which gives it a creamy base.

Then there’s the avocado – 1 ripe one pitted and sliced – plus 1 cup of baby spinach leaves that add a fresh crunch. I love mixing in 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese with sliced red bell pepper and cucumber for that perfect tangy and crisp combo.

A few slices of tomato and 1/4 red onion, tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, really elevate the flavor. I enjoy this recipe on hectic workdays when I need something healthy and filling but quick to make.

It’s one of those ideas that fits perfectly into my collection of meatless and vegan meals on the go. Enjoy giving it a try!

FAQ

Veggie Wrap With Hummus Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Instead of plain hummus you can use a roasted red pepper version or a Greek yogurt mix with lemon juice for a tangier taste
• If you dont have a ripe avocado you can try mashed chickpeas to keep the wrap creamy
• You might swap out the crumbled feta with goat cheese or even a little ricotta salata for a different flavor
• Baby spinach can be changed to mixed greens or arugula if you want a bit more of a peppery bite
• You could replace the red bell pepper with a yellow or orange one for a sweeter crunch and some extra color

Pro Tips

1. Try warming up the wraps in the microwave for about 10 seconds before spreading out the hummus so they get a little softer and easier to roll without tearing.
2. When slicing the veggies, keep the pieces roughly the same size so each bite gets a good mix of flavors and textures instead of some bites being all avocado and others all bell pepper.
3. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over your fillings just before rolling up the wrap; this helps keep it from getting soggy too quick and makes the flavors pop a bit more.
4. If you have a few extra minutes, toss a little salt and pepper into the avocado slices or even into the hummus itself, so the seasoning is more evenly spread throughout the wrap.
