Hummus Vegetable Wrap

Whole wheat tortillas: These are a healthier alternative to regular tortillas, providing more fiber and nutrients.

Hummus: A creamy spread made from chickpeas, often flavored with garlic, lemon, and tahini.

Mixed vegetables: A combination of sliced cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot, adding crunch and freshness.

Spinach leaves: Fresh spinach leaves add a boost of vitamins and minerals.

To enhance the flavor and texture of your hummus vegetable wrap, consider lightly toasting the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side before spreading the hummus. This will give the tortillas a slight crispiness and warmth, making the wrap more enjoyable to eat.

• If you prefer a warm wrap, reheat in a microwave for 30-60 seconds or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can make the tortillas soggy and the vegetables mushy.
• For added freshness, consider adding a few fresh spinach leaves or other vegetables after reheating, as some greens may wilt during storage.
