Substitutions and Variations
Veggie Hummus Wraps are incredibly versatile and easy to customize. Whole wheat tortillas can be replaced with gluten-free wraps, spinach wraps, or even large lettuce leaves for a lighter option.
Hummus can be swapped for any flavor you enjoy, such as lemon, sun-dried tomato, or spicy hummus.
Vegetables can be adjusted based on what’s in season or what you have on hand.
Zucchini ribbons, shredded purple cabbage, roasted sweet potatoes, or leftover grilled vegetables all work beautifully. If you want more protein, add chickpeas, lentils, or baked tofu.
For extra flavor, a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning can be added. These variations allow you to keep the core idea of the wrap while making it feel new each time you prepare it.
Make Ahead Tips
Veggie Hummus Wraps are great for planning ahead, especially if you want quick lunches during the week.
You can wash and slice all vegetables up to three days in advance and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Hummus can also be portioned ahead of time for convenience.
If you want to assemble the wraps ahead, do so without avocado and store them tightly wrapped in parchment paper, then place them in an airtight container. Add avocado just before eating to keep it fresh.
For packed lunches, wrap each finished wrap tightly in parchment or foil to help them hold their shape. While they’re best enjoyed the same day, they can last up to 24 hours when properly stored.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Wash and dry all vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, and avocado. Shred the carrots if not already prepared.
Step 2: Warm the tortillas
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Step 3: Spread the hummus
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about ¼ cup of hummus evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Add greens
Place a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens evenly over the hummus layer.
Step 5: Layer the vegetables
Add shredded carrots, cucumber slices, bell peppers, red onion, and avocado slices on top of the greens.
Step 6: Season lightly
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add optional toppings like feta, olives, or a squeeze of lemon juice if using.
Step 7: Roll the wrap
Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
Step 8: Slice if desired
Cut the wrap in half on a diagonal for easier serving.
Step 9: Repeat
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with fresh fruit or a side salad
- Pair with soup for a complete meal
- Serve as a picnic or packed lunch option
- Cut into smaller pieces for party platters
- Enjoy with chips or roasted vegetables
- Serve with extra hummus for dipping
Leftovers and Storage
Veggie Hummus Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored with care. If already assembled, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. The vegetables may release moisture over time, so texture may soften slightly.
For best results, store all components separately and assemble just before eating. Avoid freezing assembled wraps, as the vegetables and hummus do not thaw well and will lose their texture.
