Spinach Hummus Lunch Wraps (Print Page)

Creamy hummus and fresh vegetables rolled in whole wheat tortillas for a quick, wholesome lunch.

# What You Need:

→ Wraps & Spreads

01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
02 - 1 cup (250 g) hummus, store-bought or homemade

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach leaves
04 - 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
06 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small avocado, sliced

→ Optional Additions

08 - 1/4 cup (30 g) crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan)
09 - 2 tbsp (10 g) chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
10 - Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

# Directions:

01 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface or cutting board.
02 - Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange 1/2 cup of baby spinach over the hummus, followed by cucumber slices, julienned carrot, red bell pepper strips, and avocado slices.
04 - Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh herbs if desired.
05 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Slice diagonally in half.
06 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required, which means the kitchen stays cool and cleanup is almost nothing.
  • The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes a simple wrap feel like a real meal.
02 -
  • Do not assemble these more than a few hours ahead because the tortillas will absorb moisture from the hummus and vegetables, turning soggy and sad.
  • Patting the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel before layering them makes a surprising difference in how long the wraps hold their texture.
03 -
  • Warm the tortilla for about fifteen seconds in a dry skillet or microwave before assembling, because a cold tortilla will crack and tear every time.
  • The tighter you roll, the better it holds together when you slice it, so do not be shy about pressing firmly as you go.
