Spinach Hummus Lunch Wraps (Printable Version)

Fresh wraps with hummus, spinach, and crisp vegetables ready in 15 minutes

# What You Need:

→ Hummus Spread

01 - 1 cup plain hummus, store-bought or homemade

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
03 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
04 - 1 small cucumber, cut into strips
05 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1 small avocado, sliced

→ Wraps

07 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas

→ Seasonings

08 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# How-To:

01 - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread approximately 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange a layer of fresh baby spinach leaves over the hummus on each tortilla.
04 - Distribute the julienned carrot, cucumber strips, sliced red bell pepper, and avocado slices evenly among the four wraps.
05 - Drizzle each wrap with lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 - Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll to enclose the filling.
07 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a portable lunch.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • These wraps require zero cooking, which means your kitchen stays cool and you get fed fast.
  • Every single vegetable in here adds a different crunch or creaminess, so each bite feels like a small surprise.
  • They hold up beautifully in a lunch bag for hours without getting soggy if you layer things in the right order.
02 -
  • Wet spinach is the number one reason wraps fall apart, so pat those leaves dry with a kitchen towel before assembling.
  • If you are packing these ahead, leave the lemon juice off until right before eating because acid breaks down the tortilla over several hours.
03 -
  • Make extra hummus and keep a container in the fridge because you will want these again tomorrow and eliminating that step speeds everything up.
  • A thin spread of hummus acts like edible glue that holds the spinach layer in place, making the whole wrap dramatically easier to roll tightly.
